The slow three is a three-step, three-step, as the name implies, that is, there are three beats in each bar. Its accent is on the first beat, the last two beats are weak, and the rhythm is "strong, weak, weak". As we said, after a man invites his female partner to dance, the male partner moves forward with his left foot, and the female partner moves back with her right foot, so in the slow three, for the man, the accent in the first bar is on the left foot, and the accent in the second bar is changed to the right foot, and then it is rotated between the left and right feet. The same is true for the female partner, where the accent is on the right foot in the first measure, then switches to the left foot in the second measure, and so on. This is a very distinct difference from the slow four.
The simplest step in Slow 3 is the straight step, which beginners often think of as a dance, so they don't know where to put their feet, but in fact it's almost the same as walking, only with the addition of understanding of the music. For the slow three, we say that the first beat of the heavy beat step to be bigger, two or three beats for the weak beat, step as an adjustment.
Men's feet should be straight forward, some beginners are afraid of stepping on the female partner's feet, footsteps to the side, that is, not in line with the slow three jumping, but also does not look good.
Slow three in the inner rotation is also one of the basic steps, men and women dance steps are the same, but the male partner first out of the left foot, the female partner first back right foot. First female partner side step right foot, male partner left foot in the female partner between the two feet, at this time, the male partner to the left foot as the axis, female partner to the right foot as the axis, after 180 degrees of rotation, male partner back right foot, female partner forward left foot, this is the second beat. On the last beat, the male partner steps back with his left foot and is on the left side of the right foot, the female partner advances with her right foot and is on the right side of the left foot, and the two dance in a closed position. Note, after 180 degrees of rotation, in order to maintain the direction of the dance line, the male partner should be back in the future dance, if you want to restore, and then rotate 180 degrees. At this point, the male partner should step back with the right foot, and the female partner should step forward with the left foot. ....
Same as before. The basic step is actually very simple, all the patterns are evolved from the basic step, master the basic step in order to better master more patterns. Of course, these are just words on paper, we still need to work more with? Dance? The first thing you need to do is to get a good grasp of the basics and then you can master more patterns.
The fast three is the most difficult to dance, fast three dance good or bad or not, shows a person dancing social dance level. The fast three belongs to the three steps, naturally three beats a bar, the emphasis on the first beat.
But because it is a fast three, it means that its rhythm is much faster than the slow three. Fast three dance posture and slow three slightly different, the original boy's right hand in the girl's left shoulder blade below, in the dance after the fast three, the right hand can be slightly moved to the left rear, probably to the center of the girl's spine. The male and female dancers should not be too far apart. This is because most of the time in the dance of the fast three is in the rapid rotation, this dance posture is easy for the boy to force the girl to rotate.
The pace of the fast three is very simple, commonly used only in the inner rotation, although the dance method is the same as the slow three, but because the rhythm of the fast three is much faster than the slow three, so if it is still the same as the slow three, with three beats jump three steps to complete the movement is not able to keep up with the rhythm. Therefore, in the fast three, we say three steps together as two, which is the main center of gravity of the movement.
First of all, the boy out of the left foot in the girl between the two feet, the boy slightly raised the right foot, center of gravity in the left foot, the girl slightly raised the left foot, center of gravity in the right foot. The boy takes the left foot as the axis, the girl takes the right foot as the axis, and rotates 180 degrees counterclockwise, at this time the center of gravity remains unchanged, the boy's right foot and the girl's left foot are next to their other foot, the toes are on the ground, but do not support the body, the boy's center of gravity is still on the left foot, and the girl's center of gravity is still on the right foot, so that completes one bar. In the next bar, the boy steps back on the right foot, the girl steps forward on the left foot, the same as in the same bar. As you can see, the fast three dance method is relatively simple, but the rapid rotation, which determines that it is a difficult dance, but as long as more practice, is not difficult to master. The fast three in the national standard is called the Vienna waltz, is a bar of three steps, but the dance method is slightly different from the slow three
The rhythm of the slow four is four beats to a bar, and its accent is the one, three beats, or is the first beat. Unlike Slow 3, where the accent is on the first beat and rotates between the left and right feet because it's an odd-numbered beat, Slow 4's accent is always on the left because it's an even-numbered beat.
Of course, this is for boys, the girl's accent is always on the right The slow four dance method is the most basic two kinds of dance, one is to jump at equal intervals, the other is the two slow two fast dance method, no matter which kind of dance method, we have to follow certain principles. Slow four is a kind of slow rhythmic dance, the performance should be calm and graceful. Unlike the slow three, the undulation of the slow four is not obvious, so to speak, and four beats to a bar. For rotation, it is obviously more fluid than the slow three. Overall, slow four is much easier to dance than slow three.
So, there are always more slow fours than slow threes at the ballroom. When the slow four of the dance is slower, we can use equal interval dance method, according to the rhythm of the dance, four beats a bar, each beat step. As for the dance posture and so on, it is the same as the slow three. When walking straight, the first two beats can be slightly larger, and the last two beats can be adjusted. Note that for boys, the accent is always on the left foot (girls on the right). When the tempo of the dance music is a little fast, you can use two slow and two fast dance method, that is, "slow - slow - fast - fast". The slow beat contains two beats of the song and the fast beat contains one beat. In this way, a bar actually contains six beats. Beginners can dance the first slow four, easy to learn, good dance. Of course, the second way of dancing has a strong sense of rhythm and more patterns.
