AM#tuesdee @classichollywooddancers Bobby Van in the 1953 film “Small Town Girl.”
Van’s Hopping Dance has become the curious record for dance that extends functional movement such as hopping into a physical achievement of endurance in strength, technique, and visible conception. His work in this piece looks superficially easy, but underneath a deceptive guise of “ease” are a range of muscles in use engaging the entire body. Bit like a compression fixated around repetitive pressure void of relent until the sequence finds itself complete. It is very unusual, difficult, and a physically demanding task to perform.
He uses multiple muscle groups - enabling force and absorption of impact on concrete yet ever graceful in executional form. His calves in particular - are within the overdrive of repeated launches from the ground. The calves are some of the quickest muscles to tire easily. The quadriceps (front of thighs) which extend the knees are used to absorb continuous impact that keeps pressure consistent as glutes provide upward propulsion to stabilize the hips. The muscular use of hamstrings, hip flexors, core muscles of abs and the lower back is astonishing for such prolonged use. In addition, the foot muscles. Notice the degrees of the spaces between both feet altering as he navigates. It activates other muscular structures. Not to mention continual shock absorption, and also cardiovascular endurance. It is a testament to his physical strength in one of his most unique performances.
