Champion of African-American dance hopes book will spread the word

  • Updated: Apr. 29, 2011, 7:48 p.m.
  • | Published: Apr. 29, 2011, 6:48 p.m.
  • Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer

As a schoolboy in Cleveland, Frank Ross learned the tarantella, hora, csardas, polka, Mexican hat dance and other cultural dances. He wondered when he was going to learn about African-American dance.

He never did in school, which led him to devote his life to the subject. The retired Cleveland teacher spent 25 years doing research before writing "Soul Dancing! The Essential African American Cultural Dance Book," a how-to compendium, with accompanying music CD, published recently by the National Dance Association.

Ross, 65, wants African-American social dances to be treated with the same respect that other cultural dances receive. Unlike counterparts, African-American dance -- not to be mistaken with African dance -- has yet to enter school curriculums around the world, a phenomenon Ross hopes now will change.

"For the first time, African-American dance is in a book form acceptable for school curriculums," he said in an interview. "Dance historians and dancers erroneously define African-American dance as vernacular, meaning native or natural. Dance is a learned cultural experience, as are music and the other arts. It's not inborn."

  • Frank Russel Ross

Former track star Ross, who retired in 1997 after decades as a physical education teacher and guidance counselor in Cleveland Heights and Cleveland city schools, grew up with music and dance. His father was choir director at local Baptist churches. His parents taught him dances their parents -- descendants of freed slaves -- had taught them.

Cousins from Detroit introduced Ross to ballroom dances known as the Detroit Bop and Detroit Social. In high school, Ross attended YMCA conventions at which African-American dancers from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Detroit did their distinctive thing.

"So I was intrigued by the different movements and styles of African-Americans from different cities," he said.

All of these styles, and multitudes more, are detailed in "Soul Dancing!" It expands on Ross' 2004 book, "The Grand March: Spirit of African Americans."

Ross initially lobbied for African-American dance when he approached the NAACP about naming the Grand March the national African-American folk wedding dance. The organization supported the move "and wished me good luck," Ross said. "I had no funds. I had to use my creativity to get it across."

His creativity appealed to Colleen Hearn Dean, program manager at the National Dance Association in Reston, Va. She told Ross the only way to legitimize the subject -- and to convince school systems to embrace African-American dance -- was for him to write about it.

"He felt it was really important for children to share it in order to develop confidence and pride in one's culture," said Dean. "This is something we really needed in the book world."

With book in hand, Ross is reaching out. He already has approval for African-American dance to be taught in schools in Twinsburg, where he lives.

His big dream is the creation of the first African-American dance museum -- in Cleveland.

"My mission in life is to archive pictures, movies and African-American cultural dances that have been missing from American culture," Ross said.

How We Began

inner city yacht club cleveland ohio

"The cruisers were pulled out of the water on a temporary marine railroad. They got the boats on water and, if you were lucky, you had hip boots on or fishing waders to stay dry...only we never did. There was no platform on the car or anything. You had to go down that river and line the boat up on the cradle and then we hooked onto it with the cat tractor that we had. We pulled it out of the water and then uncoupled that cat tractor and went around the corner and pulled it down the batter boards. Down at the end of the batter boards the women had a big kettle of chili there, and between them and the booze, they tried to keep us alive until we got them all out." In 1950 our first travel lift was purchased to simplify this process, and the present channel for the lift was dug. A new travel lift was bought in 1972 and has been refurbished as needed.

Digging Our Lagoon

Unfortunately, boating was perhaps not the primary activity of our early members because the entire premises we are familiar with had to be created. Members contributed hours of their summers, winters, falls and springs to various endeavors. In early times no cruiser lagoon existed. Gilbert Meinke brought his crane in and made the original cut. Unfortunately, he set his crane on sand and had to call Sherman Industries to come down and pull his crane out of the channel. Members occupied themselves with the sand sucker and pulling lily pads:

As lake levels of Erie rose, erosion increased on our frontage and river wall. The CEI intake and subsequent altering of currents has necessitated pilings and bulkhead placement along our outer borders. Many man hours and dollars have been invested preserving our little corner of the world. In the early 1980's, four clubs and a marina in the Chagrin River Association, in cooperation with the city of Eastlake and the Army Corps of Engineers, paid for improvements on the river mouth which exist today. The saw-tooth along the river wall was completed in 1985 to lessen a tremendous surge problem in the lagoon. Much of this work was done by contributions of members' man hours and back power.

Socializing

Because boating is a social as well as a recreational pastime, our founders realized the need for "gathering areas". Clubhouse construction began shortly after the club was established. Scrap beams and joists and membership labor were used. Dan O'Connel, Sr. Is credited with this project. Our main forum has been renovated and redecorated several times. In 1960 the roof and furnace were replaced. Other significant additions were the gas fireplace in 1965 and movement of the bar, the addition of the Baldwin Room in 1979 and the upstairs renovation of the entrance hallway and restrooms. Records show that over the years refurbishing, mostly through members' contributions, has kept our clubhouse stylish and serviceable.

Social events remain an important part of our club, though their formats may have changed. Until 1957 the Commodore's Ball was held in our own clubhouse between January and May. Regatta dates varied over the years from July through August. The third Saturday of the winter months was dance night at the club, and this often meant square dances. A bowling league on "real" alleys was formed in 1960. The women had card parties often, and the men had their stag evenings. Hayrides, mystery tours and a night at the theater have all been enjoyed. Beach parties, spaghetti dinners, Halloween and New Year's Eve dances remain favorites along with our Welcome Aboard parties for new members. The Club embarked on boat trips to Rondeau Bay as long ago as 1957.

Affiliations

Our club has gained affiliation with other boating associations. In 1956 our Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 7-7 was established. We boast of Blue Gavel and Satin Gavel Chapters, as well as being members of ILYA, CRA and GCBA.

Some of our pride comes from being a family oriented club where children are important to many facets. In 1955, a playground area was designated, and playground equipment has been donated over the years. In the 1960's there was a youth club organization called the Dolphins. The purpose of this group was to provide recreation, entertainment and friendship. The Dolphins also contributed usefully to the club by helping clean the beach and club grounds. Also in the 60's and 70's, a youth sailing club was formed to teach water safety, to sail as a fleet and to construct small sailing boats. More recently, regatta events and the bowling league are activities for our "Dolphins".

After reviewing the past 50 years, we need to look to our future. Our boating membership has grown from 48 to 182. Our total membership numbers 200 with over 400 persons enjoying our facilities and camaraderie. The clubhouse was originally built as an intended basement for a larger structure, and as early as 1953, reference was made to a much needed second floor. It appears we are on our way to adding one of the more beautiful structures on the shores of Lake Erie. We will again be able to host our own Commodore's Ball - now in a lovely glassed dining room overlooking our lake.
