Cowboy dance originated in the United States, is a kind of dance called "jitterbug" development, cowboy dance eliminated "jitterbug" in all the difficult movements, add some skills. The earliest record of Cowboy Dance is a book published in Europe in 1944 by Victor Silvester, a dance teacher in London, who introduced Cowboy Dance. Pop, rock and roll, and American swing have all had some influence on cowboy dancing. Cowboy dance is a fast-paced, physical dance. The reason why the cowboy dance is placed at the end of the competition is because the contestants have to make the audience feel that they are not tired after the first four dances and that they are ready to take on a new challenge. Two different styles of dancing
In China, cowboys are taught in two distinctly different styles, with very different techniques and a completely different feel. This is Latin dance than an earlier stage of the more valued skills,
hanging a stick, swaying from side to side, adding a little leg bounce. Many competitors in the West, on the other hand, pay more attention to the height of the bounce and a sense of speed, which requires the dancer to show great body control, in terms of speed and amplitude, so that the cowboys will look more upbeat and quick. This is one of the more revered styles
When it comes to which method is more suitable for amateur learners, I think the first, earlier, increased swing is probably more popular. However, when physical strength permits, the second method can be used when practicing the basic steps, which will give a quick boost to physical strength and will effectively reduce fat and make one's body lighter. And the music is a little slow to increase the expressive power, at this time you can increase the swing, that is to say, a combination of the two ways. 1, Burning Cowboy Dance Routine
