There is a question: when dancing, do you need music to be easy-going or do you need dance to accommodate music? The answer is that dance adapts to music. This is very important for dancers.
In a dance, whether it is ballet, Latin dance, tap dance, jazz dance or other artistic dances, what is the most important thing for you when you spin or dance? How many notes are there in each beat? Obviously not. At this time, you can only remember a few beats or bars in your mind, and when you finish, you must play the music just where you need it. That is, the music has gone a few beats.
When I was studying rumba, I saw many people chanting the rhythm of rumba dance while practicing. When I asked my students to dictate the rhythm of rumba dance, they also said, "Dong-da-da-da-da-da-da-da." I asked the students what the rhythm of rumba was, and they dragged their children's voices and said, Four beats! So, how many beats did you count? Four beats! In fact, they counted five beats, which is easy to see from the short line of the unit below the rhythm. Latin dancers should feel familiar with the rhythm formula in front, because they often recite it, especially when there is no music practice. I don't know if it ever occurred to them that when he only read it once, he read five beats of rumba instead of four. The only reason is that the four beats of rumba dance move forward with the stress of the first beat, and the fourth beat is connected with the first beat of the next bar in the dance. I have clearly marked the rhythm of the musical Timeline. There are obviously five units, and each unit is a beat. The rumba is 4/4 time. Why are there five beats? Who is wrong? No one is wrong. What is wrong is the concept. Because the rumba rhythm here is the rumba rhythm of dance, and 4/4 beats is the rumba rhythm of music. If you don't practice with music, you just have to recite the rumba rhythm in your mouth and walk around like this: | O, da, da, da, da, da. Why is this happening?
Rumba music always begins with "Donda, Donda, Donda" and continues. Because dance is "four beats and three steps", when you enter the music, the "dong-da" of the first beat is the preparatory beat, and you walk on the "la-da" of the second beat. When you get to the "knock" of the fourth beat, you need to extend to the "knock" of the first beat. At this point, the music has begun to enter the next section, and the dance has just finished one section. Dance and music are always so "misplaced". The relationship between strength and weakness of 4/4 beat music itself is a cycle of "strong, weak, second strong, if", and the relationship between strength and weakness of rumba dance has also become a relationship of "weak, second strong, strong and weak" because of extension. For example, the relationship between trains and tracks. The segmented track is a music bar and the train carriage is a dance bar. They provide the same service, but they are not synchronized. On the rumba, this non-synchronization emphasizes the dance characteristics of the rumba.
