WEEK 1- ACADEMIC FORMALIZATION OF CASINO DANCE

 


ACADEMIC FORMALIZATION OF CASINO DANCE

(Doctrinal Development – MCC 5.0)

By: Yoel Marrero
Author of the Método del Cuadro del Casino (MCC)


The evolution of Casino Dance inevitably leads to a fundamental necessity: its academic formalization.

After stages of genesis, expansion, exportation, and deformation, Casino stands as a rich and widely spread phenomenon, yet lacking a structured system for rigorous understanding, transmission, and reproduction.

Academic formalization is an epistemological requirement. It marks the transition from implicit knowledge to explicit knowledge, from spontaneous practice to conscious system.

This chapter develops this process through three axes: the history of the MCC, the academic formalization of Cuban social dances, and MCC version 5.0.


1. History of the MCC

The MCC emerged from a sustained process of observation, analysis, and modeling.

Its foundation lies in the systematic study of footwork and choreographic trajectories, identifying patterns previously undescribed.

This process included:

  • Decomposition into elementary units

  • Graphical representation of trajectories

  • Comparison between real execution and models

  • Validation through reproducibility

These observations evolved into a coherent theoretical system.


2. Academic formalization of Cuban social dances

Formalization means recognizing these dances as legitimate scientific objects.

It involves:

  • Defining structural components

  • Establishing precise nomenclature

  • Developing notation systems

  • Identifying operational principles

  • Establishing evaluation criteria

Formalization does not replace tradition; it makes it conscious and transmissible.


3. The Casino Square Method, version 5.0

MCC 5.0 is based on the coreogram as the structural map of the dance.

It develops:

  • Choreographic navigation theory

  • Structural theory

  • Lead and follow theory

  • Technical optimization theory

The result is the Well-Formed Casino Dance, combining cultural essence with structural clarity.


Final considerations

Academic formalization is a natural consequence of complexity.

The MCC does not replace tradition; it organizes and enhances it.

The transition to formalization refines spontaneity rather than eliminating it.
