Swing Kahakai Hikina
Swing Hikina a i ʻole East Swing Swing (a i ʻole Swing), i ulu aʻe mai ka Lindy Hop a ʻo ia paha ka hulahula ʻōiwi ʻAmelika kaulana loa. ʻO nā ʻano kaulana ʻo Swing ka Charleston, Black Lalo, a me Shag. I nā 1940 mua, ua hoʻohui ʻia kēia mau ʻano i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Lindy.
Ua hula mua ka Lindy ma ke ʻano he paepae pahu i hoʻololi ʻia, me kahi neʻe iki ʻana. Hiki ke hoʻohālikelike i ka neʻe ʻana o ka Lindy kumu i kēia mele hoʻokahi i Swing. I ka holomua ʻana o ka shuffling, a i ʻole ke kaʻina hoʻokahi, ua ulu aʻe i loko o ka manawa pālua a pālua hoʻi ʻo Lindy. I kēia lā ke kumu o ka hula Swing maikaʻi.
Ma kahi o 55 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hulahula ʻia ʻo Swing ma ka ʻāpana Harlem o NYC i kahi manawa i makemake nui ʻia ai nā mea nui e like me Chic Webb, Duke Ellington a me Benny Goodman a ma laila kahi e hulahula ai ka hulahula i nā ʻanuʻu a me nā kaila kaulana o kēia lā.
No nā makahiki he nui, ua hoʻohihi nā hale ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma luna o nā ʻano wao o ka hulahula Swing no ka mea ʻo nā mea e pili ana i ka acrobatics i kaupalena ʻia i ka helu o ka poʻe i hiki ke hulahula i hoʻokahi manawa. Hiki nō naʻe, ke hana i ka hulahula maikaʻi ʻana i kahi wahi liʻiliʻi. ʻAʻohe nīnau aia ʻo Swing ma aneʻi e noho ai. Ma nā wahi āpau o ka ʻāina hiki i kekahi ke ʻike i nā mea hulahula e pākuʻi nei i kā lākou mau wehewehe ponoʻī a me nā hoʻololi i ke kaila. ʻO nā hulahula a pau, i mea e ola ai, pono e kūkulu ʻia mai kahi neʻe paʻa paʻa i hiki ai ke unuhi i ka adlibbing a me ke kūʻokoʻa piha o ka manaʻo i loko o ka hulahula. ʻO Swing kēia mau ʻano. Ua ola hou ka hulahula Swing i ka hopena o ka makahiki 1990 a i ke kakahiaka nui o ka makahiki 2000 e nā pēpē e like me ka Brian Setzer Orchestra a me ka Big Bad Voodoo Pāpā.
ʻO ka Swing kahi hulahula kahi e neʻe ʻole ma ka laina o ka hulahula. ʻO ka unuhi manuahi manuahi ka ʻano, e hoʻohana ana i nā mele hoʻokahi, pālua a ʻekolu paha. Hoʻohana ʻia kahi neʻe shuffling a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka loli o ke kino i luna e hōʻike i ka Swing. Hāʻawi iā Fred Astaire Dance Studios i kāhea i kēia lā, a hoʻohana i kā mākou makana hoʻolauna kūikawā no nā haumāna hou. E hele ana ʻoe i kāu hulina hilinaʻi ma hope o hoʻokahi haʻawina!
