Jackson's dance has influenced three generations (70's, 80's, 90's), he has driven the field of pop music, and even though he is now an "alien" due to excessive plastic surgery, his style is still imitated by young people. At the height of his career, we didn't care about his voice, we just wanted to see him dance. Jackson is the combination of street dance and jazz dance and successfully moved to the stage ......
Nowadays, jazz dance is not the traditional type of dance, and it is rare to see pure "traditional jazz dance" and now more often than not, "modern jazz dance" is the most important type of dance. The "modern jazz dance" dissolves into too many modern elements, really dazzling people.
1, the concept of modern dance is very broad, it is new and different, serious exploration for the ultimate goal. In the eyes of modern dancers, nothing in nature can be danced, and every behavior and every action of human beings is not dancing.
2. "Dynamic" and "structure" of modern dance. Modern dance, no matter what form of performance, the most basic is to start from the action, and the formation, continuation, development and change of the action, the most important thing is to look at the action of the borrowing method, followed by the structure of the work, modern dance breaks the harmony of the ideal of the classical aesthetic principles of the concern for people in the real world and the pursuit of natural real beauty
3, the characteristics of the modern dance movement: In the modern dance works, the emphasis is on the dancers' own behavior.
Jazz dance focuses on movement and melodic performance, which is characterized by free and easy to jump, do not have to be like the traditional dance must be limited to a form and to comply with the inherent gestures, which is the same as modern dance ****. It will be in line with the jazz music to express feelings, but also with the help or imitation of other dance techniques.
Jazz dance belongs to a kind of modern dance, because jazz dance is a kind of multi-performance dance. And it has a strong background of Negro culture.
Today, we see jazz dance, it retains the melody of the music of the past, the body throw or independent operation of the characteristics, but it is not only with jazz music to perform, it can also be with pop music, blues music, rock music or disco music to interpretation. Nowadays, jazz dance has a great inclusiveness and strong plasticity, and can absorb the most popular music and dance characteristics at any time, also because of this, jazz dance is very entertaining and for the public welcome and acceptance and awareness.
Jazz dance is a kind of rapid and dynamic rhythmic dance, its performance is mainly reflected in the action and melody. The purpose of jazz dance is not only to entertain others, but also to entertain oneself, therefore, its performance is not at all pretentious, and everyone can fully show their own selves, and the joyful atmosphere and happy spirit emanating from the dance is very contagious.
Difference between style jazz dance and modern
1, POWER JAZZ is a kind of power JAZZ is very focused on the force point and the force of the outbreak as well as control, jumping up and down is very explosive!
2, MODEN JAZZ by the evolution of ballet, a very gentlemanly and elegant dance is also one of the basic types of other dances!
3, SEXY JAZZ is very sexy, in MODEN on the basis of soft plus some SEXY material and evolution!
4, FUNKY JAZZ is more similar to POWER JAZZ is also one of the power, but he focuses on the force of the point and the process of combining the use of jumping similar to the HIPHOP in the PUNKY!
5, STREET JAZZ is composed of POWER JAZZ and FUNKY and part of the elements of HIPHOP! Stronger visualization!
6, RAGGAE currently the most popular girls dance! Combined with SEXY JAZZ and HIPHOP NEWSCOOL feeling! His original is PUP inside the pole dance! Nowadays, RAGGAE is mostly adapted!
Now the jazz dance, can be roughly divided into the following kinds:
1, classical jazz traditional jazz dance, common in the opera. (It's hard to describe in words!)
2, ballet jazz is fusion ballet. But this kind of jazz, not by jazz to ', but because of the dance trend and combined together. Because the jazz dance itself is more ballet explosive, like the pose of the frame, jumping, kicking, etc., is not ballet.
3, new jazz is now we are generally in the dance of jazz, pose point is more, before may be a dance, and then look for music, but the new wave of jazz is a music, and then with the go with the choreography, like a variety of music MTV. NEW JAZZ early in the United States in New York by the evolution of the ballet over, but it is through the "IF" JANET JAKCSON MTV, and then gradually let the people of the world. It was only through JANET JAKCSON's "IF" MTV that people gradually discovered the charm of ballet fused with hip-hop street dance, and the characteristics of NEW JAZZ can be said to be a kind of dance that combines JAZZ and hip-hop, but NEW JAZZ is not categorized as one of the disciplines of hip-hop.
It is characterized by the extension of the body, and every movement of NEW JAZZ has a fixed angle and a way of swinging, and when you make a hand movement, you will have the feeling of infinite extension, which is like someone is pulling your hand. At present, our domestic jazz dancers are mostly girls, and the dancers in the dance of NEW JAZZ charming feeling can be said to have a great relationship. But in fact, there is no such distinction in foreign countries, we can see male dancers dancing new jazz in many music videos. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new jazz guitar, and you'll be able to do it in a way that's easy on the eyes!
4, funky jazz This is said to be a blend of aerobic dance. It is between hip-hop and jazz, and it has the feeling of hip-hop, but it lacks the rhythmic movement.
5, hip hop jazz This needless to say, of course, is a hip hop rhythm in the beginning of the jazz dance.
6, africa jazz I think the beat is heavier, the action is big and more efficient, the pursuit of the beauty of the force. Usually there will be a head movement.
7, Latin jazz In fact, this genre is not obvious, but Latin jazz, the beginning is related to the international standard dance, like Samba or something. Regardless of boys and girls, jumping up and down has a kind of passionate and unrestrained, full of temptation.
8, Be-bop house and jazz combined with a dance style. BE-BOP this dance style it is a mixture of HOUSE and NEW JAZZ, because it is the same as HOUSE is full of a lot of foot movements, but at the same time in the action must also make the body with the same NEW JAZZ extended feeling, so there is a so-called BE-BOP JAZZ. BOP JAZZ, in Taiwan there is almost no one specializing in BE-BOP DANCER, other than acid jazz, and jazz inside the style; street jazz is also a case of fusion with street dance. Early jump jazz wind is more prevalent, now jump hiphop people more, so jazz requires new changes, the fastest way is to learn like the new trend. To say hiphop jazz and street jazz what is the difference may be a little difficult, but in short is the product of the times!
Jazz dance teaching characteristics1, the use of professional terminology (foreign language) for teaching. Any dance has its own culture, culture is reflected in the name of the dance action, characteristics, style and music and so on. Jazz dance from the United States, the vast majority of its movements are named in English and French (ballet terminology), the use of professional terminology (foreign language) for teaching, can make the students from the language point of view to feel its culture, so that they can understand the connotation of jazz dance, and then after a long period of time in many aspects of the fumigation, the flavor of the action will be more pure.
2, jazz training dance. Thirty minutes before the jazz class, we will carry out basic training. Basic training is usually very boring, in order to increase the students' interest, but also in order to enrich their expressive power, I use a complete and varied styles of music, more performance-oriented training.
3. Emphasize stylistic training. Diverse styles is a major feature of jazz dance, in the two years of training, we learned Disco (disco), Funk (funk), latino (Latin style), modern (modern dance style) ballet (ballet style), etc., so that students have a more comprehensive understanding of the jazz dance and mastery, but also to get a better improvement in their expressive power.
4, emphasizing rhythm. Jazz dance especially emphasizes the change of rhythm, especially those small joints of the action, the rhythm of the change is more dynamic sudden change. In order to improve the quality of rhythm training, I have used the tap dance training method and listening training method. In addition, the use of listening training method sometimes also in order to temporarily rest, restore physical strength.
5, relaxed classroom atmosphere. Jazz dance has a slogan - "Just for fun." (All for laughter) African blacks were subjected to about three hundred years of slave trade, making them demobilized in the U.S. and around the world, living a miserable life. In their new environment and new life, they have not forgotten their music and dance, nor have they lost their optimistic attitude towards life. "Fun." can also be said to be a feature of jazz dance, we are in the process of learning easy and fun, but also more appreciate its entertainment.
6, heuristic education. I do not advocate that children are always simple imitative learning, although the children's ability to imitate far better than adults, but also to train their thinking ability, inspire them to think consciously. Every child is smart, they have the ability to dance better through their own understanding. Specific methods will be discussed next time.
