Do not miss the details. At this stage, the more like the dancer, the better. In the eyes of the learner dancer, the object of imitation is clear and magnified.
1,2 When the learner dancers gradually mastered the dance movements and body rhythms, they began to feel the beauty of the dance, and at the same time, the object of imitation (the dancer) began to fade, and they thought about how to do the movement could be better expressed, and properly integrated into their own style, and tried to make their own movements to achieve (in their own opinion) the perfect situation. In other words, different people can dance the same dance in different styles.

3, 3 more to participate in the performance, the field experience, feeling, heart experience, summarize is very necessary. Because other people's feelings, experience may not be suitable for everyone, must be their own "realization", in order to improve.
Wa Dance
Black skin, men and women with long hair, men wearing black clothes and black pants, women wearing colorful ethnic costumes, dancing in the sound of wooden drums.
On August 15, in the scenic area of the Pujiang Shenli Gorge, a group of special guests where they showed their beautiful silhouettes. They are the Wa ethnic group belonging to the Wa Benglong branch of the Mon-Khmer language family of the South Asian language family, and they also brought their unique dance - the Wa dance.
The Wa, mainly located in Ximeng, Canyuan, Menglian and other places in the southwest of Yunnan Province, is one of the less populated ethnic groups in China. It is one of the "Pu" people in the ancient south, and has a close relationship with the Brown and De'ang tribes since ancient times, making it a relatively mysterious ethnic group. In the past, the Wa living in different areas had their own names, such as "Wa" in the area of Zhenkang and Yongde in Yunnan; "Ba Rao" and "Burao" in the area of Gengma, Shuangjiang and Cangyuan; and "Ximeng" and "Menglian" in the area of Menglian, The Wa ancestors around Ximeng and Menglian also called themselves "A Wa" and "Le Wa". It was not until after the liberation that they were collectively called "Wa".
An A Wa performing in the Shenli Gorge said that the "wooden drum" is the "wooden groove" that saved the ancestor of the tribe, the embodiment of the strong mother, and the soul of the "Muyi Ji", the place where all things flourish. It is also the dwelling place of the soul of "Muyigi", and has become a heavenly instrument for the prosperity and growth of all things. Therefore, the Wooden Drum Drum Drum, which expresses in the form of dance the process of making the wooden drums and the final process of striking the wooden drums to communicate with the gods and achieve the purpose of heavenly blessings, is an indispensable dance in the ritual activities. With the progress of the times, the Wa people, in order to further enrich the Wooden Drum Drum Dance in terms of form and dance vocabulary, have added the Wa women's "hair flinging" maneuver to the dance, so that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, all of them have a head of long, black and shiny hair. The Wa people are proud of their black skin color, and both men and women, young and old, are proud of their dark skin. In order to make the hair flip dance more beautiful. The Hair Shake Dance is a self-indulgent dance. Unlike other dances, it is not danced during the plagiarized cow ritual, after the death of an old man, when a new house is built, or during a wedding celebration. And in other seasons, any occasion can jump this dance.
This time, we saw that they were dancing the Hair Shake Dance to welcome guests from afar. They wore their own ethnic unique features of the costume, the first beat right foot to the right diagonal front step, hands bent elbow raised to the head diagonally above, the body back; the second beat left foot step, hands thrown to the back diagonally below, the body leaning forward. This is repeated, with regular and smooth movements. The dance is accompanied by the drummer's singing and the crowd's singing, and then rhythmically flinging their long hair, which is so flowing under their flinging, and the sound of the wooden drums and the occasional singing and cheering.
It was as if people had come to the hometown of Wa, and felt the warmth and hospitality of Wa people to their guests. The front fling, the back fling, the left and right fling, which is dashing and beautiful, better expresses the bold and bright character of Wa women, and strongly expresses the pure and simple native emotion of Wa people and the national spirit of "seeking survival and development".
In addition to the Wooden Drum Dance, the Wa also have 12 other dances: the Mourning Dance, the U-stick Dance, the Ramuqiao Dance, the Knife Dance, the Three-string Dance, the Bee-barrel Drum Dance, the Beat Song, the Bisong Dance, the Jumping Pendulum, the Song and Dance without Music Accompaniment, the Lusheng Dance and the Bee-barrel Drum Dance. These dances have the factors of exchange and reference with the surrounding Dai, Yi and other ethnic groups, and over the years, through the integration and absorption of the Wa people, they have taken on the characteristics of Wa dances, and have also become the favorite, self-indulgent folk dances of the Wa people.
