摘要

本文考察了高级交际舞(30岁以上的舞者)的动机、态度和实践。本文基于在华沙一家舞蹈俱乐部进行的定性研究(访谈和参与者观察)，并将高级交际舞作为罗伯特·斯特宾斯概念化的严肃休闲活动，也就是说，对休闲活动的追求涉及长期承诺和对个人发展的大量投资(因此，重大的个人努力)，创造了一个独特的社会世界和对所选活动的强烈认同。舞蹈作为一种严肃的休闲活动处于运动-休闲连续体的中间位置，而高级交际舞被分析为介于这两者之间的一个阈值案例，在娱乐和竞争方式之间摇摆。本文考察了休闲职业化的过程，揭示了舞蹈和比赛在老年舞者生活中的地位。

Between Sport and Leisure: Competitive Senior Ballroom Dancing as Serious Leisure

The article examines the motivations, attitudes, and practices of senior ballroom dancing (dancers over 30 years of age). The paper is based on qualitative research (interviews and participant observation) conducted in one Warsaw dancing club and presents senior ballroom dancing as serious leisure as conceptualized by Robert Stebbins, that is, a pursuit of leisure activity that involves long-term commitment and substantial investment in one’s development (and thus, significant personal effort) that creates a distinct social world and a strong identification with the chosen activity. Dancing as a serious leisure activity falls somewhere in the middle of the sport-leisure continuum, and senior ballroom dancing is analyzed as a liminal case between these two, oscillating between recreation and competitive approach. The article investigates the process of professionalization of leisure, showing what place dance and competitions occupy in the lives of senior dancers.

期刊介绍： For a long time, we have observed an increased interest in qualitative sociology, and the use of an interpretive frame to understand human actions, social processes, meanings and definitions, and new social theory generally. In order to enable a free flow of information and to integrate the community of qualitative sociologists, we have decided to create an open-access, international scientific journal. Qualitative Sociology Review publishes empirical, theoretical and methodological articles applicable to all fields and specializations within sociology.
