Purpose: The balance, known as the ability to independently maintain the body in a certain position and return to the starting position, can be divided into static and dynamic balances. Social Latin American dances (salsa, bachata) require dancers to do a characteristic figure, however, they are not trained as intensively as dancing sports. The aim of the study was to assess the static and dynamic balances of dancers, who are regularly dancing those selected Latin American dances, by comparison with those who do not. Methods: The study was conducted among 34 dancers from a Krakow Dancing School and, 37 students of the Jagiellonian University, aged 21–35. A SIGMA balance platform was used to measure static and, the Y-Balance Test platform to assess dynamic balance. The Student’s T-test, MannWhitney U-test and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used in statistical analysis. Results: There were neither significant differences between right and left lower limbs of dancers, nor between values of tilts on the YBT platform in both investigated groups. Non-dancers, however, showed a slightly higher positive correlation between the deviations in the sagittal and frontal planes and the surface area, as well as between the path length and the surface area on the SIGMA platform when compared to dancers. Conclusions: The level of dynamic and static balances of dancing people is similar, when compared to non-dancers. The influence of practicing Latin American dances on the sense of balance require further studies.

Objectives. The aim of the study is to determine the relevance of the SR test for body suppleness testing. Methods. The study sample comprised 20 female students from a ballet school and 20 secondary school students who did not practice ballet, all aged 17. Their torso suppleness was tested using the SR test. The sectional mobility of the spine and hip joints was estimated with the Penny & Giles tensometric electrogoniometer. The material was analyzed statistically, and the percentage share of the respective spine and hip joint sections was determined in the performed SR test. Results. The ballet dancers were characterised by limited mobility of the cervical spine (6.5%) and the lumbar spine (49.5%) as well as an increase in the range of hip joint movement (47%) in comparison with the control group. Nevertheless, the SR test indicated greater torso suppleness in dancers (by 48%). Conclusions. In ballet dancers, unlike the controls, sit and reach test results are determined mostly by the mobility of hip joints. The disadvantage of the test is its global measurement without the percentage share of the joints. In comparison with persons without any disorders, individuals with spinal hypomobility may obtain better results owing to their hip joint hypermobility. Therefore, the above mentioned test should not be used in clinical diagnostics to assess joint mobility and muscle flexibility.

The author of this article analyses the way in which dance and the dancer function within the prose works of Milan Kundera. Preceded by an introduction which analyses the figure of homo saltans from a cultural perspective, this review of the topic of dance (understood phenomenologically) presents four literary aspects in which it reveals itself. These perspectives are not conflicting, but neither are they complementary. The first relates to ritual rites of dancing in a circle, and their (crooked) reflection can be seen in the socio-political experience of the 20th century. The second presents dance as a narrative element, which asks questions about its own nature, and therefore has an autotelic and universalising character. The third aspect presents a metaphorical understanding of dance movement, while the fourth relates to philosophies of the dance and the dancer, as proposed by one of the protagonists in Slowness, leading this persona away from aesthetics towards the experience of public life. According to the author of this article, dance is used by Kundera to discover more interesting layers of the human condition, but much here depends on the reader.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the possible use of biofeedback (information on the course and values of ground reaction forces (GRF) during landing following the performance of a dance evolution) for training minimising impact loads after a jump in modern dance. Methods: The tests involved the analysis of a total of 60 expressive elements of modern dance performed by 5 soloists. The tests involved the recording of the vertical component of GRF (GRFz) vector using Kistler platform in the landing phase following the performance of modern dance jumps. The dancers performed the above-named jumps three times in successive tests: a reference test (without biofeedback) and the next two tests with biofeedback, after the obtainment of information about the vertical value of GRF. After each performance, the dancers watched a course of GRF and films showing the recorded landing phase. Results: Applying of a proposed didactic laboratory session led to: extension of contact time and of time preceding the obtainment of the maximum value of GRFz, reduction of the maximum values of the vertical components of the GRF, reduction of the loading rate of the ground reaction force, increase of an impulse of the vertical component of GRF in the entire stance phase and in the shock absorption phase. Conclusions: Proposed didactic laboratory session with biofeedback may result in the change of the post-jump shock absorption technique.
