In training, we often only pay attention to the number of "circles" and ignore the final fixed dance posture. If this "circle" is put into a dance work, how can it seamlessly take the next action? Dance pays attention to "beauty" It pays attention to fluency and coherence (according to the traditional dance methods at home and abroad, choreography and audience habits require dancers' movements and stage scheduling lines to be fluent). What is the significance of this "circle" in the whole dance if you can't take the next step better after turning around?
Therefore. If you want to practice "rotation", you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
First of all, the "standing" of half toe is the most important point in rotation. Only when the toes stand to the maximum, the contact surface between the feet and the ground will be reduced. From a physical point of view, the friction of objects with the same mass will decrease only if the contact surface is small. When the friction is small, you can turn faster and turn more "circles" with no effort. Otherwise, it's even more difficult for us to turn "two turns" with our whole feet and turn eight or nine times. From the perspective of dance, a great effort will be shown on the face, and dance pays attention to beauty. Before and during the completion of the action, you should not show any anxiety, but should give people a feeling of relaxation and freedom, as well as a sense of integrity and comfort in one go. Besides, if you put all your efforts into this "circle", how much effort will it take to complete a work? How can we have more energy to express the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the works?
Second, if the knees, waist and back are not straight and the chest is buckled, it will be difficult to get better. For example, in the "two-position turn" and "side-leg turn", if the main leg is not straight and the back and chest are not straight, then the strength will be broken down and it is impossible to get better. If the knees are not stretched straight, especially in ballet, it will destroy the beautiful and vigorous beauty of ballet.
Third, when starting the law, "squatting" is also very important. We often say that "without a good squat, there is no good jump". In fact, we can also say, "Without a good squat, there is no good turn." Only when you squat well can you have a better "standing posture".
Fourth, practice "rotation" skills to solve the problem of "dizziness" in the head. Only by solving the "dizziness" can we grasp the direction in the process of rotation. One of the tricks is "keeping an eye on it", which is very important. The so-called "staring at a point" means that the dancer must keep his eyes on a point in front of him when he rotates quickly with the trunk as the longitudinal axis. Even if the whole body turns first, keep your head, especially your eyes, behind you, so that you can continue to "stare at a little." Until the separation degree of the whole head and body reaches the maximum limit, that is, the moment before the second rotation of the body, we will throw away our head and eyes fiercely, faster than the body. Before catching up with the body, we need to find the "point" just now and keep an eye on it. This is us.
5. "Openness" is also an important factor in "transformation". This is also the most important point required in ballet. When "turning", whether starting or spinning, ankles, knees and hip joints need to be opened from bottom to top. If it is all "off". Even if you can spin, dancing won't look good.
Six, in the "two-position turn", "whip turn" and "side leg turn", special attention should be paid to maintaining the perfection of "empty point turn", that is, the dynamic balance of all parts of the body. No matter which part is out of control and droops, the rotator will run there unconsciously. On the contrary, if any part is too nervous, the rotator will run to the opposite side. Therefore, every part of the body should be coordinated, so that the toes can be fixed at a point to complete several or even dozens of laps. This requires the stability of the main leg. The ideal standard for completing this action is that the main leg should be fixed like a nail, except that the knees and instep should be stretched straight.
Seven, the arm can play a role in maintaining body balance and acceleration when rotating. When rotating, the arm sometimes changes, but the position change of the hand only moves with the rotation potential of the whole body. Talent is to beautify the rotation itself without losing balance [A, after every action is completed, there must be an end, and "rotation" is no exception. After rotating, it must be able to stop smoothly. The body must not relax and the dance must not be deformed, which is often overlooked in our training. This requires us to form good habits and complete every movement and skill in both training and performance.
In short, the practice of skills should be persistent. In the process of practice, if you find that one turn is not enough, you should pick it out and practice alone. Solve one problem before finding another, so that your past skills will be greatly improved.
