  МЕТОД И МЕТАФОРА Диалектика между структурой и неформальностью в кубинском Касино Введение: Онтология движения Танец в своём народном происхождении часто воспринимается как чисто эмоциональное и биологическое явление, своего рода «наследие крови», не нуждающееся в академическом подходе. Однако появление Метода Квадрата Касино (MCC), разработанного Йоэлем Марреро, знаменует собой онтологический перелом: переход от танца как привычки к танцу как технической дисциплине. Данное эссе ставит своей целью проанализировать легитимность «хорошо сформированного танца» в противопоставлении нарративу «сабора», а также этический кризис, который представляет собой методологическое пиратство в цифровой среде. I. Грамматика против идиолекта: «Хорошо сформированный» танец Различие между эмпирическим танцем и хорошо сформированным танцем — это не иерархия удовольствия, а различие в функциональной точности. Используя лингвистическую аналогию, уличный танцор действует в рамках идиолекта: набора привы...

  方法とメタファー キューバン・カシーノにおける構造と非形式性の弁証法 序論：運動の存在論 ダンスは、その大衆的起源において、しばしば純粋に感情的かつ生物学的な現象として捉えられている。すなわち、学問を必要としない「血の継承」のようなものとして理解されがちである。 しかし、ヨエル・マレーロによる「カシーノ・スクエア・メソッド（MCC）」の登場は、存在論的な転換点を示している。それは、ダンスを単なる慣習から技術的 дисциплинаへと移行させたのである。 本稿では、「整形式ダンス（Well-Formed Dance）」の正当性を、「サボール（味・ノリ）」という語りとの対比の中で分析するとともに、デジタル環境における方法論的海賊行為がもたらす倫理的危機について考察する。 I. 文法と個人方言： 「整形式ダンス」 経験的ダンスと整形式ダンスの違いは、快楽の優劣ではなく、機能的精度の差である。 言語学的な比喩を用いれば、ストリートダンサーは個人方言（idiolect）のもとで踊っている。すなわち、コミュニケーション能力は持ちながらも、普遍化可能な統語法を欠いた習慣や癖の集合である。 MCCは規範的文法を提案する。「スクエア（Cuadro）」を幾何学的座標系として定義することで、マレーロはカシーノを抽象的神秘主義から解放し、ベクトル、回転軸、質量移動といった物理法則へと引き戻した。 整形式ダンスとは、その構造が識別可能で再現可能なダンスであり、芸術を厳密科学のような精度で教育可能にするものである。 ここで誤りとは「サボール」ではない。それは図形の論理を破壊する機械的機能不全である。 II. 「サボール」の誤謬と科学への抵抗 カシーノの専門化を阻む最大の障害の一つは、「サボール」という語りであり、それはしばしば知的防衛機制として用いられる。 批評の言説において、「サボール」は技術的不正確さを正当化するための空虚なメタファーとして機能している。 この抵抗は、科学医学と民間療法との歴史的緊張関係に似ている。方法論は「冷たい」「硬直している」と見なされるが、それは経験主義的アプローチでは支えきれない知的責任を要求するからである。 マレーロはカシーノを「作者性を持つシステム」へと昇華させることで、娯楽市場に存在する凡庸さの協定を打ち破った。そしてダンサーに対して、単なる感...

  THE METHOD AND THE METAPHOR Dialectics Between Structure and Informality in Cuban Casino Introduction: The Ontology of Movement Dance, in its popular genesis, is often perceived as a purely emotional and biological phenomenon, a kind of “blood inheritance” that dispenses with academia. However, the emergence of Yoel Marrero’s Method of the Casino Square (MCC) marks an ontological turning point: the transition from dance as custom to dance as technical discipline. This essay proposes to analyze the legitimacy of the “well-formed dance” in contrast to the narrative of “flavor,” as well as the ethical crisis implied by methodological piracy in the digital environment. I. Grammar versus Idiolect: The “Well-Formed” Dance The distinction between empirical dance and well-formed dance is not a hierarchy of pleasure, but one of functional precision. Using a linguistic analogy, the street dancer operates through an idiolect: a set of habits and stylistic expressions that, although communic...

  ARTÍCULO EN ESPAÑOL INTRODUCTION TO CASINO DANCE (Doctrinal Development – MCC 5.0) By: Yoel Marrero Author of the Método del Cuadro del Casino (MCC) Casino Dance is a choreographic manifestation of Cuban origin that belongs to the group of social partner dances in closed or linked hold, characterized by its interactive nature, its combinatorial structure, and its deep relationship with the island’s popular dance music. However, a full understanding of Casino requires going beyond its festive or spontaneous appearance, placing it within a clearly defined historical, technical, and conceptual framework. This introduction proposes a structured reading of the Casino phenomenon through five fundamental moments: its genesis, its development, its expansion, its transformations, and its later formalization. 1. Genesis Casino did not emerge as an isolated or personal creation, nor from the hands of a specific individual or clearly defined group. From a historical standpoint, its origins a...

  CHAPTER — RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN THE MCC Non-Premature Interpretative Closure and Ontological Validation in the Study of Casino Dance 1. Object of the Chapter This chapter establishes the methodological principles of research governing the analysis, definition, and formalization of Casino Dance within the Cuban Casino Square Method (MCC) . Its objective is to define an epistemological protocol that allows: distinguishing between perception and structure, avoiding interpretative drift, ensuring reproducibility of knowledge, and grounding ontological definitions of Casino as a choreographic object. 2. Central Problem Casino Dance, as a cultural phenomenon, has historically been transmitted empirically. This transmission has produced: multiple interpretations, absence of stable structural criteria, confusion between lived experience and object definition, and proliferation of non-verifiable discourses. Common statements include: “Casino belongs to the people and cannot be systema...

  MCC – PILOT EDITION VOLUME 1 Foundations and Structural Routine 1 of the Cuban Casino Square Method After more than 28 years of research, development, and formulation, access is opened for the first time to: THE PILOT EDITION OF VOLUME 1 OF THE CUBAN CASINO SQUARE METHOD (MCC) What is this edition? This is not a conventional dance book. It is the first complete structural formalization of Cuban Casino dance as a technical, reproducible, and systematized method. For decades, Cuban Casino has been transmitted empirically, without a clear structural framework. This volume establishes: a defined structural foundation a proprietary technical language a reproducible model of choreographic execution What does Volume 1 include? This pilot edition introduces the foundational development of the MCC system, organized into structured modules: 1. Foundations of the Cuban Casino Square Method scientific approach applied to dance distinction between empirical dance and well-formed dance concep...

  CUBAN CASINO SQUARE METHOD (MCC) THEORY OF CHOREOGRAPHIC MOTION TRIPPING AND LIMPING AS FUNDAMENTAL CHOREOGRAPHIC ACCIDENTS 1. General Statement In the execution of steps within Casino dance, there are two fundamental choreographic accidents that directly affect the quality, efficiency, and coherence of movement: tripping and limping. Both constitute deviations from natural human walking, which is adopted in the Cuban Casino Square Method as the structural basis of choreographic motion. 2. Critical Note on the Myth of “Dancing on the Toes” There is a widespread myth according to which professional dancers dance on their toes. This idea is incorrect when transferred to the context of social dance. A distinction must be made between the stage dancer, who performs choreographed movement under aesthetic codes, and the social dancer, who operates within an interactive system governed by functionality, efficiency, and reproducibility. The stage dancer works within a previously structur...

METHOD OF THE SQUARE OF CASINO DANCE (MCC) THEORY OF CHOREOGRAPHIC MOTION Axiomatic, Principial, and Law-Based Formulation I. OBJECT OF THE THEORY The present theory studies the nature, organization, and formalization of human movement as applied to Cuban social dances, establishing the conditions under which movement becomes choreographically valid, reproducible, and structurally operable . II. CENTRAL PROBLEM To determine how natural human locomotion transforms into structured choreographic movement , and how this transformation enables the construction of partner-based dance systems . III. FUNDAMENTAL THESIS All choreographic movement in Cuban social dances is a structured transformation of natural walking, organized through rhythm, geometry, and interaction. IV. TERMINOLOGICAL SYSTEM (Glossary-Level Precision — MCC Framework) 1. Movement Movement is the continuous displacement of the human body in space and time, constituting the primary substrate of all choreographic phenomen...

  How Many Theories Does the Method of the Casino Square (MCC) Have? Introduction The Method of the Casino Square (MCC) , developed by Yoel Marrero , is a theoretical and methodological system for understanding, teaching, and developing Cuban social dances , especially Casino , Son , and Danzón . One of the key questions is: How many theories make up the MCC and how are they structured? The answer is precise: The Method of the Casino Square (MCC) is composed of 21 theories organized into 3 fundamental modules. General Structure of the MCC Practical-Teaching Module Theoretical-Professional Module Social-Philosophical Module Practical-Teaching Module Methodological Theory Theory of Choreographic Motion Theory of Rhythmic Distribution Theory of Choreographic Composition and Structure Theory of Choreographic Notation and Nomenclature Theory of Choreographic Navigation Theory of Choreographic Leading Theory of Choreographic Optimization Theory of Choreographic Topology Theory of Choreog...

  🇬🇧 What Are the Theoretical Areas That Make Up the MCC? If the Method of the Casino Square (MCC) represents a shift from empirical transmission to structured understanding, then a key question naturally arises: What exactly is the theoretical structure that sustains it? A structured theoretical system The MCC is not an isolated set of ideas, nor a collection of independent concepts. It is a coherent and organized theoretical system , designed to fully characterize the technical, structural, and functional behavior of Cuban social dances. Originally, the MCC was formulated as a body of 21 core theories . However, as its development progressed, its internal structure expanded and refined, allowing us to identify a broader architecture composed of: 21 macro-theories developed into 36 specific theories. Why expand from 21 to 36? The original 21 theories already provided a solid analytical framework. But with deeper development, it became clear that some of those theories contained ...

  🇬🇧 What is the Method of the Casino Square Method (MCC)? If the problem of Casino dance has been, for decades, its empirical transmission and the absence of a clear language to understand it, then the inevitable question is this: what can replace that deficiency? The answer is the Method of the Casino Grid (MCC) . The MCC does not arise from a trend, but from a necessity The MCC did not emerge as a simple teaching proposal, nor as just another stylistic variation within the dance market. It arose from a concrete necessity: the need to structurally understand Casino dance . For a long time, Casino was transmitted as repertoire, as habit, as accumulated imitation. But not as an intelligible system. What was missing was not enthusiasm or practice. What was missing was a tool capable of: observing the dance with precision, describing it clearly, explaining it logically, and teaching it with reproducibility. That is the gap the MCC comes to fill. What the acronym MCC means MCC stan...

  🇬🇧  Why Is Casino Dance Not Understood? Casino dance is probably one of the most widely practiced social dances in the world within the universe of Cuban popular dance music and the social dances historically associated with it . However, there is a deep problem that is rarely stated clearly: Casino is danced… but not understood. The origin of the problem Casino is a dance of empirical transmission. This means that its learning process has historically not been the result of a structured methodological system, but rather of imitation, repetition, and spontaneous adaptation among dancers. For decades, knowledge has been transmitted in a practical way: someone teaches a figure, someone else repeats it, it is added to the repertoire, and so on. This mechanism has allowed its expansion. But it has also produced an inevitable consequence: the absence of a clear system of understanding. Dancing is not the same as knowing A dancer may execute dozens, even hundreds, of figures, ...
