How do you do an aly second dance turn?

An al a seconde turn also known as a turn in second or pump turns. This turn is just like a fouette, only your leg stays in second position the entire time through your turns. After you prep for your turns you shift and rotate to the corner where you plie to the corner (bending your supporting leg) with your leg at 90 degress with your arms in first position. After plieing to the corner you are going to open up to face the audience with your leg and arms in second position with your supporting leg up on releve. This is repeated for the duration of your turns. To finish a turn in second you will finish with a nice, clean pirouette. I would suggest learning how to do a good pirouette before trying an al a seconde. when doing these turns, it's very important to spot, otherwise you won't be successful when executing a clean al a seconde. A way to practise spotting, it standing in front of a mirror and staring at something on your face while slowing turning, when you get to the point where you can't look at yourself any longer, whip your head around keeping the exact same spot where you were staring at. The point to spotting is trying to keep the exact same focal point for the duration of your turns. Spotting also helps you not get dizzy. Another thing you must do during your turns is holding your centre, which means squeezing your core and also your tooshie. This will help you stay in control during your turns. Remember to really use your plie throughout your turns and if your having trouble going up onto releve and find yourself hopping to try and get up there, try to have a deeper plie when your at the corner, you might also want to do some exercises, to strengthen the leg muscles that are used in these turns. Open chest, long neck, strong arms and shoulders back also can be the difference between a good or bad turn. Another useful drill you might like to try before actually getting into your turns isholding onto a wall, pole or a chair back, anything sturdy, and practise the two positions. So practising plieing to the corner and opening up onto releve and holding there, remembering squeezing your core to balance on releve. Repeat this until you feel confident to get into your turns. It's very important to take it slow, try practising one al a seconde on your own and if you have perfected one, then two, then three and maybe four, but just remember if you are stuggling, go back one step and do one less turn and try again. These turns aren't easy, it is a slow process it doesn't just happen over night, they can take up to a year to master depending on the student. But keep trying and practising and if you are dedicated your will get your al a secondes in no time!

How do Venda peoples dance?

There are different types of dance for different people. Most are not known, but here is a sampling:

Girls and boys dance fluidly, like a snake, to the beat of a drum, while forming a chain by holding the forearm of the person in front. Once a wife has been chosen a set of courtship and grooming rituals take place over a number of days.

The tshikona is traditionally a male dance in which each player has a pipe made out of a special indigenous type of bamboo growing only in few places around Sibasa and Thohoyandou (which are rarely existing). Each player has one note to play, which has to be played in turn, in such a way as to build a melody.

The tshikona is a royal dance, each sovereign or chief has his own tshikona band. Tshikona is played at various occasions for funerals, wedding or religious ceremonies, this can be considered as the Venda 'national music / dance', which is particular to Venda in South Africa.

The tshigombela is a female dance usually performed by married women, this is a festive dance sometimes played at the same time as tshikona. Tshifhasi is similar to tshigombela but performed by young unmarried girls (khomba).

When was the first dance made?

The First Dance was done around 5000 BC when the son of Able Britt Sloan from the tribe of Evanston (Adam and Eves Grand Son) was working in the fields with his brother Richard Sloan (later to become king of the west vally.) The Two were told to work quickly but they were tired so they rested under an olive tree. They were unaware they were resting among a large red ant bed. the two young men quickly became lunch and started moving around quicly to try to shake off the ants. From about a half mile away there were a group people playing music. From far off they could see the two moving around and it looked as if they were moving to the music. The group tried the moves themselves and Dancing began. You can find more on the subject by reading about the Princes Dulce Sloan of the west vally.

How do you do the Kappa Alpha Psi dance?

There really is no such thing as a "Kappa Alpha Psi Dance." There are certain trademarks such as a stroll that has become widely known as the "Kappa Shimmy." It is not proper to discuss "How to do" it or any other Kappa-related phenomenons with anyone who is not a Nupe. So if you have to ask, then you don't need to know. You'll know if you become a member of our brotherhood.

It really depends how quick you learn in general and/or how determined/ passionate you are to do Ballroom and Latin dancing.
