Dance General Knowledge Point Spin

1. What is meant by "point turn" in dance

The point turn in dance refers to rotating a 360° circle in place.

To practice the "point turn" well, you need to pay attention to the following aspects of training:

First, the "stand" of the half-toe is the most important point in the rotation. The toes to the maximum, so that the foot and the ground contact surface will be reduced, from the perspective of physics, the same quality of the object, only a small contact surface, the friction will become smaller. Friction is small, you can use a small force, turn faster, turn "circle" more.

Second, the knee waist back spine if not upright, then want to turn good is also very difficult. For example, in the "two turn", "side leg turn", if the main leg is not straight, back and chest are not quite, then the power will be broken down, and it is not possible to turn more good. If the knee is not straight, especially in ballet, it will bury the ballet of the kind of straight and pale beauty.

2. How to practice dance skills Quick point turn

First of all, the practice of basic skills. For anyone who learns to dance, basic skills and techniques are essential, but because each person's own conditions are different, different understanding and acceptance of the ability to contact the number of different, so the learning progress will be fast and slow. How can a dancer or actor train their skills better? This requires a scientific training method.

Whether in ballet, classical dance, folk dance, modern dance or contemporary dance can be seen in different rotations - two-position turn, cross-legged turn, whip turn, side-legged turn, flat turn, sucking the leg turn, at the request of the turn and so on. We all go out of our way to see how many spins he/she does, but if we look at it professionally, the quantity and quality are one of the core criteria for judging a dancer's spinning skill level. Needless to say the quantity, what is the quality? That is to say, in the process of rotation, whether the dance posture is standardized, whether the positioning of space is standardized, whether it is stable when stopping, whether there is a fixed posture at the end, and so on. Take the "Swan Lake" in the "Black Swan Dance" of the thirty-two "whip turn," for example, if there is no standardized dance posture, spatial positioning, the stability of the stop and the end of the dance posture, as well as the number of revolutions, how can cause the audience to applaud again and again?

In training, we tend to focus only on the number of "circles", and ignore the fixed posture at the end, and if we put this "circle" in the dance work, how can it "seamlessly" go to the next one? If this "circle" is placed in a dance work, how can it "seamlessly" take the next movement? Dance is about "beauty". It is about fluidity and consistency (according to the traditional way of Chinese and foreign dances, choreographers and audiences are accustomed to ask the dancers to move in a smooth line and the line of the stage scheduling like flowing water). If you can't get to the next movement after the turn, then what is the point of this "circle" in the whole dance?

Therefore.

To practice "spinning" well, we also need to pay attention to the following aspects of training:

A half-toe "stand" is the most important point in the rotation. Only the toes to stand to the maximum, so that the foot and the ground contact surface will be reduced, we from the perspective of physics, the same quality of the object, only a small contact surface, the friction will become smaller. Only when the friction is small, can we use very little energy to turn faster and turn more "circles". If not, we use the whole foot to turn the "two turn", want to turn eight or nine circles that is simply more difficult than heaven. In terms of dance, a great deal of force will be expressed in the face, and dance is about beauty. Before and during the completion of the action, should not show any uneasiness to, but should give a sense of ease and ease and a breath of whole and comfortable. Besides, if you put all your strength into this "circle", how much effort does it take to finish a work? How can there be more energy to express the work of the character thoughts and feelings?

Second, the knee waist back spine if not upright, chest is buckled, then want to turn good is also very difficult. For example, in the "two turn", "side leg turn", if the main leg is not straight, waist and back and chest are not quite, then the power will be broken down. It is also impossible to turn more than one turn. If the knee is not straight, especially in ballet, it will bury the ballet of the kind of quite and pale beauty.

3. What is dance virtuosity

It refers to the dance movements that contain difficult and skillful skills.

Technique generally includes two types of difficult movement process and super stable posture modeling control. The former is a light, thrilling process of jumping, turning, flipping, prancing and crossing, which is high, fast and light; the latter is to show balance skills and control ability in a certain shape, which is tough, slow and stable.

From the above description of the characteristics of human movement and dance movement characteristics of the process, it can be seen that the dance movement is on the basis of human movement, after artistic processing, organization, refinement and beautification of the results. The characteristics of dance movement - the human body rhythmic expressive movements, is the fundamental mark of dance art differentiated from other performing arts, but also the core of the dance elements.

4. Introducing some knowledge of dance

Dance and our lives have a very close relationship.

Early in the morning, in the city's street park, a group of middle-aged and elderly people, some with the drums and gongs in the twisting "rice-planting songs", some follow the rhythmic music dance "disco", there are also people in the beautiful melody of the self-made "Fitness Dance"; in the evening, in the theater you can enjoy the performance of the dance or dance drama works, but also to the ballroom or the gala to go to the dance of the social dance; festivals can be in a number of tourist sites such as parks to lift the strength of the dance, the dance, and so on. During festivals, you can also see folk dance performances around the world in some parks and other tourist attractions, such as the "Garden Flower Show"; if you are interested and in need, you can also go to a variety of dance training classes to learn ballet, folk dance, the national standard dance ...... to improve their own dance skills. In plain words, dance is the art of human movement.

However, this human movement must be refined, organized and beautified human movement - danced human movement. In addition, there are many kinds of art belonging to the category of human movement, such as acrobatics, mime, human sculpture, rhythmic gymnastics and so on.

Therefore, dance is different from other human movement art is the main aspect: it is to dance movement as the main means of artistic expression, focusing on the expression of language and text or other means of artistic expression is difficult to express the view of people's inner deep spiritual world - delicate emotions, profound ideas, distinctive character, and people and nature, people and society, people and people and their own internal conflicts. In addition, it creates vivid dance images that can be perceived by people to express the aesthetic feelings and ideals of dance authors (choreographers and dancers) and to reflect the aesthetic attributes of life. In addition, due to the human body movements without stopping the flow of the characteristics of change, it must be in a certain space (stage or square) and a certain amount of time; and in the dance activities, generally have to have a musical accompaniment, to wear a specific costume, some dance but also to hold a variety of props, if it is performed on the stage, the lights and scenery is also indispensable.

Therefore, it can also be said that dance is a spatial, temporal and comprehensive dynamic modeling art. Dance-Characteristics Art is a large family of human aesthetic activities, and its members are literature, art, music, dance, theater, film, opera, acrobatics and so on.

Each category of art is to reflect social life and the expression of people's thoughts and feelings, but the reflection and expression of art is not a general concept of abstract reflection and expression, but individual concrete image and aesthetic reflection and view. The so-called aesthetic reflection and expression, is the artist according to their own aesthetic interests, aesthetic ideals, social life selection, generalization, processing, and according to the characteristics and laws of art to be creative reflection and view.

In the historical development of society, people have created a variety of forms of art, the main difference between these forms of art is that each has its own material carrier and different means of artistic expression. Literature is the material carrier of language, text; art is the material carrier of paper, canvas, paint, oil, its main means of expression is color, line, composition and modeling; music is the material carrier of sound; the material carrier of the drama is the action of the people on the stage (performance activities), in addition to the dance drama, the main language, singing and action as the main means of expression.

The material carrier of the movie is the people's performance through scientific and technological methods of filming in the film, with the electric light on the screen; the material carrier of the opera is one to two, three people on the stage performance, the main means of expression is to say and sing. Acrobatics and dance have *** with the same material carrier - the human body is the main tool of artistic expression, most acrobatic varieties and dance, as the same as the human body movement, posture modeling and composition changes as the main means of expression.

Acrobatics is also a performing art, the actors also shape certain roles, but it is not like the dance as the focus on the development of the character's emotional process, generally does not have a plot event, but through the high degree of skill performance, showing a generalized bravery, perseverance, wisdom and strength of character. Therefore, acrobatics has more ornamental and entertaining.

The dance movements in the dance works should also have a certain degree of skill, and the dancers should have the ability to jump, rotate, tumble, soften, control and other difficult skills, but the performance of difficult skill movements in the dance works is not an end in itself, but a means to express the character's thoughts and feelings and to shape the character's personality and mental outlook. If, in a dance work, the means as the end, the actor's skill is not to reflect life, the expression of the character's thoughts and feelings as the prerequisite for its existence, or not to the content of the dance from the selection of the appropriate dance movement skills, but to show the actor's mastery of the dance skills to start, then the dance work due to the disconnect between the content and the form, or the lack of artistic integrity, and fall into the failure of the dance work, the actor's skill itself is also a means of expression, but also a means of expression of the character's thoughts and feelings. The dancer's skill itself is reduced to acrobatic skill performance, and lost the basic character of dance art.

Dance - the origin According to art historians, the earliest art produced by human beings is dance. Before ancient mankind produced language, people used movements, gestures and expressions to convey all kinds of information and communicate their feelings and thoughts.

Later, after the development of various sounds into language and tones, poetry and music were produced. In the course of labor, the human hand gradually became dexterous in the manufacture of tools, and painting and sculpture were born.

With the evolution of mankind, the ability to think and understand the level of things to improve, music, novels, theater and other arts have been created. So, dance, as one of the oldest arts, where does its origin come from? Our ancient and ancient Greek myths and legends say that human beings learned the dance from the emperor of heaven, or human beings were inspired by the goddess in charge of the dance to create the dance.

We know that the ancient ancestors did not understand the concept of God and man as clearly as modern people do. At that time, people often regarded people with extraordinary talents, people with wisdom and power beyond the average, or people who made great contributions to humanity as the embodiment of God, or people who could communicate with God.

Now, we know that all kinds of gods are created by human beings through imagination based on their own images. It is the gods who create the dance, and ultimately it is we humans who create the dance.

So how did man create dance? Some scholars believe that people by the instinct of imitation, dance is a person with rhythmic movements to a variety of beast movements and habits.

5. Who knows the knowledge of Chinese dance

, leg press: leg press can be divided into three methods of positive pressure, side pressure, back pressure.

The main purpose is to elongate the muscles and ligaments of the legs and increase the range of motion of the hip joint. Methods are as follows: positive pressure: face a support, the front leg lifted and placed on the support, to keep the leg straight; the back leg to support the center of gravity, the toes and the front foot to remain in a straight line, the leg is also straight and relaxed, hands stacked and placed on the front knee, the upper body relaxation is straight (see Figure 1); and the body efforts to vibration pressure downward until the jaw can be next to the toes of the foot for the practice of the place (see Figure 2).

Side pressure: face a support, lift the front leg and place it on the support, keep the leg straight; the back leg supports the center of gravity of the body, the toes of the foot spread outward by 90°, the heel of the foot and the front foot parallel to form a line, and the leg is straight and relaxed, and the body vibrates and presses the side to the direction of the toe of the front foot (see Figure 3); the body has been pressed to the body side and the leg together with the square is practiced in place (see Figure 4). Backward pressure: back to a support, put one foot backward to the support, and then the upper body efforts to backward vibration pressure.

The requirements of the leg press: maintain the correct posture, vibration pressure when the whole body relaxes, in the heart of the silent idea of relaxation, relaxation, and counting; a posture after practicing, it is best to keep the vibration pressure in place posture for about 10 seconds; press the leg in accordance with the principle of gradual progression, can not be pressed at the beginning of the too low it does not matter, slowly can be, do not rush to success. B, splits: splits for flexibility training for the high Governor cone danger? The rule? Listing? The group faded? Vertical split: legs front and back apart into a zigzag, hands on the ground, so that the upper body is straight, and then strive to make the body downward vibration pressure, to the front and back of the two legs apart to a line sitting on the ground as qualified (see Figure 5).

Horizontal Split: separate the legs left and right into a zigzag shape, support the ground with both hands in front of the body, keep the upper body straight, and then press the body downward to separate the legs left and right into a line and sit on the ground as qualified (see Figure 6). Requirements of the split leg: split more gradually, can not be rushed, or easy to hurt the body; practice must relax the limbs, only relax the limbs can be ligament pull open.

C: the internal boxing pull big tendon training method Here I want to introduce you to your practice flexibility rarely used or not used to the internal boxing pull big tendon practice method (the original Chinese martial arts called: "kneading tendon method", we now call the frame big shape undulation), my practice has proved to be very good, on the waist and hip flexibility, upper and lower limbs of the interaction of the body's solidity, the overall strength of the special effects. The effect is special. Method: first draw a straight line on the ground, ① and then the front and back feet separate step into the straight line, the requirements are: front and back feet apart to the limit of the front and back to pull apart, the forefoot in the straight line on the right and parallel to the straight line, the back foot in the straight line on the left, the heel of the foot and the straight line into the angle of 90 ° or so; ② squatting as a whole after the sit, the body to maintain the balance of the center of gravity, arms in front of the body in the form of a holding ball (this action is only auxiliary, no special requirements, the key is the lower limbs), the front knee, the back knee cross, the back knee, the back knee, the back knee, the back knee, the back knee, the front knee, the back knee, the back knee, the back knee, the back knee. Front knee front top, back knee horizontal open, and have the intention of pulling back, so that the crotch and knees in a straight line; (see Figure 7a \ b) ③ do a good job on the posture, through the waist and hips of the force of the whole body to the ground to sit down, in order to ensure that the overall strength of the case, until it can not be down (see Figure 8), and then after the crotch of the force of the destruction of the body to move forward, at this time not to bring up the center of gravity (see Figure 9) and finally to be crotch forward to can not continue to move forward and then put the crotch forward To not be able to continue to move forward when the center of gravity and the knees into a straight line, that is, restored to the start (see Figure 7) so repeatedly practiced.

(and can be interchanged left and right) Technical requirements: action to breathe naturally, do not intentionally deepen the breath; action always keep the frame of large unchanged (the key); action should be particularly important quality, do not because of the number of times and ignored the quality of the guarantee. The above systematic introduction of flexibility training, the following talk about flexibility training points and theories.

First: the time to practice flexibility is best to choose in the afternoon, not in the morning after running hard to practice flexibility, because people just get up in the morning, the joints of all parts of the body have not been active, even after running will not be a good activity for the body (for the practice of flexibility). Because the afternoon or evening is a person in the daytime activities of the body, no matter which part of the body are relatively active, and body temperature also rises, because the higher the body temperature practice flexibility will be the faster the effect, there is also a point why the morning after running is not also excessive practice flexibility, because after running, the general wear and tear of the physical strength is also relatively large, and a large amount of wear and tear of the physical strength of the body after practicing flexibility is also unscientific, because of the body fatigue, muscle motor function will decline. The muscle function will decline a lot.

Secondly, when practicing flexibility, it is best to master the three auxiliary methods, that is, static consumption, spiritual ideas, and help to press the leg. For the static consumption and the idea of the previous have been said, here to say what is to help press the leg, to help press the leg is to say a person in a long time to practice ineffective (this may be mainly due to the practitioner's method is not appropriate or fear of suffering caused by) in the case of a helper to assist you in practicing, the method is: for example, when practicing the horizontal cleave, you can let the assistant hard to hold down your knees to help to the downward pressure to be more than a person practicing the effect of a good, but it should be borne in mind that But it is important to remember that you should not joke around when practicing, in order to prevent injury.

Third: when practicing flexibility, you must press the leg (split) with the kicking exercise will have a better effect. Boxing proverb: "only pressure does not slip is not useful, only slip does not pressure stupid as a cow.

It can be seen that the pressure and kicking is very important. Fourth: before practicing flexibility must be fully active whole body, so that the body heat and then press the leg, in the process of pressure to be at the same time and static consumption, spiritual ideas, only this can be more better to improve the effect of the exercise.

6. What are the key points of the dance technique swing side turn

One foot toes into 45 degrees, close to the thigh of the other foot, hand swing.

This is the main. Learning can be done in this way: swing side turn is generally the first from the soles of the feet of the power to start practicing suction leg standing half toes, if you have the basis of other turns (such as five position turn, four position turn, etc.), then the first in the handle stem to practice the decomposition of the swing side turn, with one leg as the main leg, the other leg straight lifted to 90 degrees in the air from the front to the side of the paddle, at the same time the main leg squatting.

When the power leg is backward, the main leg is standing on the half-toe, and when it turns to the back, the thigh of the power leg stays still, and the calf bends back to the knee nest of the main leg, forming the state of the back-sucking leg, and finally when it turns back to the front, the power leg turns into the state of the front-sucking leg, and the power leg is at the knee of the main leg. This process needs to be understood by yourself, and it is better if you have a teacher to take you.

Most of the ballet skills and Chinese dance skills are almost the same, only the Chinese dance focuses on the whole body (such as inverted kick Zijin Guan, string turn over, etc.), ballet is more focused on the power of the legs.

Depends on what kind of skills you want to learn. I learned a period of time, practiced practice, think trouble dead, did not learn, you practice ah .......
