Abstract Dancers and dance scholars often refer to Appalachian dance as an American art form. In this essay, I examine Banjo Dance: A Celebration of the American Spirit performed by Rhythm in Shoes in order to understand the particular narrative of America that the work advances through Appalachian dance. Using movement and choreographic analysis, I suggest that Banjo Dance asserts it Americanness through concertized renderings of Appalachian flatfooting, square dance, and team clogging, which generate a collectivist image of Appalachia and America. Simultaneously, through the force of concertizing and dramatizing Appalachian themes, Banjo Dance stages a nostalgic representation of Appalachia that could be read as whitewashed Americana.

将阿巴拉契亚编舞为美国:音乐会舞台上怀旧的危害

摘要 舞者和舞蹈学者经常将阿巴拉契亚舞蹈称为美国艺术形式。在这篇文章中,我研究了班卓舞:舞鞋中的节奏对美国精神的庆祝,以了解该作品通过阿巴拉契亚舞蹈推进的美国特殊叙事。使用动作和编舞分析,我建议班卓舞通过对阿巴拉契亚扁平足、广场舞和团队拥挤的协调渲染来断言它的美国性,这产生了阿巴拉契亚和美国的集体主义形象。同时,通过协调和戏剧化阿巴拉契亚主题的力量,班卓舞展现了阿巴拉契亚的怀旧表现,可以被解读为粉饰的美洲。
