As a central question for musicians, it is also an essential question for dancers who draw their movement from the music. And luckily, quite a few music scholars and professional musicians have taken up the study of groovology, offering lots of groove lessons and questions that I would like to share with you.
In any given song a single instrument can play the groove, but typically multiple instruments play interlocking rhythms that interact to build the groove. The instruments that form the groove layer are usually rhythm instruments, such as bass, drums, and piano, but any instrument and even the human voice can participate in creating the groove.
Because groove is a defining element of groove-based musical genres, it has a telling effect on the rhythmic structure of the dances they inspired. Groove-based music tends to result in dances that have what I will call a phrased basic. West coast swing and Lindy hop, for example, both have six- and eight-count basics. Salsa, cha-cha-chá, and bachata have eight-count basics, each distinctive from the other to match the unique rhythms found in their respective music genres. Argentine tango music, on the other hand, does not have a groove, which reflects in the lack of a phrased basic in the dance (although an eight-count basic pattern is used in some Argentine tango circles to match the phrases of the music).
So the walk in tango, the eight-count basic in salsa, and the walk-walk-triple(-triple) in west coast swing developed into the core of each specific dance for a reason: Each serves as an efficient container for capturing the groove (or, in the case of tango, accompaniment patterns) of their respective music genres. However, the basic of each dance is not a static ideal; it is a central tendency with the ability to adapt to the variations and nuances in articulation and phrasing within and between countless songs in the musical genre(s) of each dance. Even with a phrased basic as the underlying structure, dancers of groove-based music are not obligated to the same rhythmic pattern in every phrase of the music. Rather, they have multiple expressive possibilities, including the following:
Dance and drumming. The painting illustrates how, in many musical traditions, music (here, djembe drumming) and dance are equally important components of a participatory social music experience (painting by the author).
It seems clear that one can enjoy any form of music without actively dancing to it, including those like waltz, jazz or salsa that have their origins as dance music. Like most Bach fans, I certainly enjoy his French Suites, and many other classic works, without knowing how to dance a gigue. Nonetheless, I had listened to jazz for many years before learning to dance swing, and I certainly feel that this experience enriched my cognitive experience of this style (even in its more rarified forms, like Gershwin or Miles Davis). Similarly, until I learned to dance salsa (in a one-room shack in the middle of a Puerto Rican sugarcane field, incidentally), I truly had no concept of what salsa music was about. Perhaps my experience of Bach would be similarly enriched by learning to dance the sarabande.
