RICHMOND ROBOTTIN richmond robottin/rich-mond ro-bot-tin'/proper verb Richmond Robottin is a dance style that is derived from the solo and individual dance art form known as THE ROBOT. This style of robotic dancing was pioneered out of the city of Richmond, California, USA. This version of Robot movement initially derived from the general idea of one person moving like a Robot. Along with basic robot movement by one person, there also developed robot "dance" movement by one person. When there became more than one individual, the formation of a "group" evolved. Many Richmond dancers who considered themselves a "Robot" dancer ("Robotter") developed their own style of solo Robot movement and dance, drawing influences from many different sources (i.e. television programs, community events, social parties, mechanical figures in department stores, one-on-one dance challenges on the streets, etc.). For dancers growing up in Richmond, California USA, the group dance style eventually came together and flourished during the 1970s and early 1980s at its local area Talent Shows. BAY AREA MUSIC & RADIO PROGRAMMING Two (2) major radio station dials and programming of R&B, Soul and Funk music were AM 1310 KDIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDIA) and 107.7 FM KSOL. KSOL FM (the original incarnation) was an AM station in San Francisco on 1450. AM 1450 was known as KSAN until July 1964, when the KSOL calls were first used. As KSAN, the station had devoted much time to ‘Soul’ music, and the change to KSOL meant a change to full-time Soul music as a 24/7 format, the first such format in America. The Soul format would continue until 1970. Most notable on this air check is Sly Stone. Before becoming a music sensation, he was a Deejay on KSOL. Here he is, doing the Soul Music format in much the same manner as many of the Top 40 stations of the 1960s. In fact, KSOL featured all the same program elements as its Top 40 counterparts, such as jingles, time checks and lightning fast personalities. Sly Stone fit in exceptionally well here. (We wish there was more of this recording available, along with some clips of others on the station so that we could get a true representation of what KSOL sounded like throughout the broadcast day). (-excerpt from http://airchexx.com/2012/05/17/archives-sly-stone-on-ksol-san-francisco-1967-828-scoped/) RICHMOND ROBOT DANCE STYLES One of the elements that is commonly known within the Robot dance community is the robot pose. One pose can be followed by a series of poses. These poses are often followed by “hits” or “dime stops” (definition: the techniques of quickly flexing and contracting body muscles to cause a hard, immediate stop in the person’s movement). Basic Robot movement can also be associated with the art of mime movement, both with and without music. Like many neighborhoods in the Northern California Bay Area, Richmond historically had predominantly African-American communities during these time periods. Thus, the existence of R&B, Soul and Funk music has associated ties with its social dances and its Robot dance styles. This type of Robot movement incorporates “funk-oriented” and “soulful” moves, poses and dances. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richmond Robottin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
