Slow three belongs to three steps, three steps, thinking about the name and meaning, that is, each bar has three beats. Its stress is weak in the first beat and the last two beats, and its rhythm is "strong, weak and weak".
After the man invited his female companion, he posed for dancing. The male partner's left foot stretches forward and the female partner's right foot retreats. Therefore, in slow three, for men, the stress in the first bar is on the left foot, and the stress in the second bar is changed to the right foot. Later, the left and right feet were forced to rotate. For a female partner, the stress in the first section is on his right foot, the stress in the second section is changed to his left foot, and then he rotates. This is very different from Slow Four. Slow three
Beginners often think it's dancing and don't know where to put their feet. Actually, it's similar to walking, only with an understanding of music. For slow three, we say the first beat, that is, the second beat is bigger, the second beat and the third beat are weaker, and the pace should be adjusted. Men should straighten their feet forward. Some beginners are afraid of stepping on their female companions' feet and walking sideways, which is inconsistent with slow three's jumping method. Ugly again. In fact, as long as both men and women move forward or backward at the same time according to the rhythm of music, they will not step on each other's feet. Internal rotation is also one of the basic steps in Slow No.3 Middle School. The male dance steps are the same, except that the male partner moves his left foot first and the female partner moves his right foot first.
First, the female dancer takes back her right foot, and the male partner leaves her left foot between her feet. At this time, the male partner takes the left foot as the axis and the female partner takes the right foot as the axis. After rotating 180 degrees, the male partner's right foot retreats and the female partner's left foot advances. This is the second beat. At the last beat, the male partner's left foot retreated, on the left side of his right foot, the female partner's right foot moved forward, and on the right side of his left foot, their dance became a closed posture. After rotating 180 degrees, in order to keep the direction of the dance line, the male partner should retreat in the future dance, and if he wants to recover, he should rotate 180 degrees again. At this time, the male partner should retreat with his right foot, and the female partner should move forward with his left foot ... as before.
The basic dance structure of slow three's dance steps is a basic cycle consisting of three steps: forward (or backward), lateral movement and foot merging. In this way, the first cycle and the second cycle will inevitably change feet.
This is the first obstacle that beginners must solve. In practice, we should gradually develop the concept of changing the center of gravity between our feet in turn. Even in the step of merging feet, the time for the center of gravity to fall on both feet is extremely short. It is just a special form of exchanging the center of gravity. This special form is to create a "form of exchanging the center of gravity without revealing traces". But the subjective intention of changing feet has not changed at all. As long as we keep this intention developing, we can easily overcome this obstacle.
The second problem is the movement procedure and method of heel, sole and toe. The basic walking modes have been introduced before, and the problem now is how to deal with their relationship in the lift. Whether it's forward or backward,
After the first step of center of gravity transfer is completed, the center of gravity should be moved to the forefoot. Although the knees are not straight at this time, the heels should be slightly off the ground. The driving force of the second step is the sole thrust caused by the distance between the feet and the ground.
The second step of lateral movement is a special form of walking. It is similar to landing on the forefoot of the whole foot, accompanied by reverse inclination (that is, right when moving sideways to the left and left when moving sideways to the right). In addition, it should be noted that the foot-merging action does not start from the third beat, but is accompanied by the lifting and tilting of the body in the second half of the second beat. Start to develop (* together) together. At this time, the center of gravity is completely in the first half of the transverse foot.
The combined foot of the third beat is in place without the center of gravity at all. Until the first half of the third beat, the center of gravity is still rising in the forefoot of the horizontal foot. Until the limit state, the combined foot begins to support the center of gravity without showing traces. This state of the center of gravity of both feet is only a moment's performance. From the second half of the third beat, the heel began to fall, and the center of gravity of the fall was mainly supported by the feet together. In other words, the sole of the horizontal foot completes the task of supporting the center of gravity and pushing the heel upward, while the center of gravity of the lower foot falls on the sole of the foot together. The turning point of rising and falling is to exchange time without exposing the center of gravity. These requirements are too difficult for beginners. But if you want to dance beautifully, this second obstacle must also be crossed.
The third obstacle is sideways and leaning. Tilting is achieved through the extension of lateral movement, that is, shoulder guidance. A little deeper, this series of upper body movements are all produced by the strength of the waist, not a single movement of a certain part. Although this is the highest level requirement, it must be noted from the beginning. Otherwise, once the problem of local force is formed, it will not be easy to correct it.
The above three obstacles can be flexibly grasped according to their own specific conditions.
Beginners with poor foundation can solve them one by one when practicing the basic steps; Social dance lovers with a certain foundation can use these norms to improve their technical ability; If you are an ardent lover of self-entertainment ballroom dancing and are too lazy to spend time and energy in this respect, you can completely ignore the latter two problems after crossing the first obstacle without affecting your continued study. However, when your dancing skills have developed to a considerable extent, you will be interested in these things. It won't prevent you from practicing from the beginning.
