Basic Action Training Methods of Jazz Dance
1, head training:
The direction is divided into four parts: front, back, left and right, and all the rhythms of the head should be as big as possible. In front (that is, nodding), try to let your chin touch your collarbone. In the back, keep your head parallel to the ceiling. Let your head point to your shoulder as far as possible when you are left, and the same is true when you are right. Head strength training must throw all the hair completely, and the fixed point should be clean and refreshing. Through the training of front left and rear right, front right and rear left, finally relax and let the head turn in the same direction. You can find some rhythmic music to play when practicing.
2. Shoulder training:
Divide the shoulder movements into four positions: up, front, down and back, and each position is the limit position of one's own ability. Relax, stand with your feet shoulder width apart, and start the exercise with four beats as a cycle. 1, push up the left shoulder and press down the right shoulder. At this time, the chest is in a natural state, and it does not lean forward and does not contain the back. At 2 o'clock, the shoulders are backward, and the chest will naturally move forward. At 3 o'clock, lift the right shoulder and press the left shoulder, and the chest is in a natural state. 4 o'clock, shoulders forward at the same time, including chest. Similarly, in the opposite direction, at 1, push up the right shoulder and press down the left shoulder. 2 o'clock, shoulders back, chest out. At 3 o'clock, the left shoulder is pushed up and the right shoulder is pressed down. 4 o'clock, shoulders forward, including chest.
The amplitude of each movement should be maximized. It may feel awkward at first. After practice, the movements will be very coherent and can be completed with one shot. But even if you are proficient, you should make every position clear and have enough scope to play the role of exercise.
3, arm training:
Arms must be straight, fast and powerful! The elbows of both hands are positioned in parallel in the air, slightly lower than the shoulders 10 cm, and the arms rotate. At the beginning, the hands are reversed and the rotation speed is the same. The key is that the position of elbows in the air cannot be changed, so the practice method is very effective. Pay attention to tighten all the arm muscles, including the forearm and fingers, maintain the strength of the arm and tighten the body. Keep still when I touch you or push you casually. No matter what state your fingers are in, you must feel infinitely stretched, which proves that your fingers and body are tightened in place.
4, chest exercises:
First, stand in a good posture, move your chest forward, left, back and right, so that only your chest is moving, and then turn around according to these four points, and connect them to speed up and become a circle. To be more specific, start with the chest and push it out hard. You can imagine that your chest should not touch the thing in front, and be careful not to carry it forward. Chest retraction (including chest extension) is to shrink the chest to the point where it can no longer be shrunk. You can imagine that you have a fist on your chest. You should hide back and remember that your body should not move with it. The easiest way to move your chest left and right is for beginners to open their hands and keep their arms straight left and right.
Move your chest left and right with parallel arms. Don't move with your body. Imagine that your body and your chest are separate. Just like moving your chest to the left, imagine moving it to the left to get enough space. Moving your chest to the right is to imagine you reaching for something on the right. With more practice, we will be able to use it freely. Then, we can draw a circle with the chest in front, left and right order and turn the chest here. Turn left for a while, then turn right in the opposite direction.
5, waist strength training:
You can start by practicing sit-ups and hula hoops. Then on the basis of practicing rhythm, add four directions: front, left, back and right. The action range should be large, mainly to practice the strength of the left and right sides. If you don't know the rhythm, practice on the basis of "horse stance just look", and follow the rhythm of music in four directions in turn. Don't bend your legs, but move your waist greatly. After the movement is in place, the waist of the first practitioner, especially the left and right sides, will be very tired, so stick to it. In addition, you can practice your back more and your waist is soft.
6. Hip-twisting in jazz dance:
First of all, we must learn to cross in four directions: forward, left, backward and right. First of all, stand firm and stand up. Push the stride forward in front, push the hips backward in the back, and push the stride left and right. Among them, the sequence of crossing should be: front, left, back and right. First slowly hit eight times in four directions, then gradually increase the speed, and then hit in one direction. As long as you connect the front, back, left and right points with a cross section and keep exercising every day, you will soon improve.
7, jazz dance leg movements:
Leg movements are very important, and jumping will show passion between advance and retreat, before kicking, after lifting. First of all, leg press, there are several points to pay attention to: leg press should not push too hard, leg press should move slowly, usually for 3-5 minutes at a time, and it is best to do some kicking exercises to relax and adjust after leg press. Leg exercises include cross-legged squat exercises, keeping the back upright, and leg-splitting routines, including hip front and back. The taboo of leg movement is that the legs are too close together, the ligaments are not opened, and then the leg muscles are not tightened. The effect is that the action is very soft and there is no strength.
