Mazurkas of Russian balls of the 19th century: An example of the author’s production of the Aerial mazurka
Abstract
The study of historical ballroom dances is relevant today in connection with the organization and conduct of cultural and leisure events and historical reconstructions. Ballroom dancing is used in theatrical productions, feature films and television series, and is an important aspect of preserving cultural traditions and values. The article examines the problem of choreographic reconstruction of the mazurka as one of the most popular dances of Russian balls of the first half of the 19th century and the production of an original dance, taking into account modern technical capabilities and special training of performers. The author traces the origins of the mazurka as a historical ballroom dance, analyzes its characteristic means of expression in the direct synthesis of music and choreography, focuses on the ethno-social and cultural meanings of the dance; shares with students of art schools, secondary vocational and higher professional educational organizations in the cultural sphere practical recommendations for the proper performance of the mazurka, developed independently and taking into account the opinions of the best dance masters and teachers in Russia and Europe. The article presents the author’s version of the Aerial mazurka.
