Natural rise and fall movement represents typical characteristics of the swing dances in ballroom dances. The rise and fall movements are analyzed in the mechanical point of view in the presentation. The biomechanics of the rise and fall movements were analyzed in terms of the potential energy and the velocity of the body. Some basic figures of Waltz are taken as examples with application suggestion to the other dances. A sinusoidal function is employed for vertical and horizontal movements in the analysis featuring the natural swing movement of the dancer’s body. The height of center of gravity of dancer and its vertical acceleration are quantitatively exhibited in graphs for each basic movement of the figures of these dances. It is shown that the maximum height in the movement depends on each figure in each dance and that it is limited by the acceleration analysis regardless of dancer’s height or weight. Full article

According to syllabi of ballroom dancing, the sway is explained as the inclination of the body towards the inside of the turn. This explanation is questionable and a more adequate explanation is given based on a mechanical analysis with a new concept of inclination and bending sways. First, the sway mechanism is explained as the balance of the inertia force and the inclination using one-element model. Further a two-element model is introduced including both the inclination and the bending effects. The model explains the control and stability of sway. The sway process is classified into three stages, and the change of the inclination and bending with time is demonstrated by the analysis. The understanding of sway mechanism improves the dancers’ swing movements. Full article
