looking for a soca dancing scoool,need a web site?

Answer 1

I'm guessing soca = SoCa = Southern California.

Look in your yellow pages. Companies usually give their web addresses in the yellow page ads.

Oops. I take it back. I poked around on dance lesson websites and found some current listings for lessons for Soca/Tahitian (danced to Calypso music). Never heard of it previously.

Here's one workshop, just for an example:

You usually don't find "dancing schools" for little-known dances (well, maybe there are some down in the Caribbean for this dance). Instead, usually you just look around for occasional individual classes or workshops given at a dance studio in your area.

Unfortunately there's no one central place to look on the Internet. Go to the website for a big dance studio in your area and look for links to regional newsletters on local dance events. Or do an Internet search for something like "soca & dance & lessons & [your city]"

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I googled it... no matches. :(
I don't think that you're going to find a dance studio that specializes in this type of dance. They might include it maybe? I don't know, because I don't know what it is exactly. Here's what I found in the dictionary:

Soca is a dance music which is a mix of Trinidad's calypso and Indian music and rhythms, especially chutney music—it is not, as is often said, a fusion of soul and calypso. It combines the melodic lilting sound of calypso with an insistent percussion.

The acknowledged father of soca was Lord Shorty (né Garfield Blackman), whose 1963 recording of "Cloak and Dagger" started the trend. Shorty experimented with calypso by adding Indian rhythm instruments like the dhantal, tabla and dholak. His "Ïndrani" was the first mainstream hit from the genre, and was followed by a watershed album called Endless Vibrations, which spawned numerous imitators. Lord Shorty initially referred to his musical discovery as solka, meaning the true soul of calypso. “Solka” was changed to “Soca” by a musical journalist.

Like calypso, soca was used for both social commentary and risqué humor, though the initial wave of soca acts eschewed the former. Lord Shorty was disillusioned with the genre by the 1980s because soca was being used to "celebrate the female bottom, rather than uplift the spirits of the people". Soon after, Shorty moved to the Piparo forest, converted to the Rastafari movement and changed his name to Ras Shorty I. There, he created a fusion of reggae and gospel music called jamoo in the late 1980s.

Some of the greatest soca artists of all time are Shadow, The Mighty Sparrow, the late Lord Kitchener, and Superblue (previously Blue Boy), and more recently artists such as Machel Montano, Destra Garcia, Shurwayne Winchester, Denise Belfon and Maximus Dan.
