1. Dance program line, angle and direction .
On a dance floor, if you don't follow the prescribed line of travel to dance ballroom dancing, you are bound to collide with each other and disorder. Therefore, the national standard dance strictly stipulates that the dancers must move forward in the direction of counterclockwise. This line of march is called the dance line. In the line of dance, the long two are called A line, the short two are called B line.
National Standard Dance has strict rules for the orientation of each step in a combination or routine at the beginning and end of the dance, as well as the direction of the transport step and the angle of rotation.
Take the rotation, the direction is divided into left and right, and the angle is divided into 45 degrees (1/8 week), 90 degrees (1/4 week), 135 degrees (3/8 week), 180 degrees (1/2 week), 225 degrees (5/8 week), 270 degrees (3/4 week), 315 degrees (7/8 week), 360 degrees (1 week) from small to large.
The provisions of the orientation, most of the male partner is assumed to stand in the center of the dance tow, facing the band, and the center of the bandstand as the benchmark, set as "1 point", and then the male partner every 45 degrees to the right of the point, in turn, set as "2 points", "3 points Then the point to which the male partner turns 45 degrees to the right is designated in turn as "2 o'clock", "3 o'clock", "4 o'clock", "5 o'clock", "6 o'clock", "7 o'clock", "8 o'clock".
When dancing GB, the dancers march or rotate according to the line of the dance program, and their changes in angle and orientation are associated with the line of the dance program. Therefore, the national standard dance to the male partner to face the direction of the dance line as a benchmark, the direction of the dance steps provided for eight lines: (1) the male partner is facing the dance line; (2) the male partner's right shoulder to the right 90 degrees to the four walls (refers to stand in the dance line at any point in terms of the line), known as the wall line; (3) the male partner's left shoulder to the left to the center of the dance floor 90 degrees to the center of the dance floor, known as the central line; (4) the male partner's right front that is, the direction of the wall line after a 45 degree right turn 45 degrees toward the wall line is called the wall diagonal; (5) the male partner's left front, i.e., the direction after a 45-degree left turn toward the center line is called the central diagonal; (6) the male partner's back is toward the reverse dance line; (7) the male partner's right rear, i.e., the direction after a 135-degree right turn, is tilted in the opposite direction toward the wall line is called the reverse wall diagonal; and (8) the male partner's left rear, i.e., the direction after a 135-degree left turn is tilted toward the center in the opposite direction, is called the reverse central diagonal. The center diagonal is called the counter wall diagonal. As long as the dancers march along the line of dance, no matter to which point they march, they can distinguish the orientation and angle according to the above eight lines.

2. social dance teaching: learning to dance social dance etiquette common sense
The basic etiquette of social dance is probably these:
Into the dance floor, must pay attention to dress, grooming, reflecting the good upbringing and respect for others.
Once a man is invited, a woman should generally accept the invitation.
Once you accept the invitation, if there are no special circumstances, or the other party shows intolerable movements, you must finish a song. It is very rude to leave someone on the dance floor and walk away just because you are tired or not satisfied with their dancing skills.
Dance to the "line", don't go against the crowd's flow and interfere with others' dancing. The "line" refers to the route of the dance, and for most fluid dances, such as waltzes and quicksteps, the line is counterclockwise around the entire dance floor.
When there are more people on the dance floor, you should pay attention to avoiding others, especially men to protect women from being bumped into; when the men are backing up, the women should pay attention to the men not to be bumped into. The speed of traveling and spinning should not be too fast, it is easy to get out of danger.
On the dance floor, men should be "gentle and lead", and the strength should not be too big and too strong; both sides should keep their own center of gravity, and should not rely on each other to maintain the center of gravity. Men to give the frame must be gentle and comfortable, women should always pay attention to maintain the center of gravity, the two sides of the body fit the degree and level accordingly.
At the beginning of the dance, the relatively low level of the best and the other side humbly said "I dance is not good, please forgive me" or "I am a beginner, please teach me more". If you are relatively advanced, don't frustrate your partner by doing difficult steps. If they don't know the steps, just do the basics and remind the newcomer how to dance in a whisper.
Even if you are not a newcomer to the dance, you should not play the difficult steps, but start with the simple ones, and if you find that you are good at it, you can gradually increase the difficulty, step by step.
If you are in a situation where you need to stop, you can stop at the edge of the dance floor, and don't stay on the dance floor and obstruct other people's dancing.
Social dancing can be appropriate conversation in the process of dancing, but social dancing is, after all, the use of dance communication, do not dance while talking non-stop, not to mention in the case of the other side do not need to endlessly guide each other how to dance.
The ballroom is not a stage, and no one has the right to hinder others from dancing, let alone the obligation to perform and show off. Big moves, fast speeds and exaggerated mannerisms are not desirable and will be considered rude.
After a dance, the two sides to thank the gift: men take women spinning upward in a circle, bending down to thank, women should also be slightly down to thank. The newcomer should especially thank the old man. Then the man leads the woman back to her original place, if she has a companion, but also to the companion to thank.
The ballroom is a public **** occasion, even if a pair of lovers, do not in the ballroom, I love each other.
3. Seek: the basics of ballroom dancing
The ballroom dancing is mainly imported from the West, and in the process of spreading in China, it is constantly developing and evolving, which is a popularization
and nationalization process. Therefore, even in China, the types of ballroom dancing and the same kind of dancing are not the same, there
are obvious regional differences. For example, the northern ballroom dance is relatively atmospheric and bold; while the southern ballroom
dance is relatively small and fancy, full of spirit.
Also, there are many variants with regional characteristics evolved from the social dance, such as Beijing Ping Si in Beijing, Nanjing
small pull dance (and four, roughly the type of jitterbug), Tianjin's pull and (also the type of jitterbug), and so on, which have formed
a distinctive style of their own, and accepted by the general public and familiar with it.
In Changchun, the specialty is Changchun's jitterbug and slow four (blues), which not only have their own styles and characteristics, but also in the country
are leading.
Although the dance is not the same everywhere, but the basic knowledge and the essentials of the dance is the same, the dance, of course, there is a dance
*** the same internal rules and techniques, not to mention the same is the dance?
These days, we will tell you these basic knowledge and essentials, so that through these days of learning, you can not only
to dance, and can go to all parts of the country and even the world to dance.
The social dance, also known as the social dance, as the name suggests, has a communicative function. Dance itself is a language, through the male and female dance
partner's tacit cooperation, dance like clouds like the moon, or strong, or soothing, or implicit, or unrestrained, or steady, or tender, will
to each other and the audience to enjoy the beauty of the people, people are relaxed and happy, is the effective way of making friends.
This is an effective way to make friends. And this kind of social skills will be with
you for the rest of your life.
And, social dance has a strong fitness and bodybuilding function. It can be said that the vast majority of people can not run 10,000 meters, but a dancer
a dance down, almost do 10,000 meters of aerobic exercise; and, in the process of dancing, your feet, legs,
waist, abdomen, chest, upper limbs, head will be mobilized, fitness is very comprehensive, is generally incomparable to the sports program.
The effect of bodybuilding is also obvious, due to the requirement to lift the buttocks and stomach head, dancing good people, the posture is very upright, there is a "paradigm",
temperament and the ordinary people is significantly different.
Dancing good social dance, generally about the need for several stages:
First, will dance: can go with the music, can take the MM with the music, or follow the GG with the music.
Second, there is a certain sense of dance: dancing from the step stage to pay attention to the rhythm, there are some leaps and bounds.
In the eyes of myself and others
, this dance is a bit like a dance.
(The above is the introductory stage.)
Third, observe the dance of the masters, learn from the masters, learn the patterns, learn the basics, and are not satisfied with a simple walk, the dance
out of the dance is better.
Fourth, pay attention to the posture and frame: as much as possible to have some sense of beauty, as much as possible to move correctly and pay attention to the balance, as much as possible to lead and follow the dance more smoothly
and pay attention to the cooperation between the two people.
(The above is the primary stage)
Fifth, practice the basic skills, learn and maintain the correct frame and body line, and be able to fix the frame, as well as mastering a variety of dance footwork
Methods and techniques, and be able to understand some of the inherent rules of the ballroom dance.
(The above is the intermediate stage)
Sixth, move freely, know the correct swing, reverse and tilt skills, and be able to skillfully transition to a variety of shapes.
Seventh, whether it is the lead dancer or the dancers, can skillfully lead and cooperate with the partner's dance, and in the dance has the "model
child", the dance posture is beautiful, cooperate with the tacit understanding, and can give the other party and the audience the enjoyment of beauty.
(The above is the advanced stage)
Seventh, on the basis of mastering a lot of knowledge, techniques and skills, they can make up and create a series of patterns suitable for themselves and their regular partners according to the characteristics and styles of various kinds of dances, the rhythms and the rules,
borrowing from other kinds of dances and other masters' patterns.
4. What to pay attention to the female step in ballroom dancing
1, pay attention to cultivate your fingers and wrist to the lady's hint and lead. In the social dance is not each dance each, women should absolutely obey the men's lead, many men in the dance, lead and hints are obviously not enough, so that women understand the confusion, completely dance by guessing, haha. This dance has a lot of tricks, and it's easy to bump into one another if you don't have a good lead and hint.
2, men lead women to rotate, men's wrists should be higher than the top of the head of the woman, so that the woman is very easy to turn around, the first women to use the axis of rotation, that is, after the foot, the two feet rotate at the same time, so that the jump is relatively sharp and beautiful, not dragging mud and water. The second rotation must be turned round, do not turn blindly, a turn does not know where to go, so that the men look for people everywhere. The last rotation should be around the men, turn to the last place not too far away from the men, because there are too many tricks, you may turn to turn back, in the dance, you turn too far away from the men, and then turn back to be not so easy. Men should turn straight and smooth to make the girl comfortable, the best way is to think of yourself as a pole, do not give the lady force, but the direction of the lady, to give her a support that she can rely on. Relative to the lady, you are the axis of the dance, simply put, you as you are a pillar on the line.
3, jump pattern to one by one, do not eat a fat. One-handed flower from the basic one-handed flower to hand flower, staggered flower, a basic flower a basic flower step to learn to dance is a kind of thinking and logic system, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex, you will slowly master, and then familiar with the heart, familiarity begets mastery, from the similarity of the shape of the jump to the similarity of the gods, the meaning of the dance of the Ping Si completely out of the play. Beijing Ping Si does not have a prescribed routine, from where to start can be, from where the end is also OK, requiring dancers to choose the appropriate pattern according to different styles of dance music, in the moment according to its basic rules of improvisation, random combinations.
4, the problem of style, the same dance music, the same dance pattern, different people are not the same jump, is not the standard action? More is that everyone's style and feeling is not the same. So everyone, in learning to develop their own unique style and temperament, everyone's innate character, acquired education is different, so the feeling and interpretation of the dance will be different. Ms. Yang dances very well, but I personally think that some of Ms. Yang's movements are too soft, and her facial expression is a little bit feminine, not masculine enough, and her manliness is not quite enough. Then in my dance style, I pay more attention to the style of masculine, handsome, with Latin style, in Ping Si fused with a lot of Latin things and the basic steps of samba. I hope that everyone in the study, the first from Mr. Yang Yi to learn, wait until the study is almost, you can go through their own feelings to experience the fusion of this dance, standing on the shoulders of giants, you will also be original dance style of your own, to become a generation of masters of the dance world.
5. The most basic precautions for social dance
The basic requirements for learning the basic requirements of social dance For beginners need to pay attention to the standardization of movement from the beginning of the study, otherwise, it is not too good to change the habit, to introduce my humble opinion, for reference: 1, men and women in the standing time, to chest and abdomen; head up top, shoulders down.
2, men's and women's basic movements, are the power of the waist to drive the body to move, and is the back of the legs to make efforts to drive to the waist as the center of the body, to drive the front of the legs to move. In layman's terms: dancing is the back of the legs to force the body to stir out, and walking is the front of the legs first stepped out.
3, the main characteristics of the basic movements: the mouth (or rather, the chin) position is always perpendicular to the forefoot, only when jumping to a certain level, do some more complex movements, when the center of gravity movement will appear a variety of changes. 4, with the ladies, up to lift the lady's hand should be raised a little higher, the lady is easier to rotate, belonging to the men's hands to do the action, then the other hand down slightly lower than the lady's waist, in which case the lady is more comfortable when rotating.
5, first walk the basic steps, gradually increase some common flower step, after the movement is skilled, and then add some typical modeling action, meaning do not rush to progress step by step. Whether or not the social dance is more beautiful, the main action is standardized, step accurate, not necessarily how much action, how many steps, men and women feel good about themselves, the onlookers also feel good on it, in the wonderful music, both exercise, but also cultivate sentiment, which is also a kind of enjoyment.
