\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHolger Nitsche, multiple World and European Champion in latin american dancing, presents his unique RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae method: \nInstead of getting lost in theory and counting, dancers should learn to feel the rhythm in their own bodies, hear it in the music and translate it into movement. In this way, they can later move confidently in tempo, in time and also in rhythm. This goal is achieved through improved listening and structured movement instructions. Using different sound and rhythm patterns, dance teachers and students can target deficits and train individual movement skills.\n\nDance teachers and dance sport trainers also receive a methodical structure for their lessons.\n\n

In the beginning was the rhythm<\/h3>\nEveryone knows and experiences rhythm in their own individual way. Nevertheless, our senses are not stimulated enough rhythmically in our western world. While children still start to dance spontaneously when they hear music and feel a natural body rhythm, adults often find this difficult. It is easy to understand why Latin and North American as well as African sounds are particularly popular with us: These cultures have an organic naturalness to combine body rhythm with music, while so many of us have simply lost the feeling for rhythm.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What does rhythm mean - for RHYTHME<\/span>CALITY\u00ae<\/sup>?<\/h3>

For me, a musical rhythm signifies the organic (physical) connection between harmonious sounds. In my book and CD series, I have created a structure in which specific musical sounds are physically connected to the body rhythm of the dancer.<\/p>

The problem today!<\/h3>

Dance students and dancers often fail to connect the basic steps, figures or choreographies with the essential rhythmic components of the music they are dancing to. Even advanced and well-trained dancers find it difficult to adequately translate the music into body movement.\u00a0That is why \u2018good\u2019 and accessible musical material is essential, of which, to my regret, there is far too little. In my experience, many dance students have not yet learnt to hear and feel the rhythm. They tend instead to count it out.<\/p>

The motto of RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae is:
\"Forget counting and feel the rhythm!\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

8 QUESTIONS AND 8 ANSWERS ABOUT THE RHYTHM CONCEPT RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae<\/h5>\n


1. What is RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a book and CD series that presents the five different Latin dances rhythmically.
The purpose of the RHYTH learning methodMECALITY\u00ae is about visualizing a given rhythm in the music in the dancer's body. A change in the sound should lead to a change in the body through various instruments. This means that the rhythm of the music is visually represented by the rhythm of the body.<\/p>\n

2. What is the aim of RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The absolute aim of the learning method is to be able to move confidently in the tempo, beat and rhythm of the respective dance later on. With my unique method, it is almost impossible not to be in rhythm!<\/p>\n

3. How did the idea for RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aim was to create a method that would enable anyone to connect with music, and specifically with rhythm. Beginners were just as important to me as top-level dancers. Both dance to the same music. That was my starting point.
My experience has shown me that most dancers have never systematically learnt to hear a rhythm in the music, let alone feel it. They tend much more to simply count it.<\/p>\n

However, it is very important that the focus is first on hearing, recognizing and experiencing rhythmic characteristics, rather than just the step pattern and the counting method. In order to prevent a mere counting approach, the CD included with the books contains individual or several different characteristic rhythms recorded by professional musicians.
Through the CD`s, with its various isolated sounds and special characteristic instruments, makes the respective rhythm pattern simple and easy to understand.
The most important basic rhythms of the individual dances are presented by different and characteristic instruments. Each individual instrument has a different sound. Different sounds motivate different movements.
Consequently, each instrument and its sound stands for a certain body movement.<\/p>\n

An intuitive interpretation can only take place when a fundamental, expanded understanding of the music with its various rhythms has been understood and felt. \nMy method promotes skills to understand and develop the various facets of rhythm in music and body rhythm.<\/p>\n

4. Can RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae be used in other sports?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely yes! It is my long-term goal to introduce RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae, with all its possibilities and facets, into other sports.\nInitial experiments have already been carried out in skiing. There, for example, one of the samba rhythms was linked to the rhythm of skiing in deep snow.<\/p>\n

Golf is also a very exciting sport when it comes to coordinated rhythmic movements. Here, you need to be able to adapt your rhythm to the conditions at hand. Whether it\u2019s a tee shot, a bunker shot or a putt, every stroke has its own body rhythm. I am absolutely convinced that RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae can offer added value for many other sports as well.<\/p>\n

5. What approach is used in the RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae method?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The heart of RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae is our Rhythmusttraffic light.\nWith our Rhythm Rampel, with the colors Green, Yellow and Red you are shown simple step-by-step pictures (Green level) via a voltage change (Gelblevel) through to coordination (Red level).<\/p>\n

RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae is a product for beginners through to top dancers. The recreational dancer experiences the rhythm of the individual dances with his partner. They can enjoy the music and their partner without stress. Top dancers are given a concept to help them control the speed of their choreography even better and take their presentation to a higher level.\nThrough RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae teaches the body to think and the mind to feel!<\/p>\n

6 What was the biggest challenge in the RHYTH project?MECALITY\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest challenge from the outset was to create a system that could describe the music and the corresponding body movement. Although there are excellent textbooks in dance sport, these are only intended specifically for trainers and judges as a basis for their training. They describe all the technical skills in the individual dances. The reference to music and rhythm is not in the foreground.<\/p>\n

There is also fantastic music, but you need a lot of experience and an understanding of music as a prerequisite.\nSo I first had to do some pioneering work here to develop a method that does justice to both. And after a very labour-intensive development process spanning 24 years, I have succeeded brilliantly. The results, especially in the early stages in dance schools and in a dance sports club, have always triggered a real wave of enthusiasm. RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae is a fantastic introduction to feeling and experiencing dances with a dance partner. It's exactly what Salsa, Argentine Tango and the currently popular West Coast Swing are all about!<\/p>\n

7. hen or egg?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am convinced that the dancer is first dominated by the rhythm before the rhythm can be dominated by the dancer.<\/div>\n
I am very aware of the fact that both the dancer and the music have their own rhythm. From my point of view, however, it is the temporal coincidence\/synchronization of both components. I want the dancer to first visualize the rhythm in the music and then translate this given rhythm into the body.
This approach is the clear and legible basis for RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae to visualize and illustrate music and movement. Building on this basis, the dancer can use his\/her own rhythm, although in RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae method is not in the foreground.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>

8. what does the ME at RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae is a term of art designed by myself. The ME represents the center.<\/p>\n

I have no body.
I AM THE BODY!<\/p>\n

I create no rhythm.
I AM THE RHYTHM!<\/p>\n

I AM RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae!<\/p>\n

RHYTHMECALITY\u00ae is a method in which You than the ME gain more knowledge. This leads to You perform and experience the dance better.<\/p>\n

That is what RHYTH is and stands forMECALITY\u00ae!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
