1, the basic element of cha-cha applies horizontal step (merging step).
When preparing, put your feet and ankles together, naturally tighten your leg muscles and open your hands. Take a small step to the left with your left foot. At the same time, your left leg bends, your left toe touches the ground, your knees and ankles are closed and buckled inward, your crotch is opened to the right, and your right body is pulled up and upright, with your center of gravity on your right foot and your right foot touching the ground.
Straighten the left leg quickly and forcefully, pull the right foot to the left, make the right ankle cling to the left ankle, bend the right leg, close the inner buckle, press down the right hip bone, and push up the left hip bone, showing the basic form of standing with both feet in the middle, and the hip bone does not move to the left or right. At this time, the left shoulder, ribs, buttocks and legs are straight lines, which are the same as those in step 1 and step 2.
The right foot interacts with the ground, pushing the body to the left, while moving the left foot to the left, and shifting the center of gravity to the left foot. At this time, the right leg is straight, the toe of the right foot is outward, the heel does not touch the ground, and the right line is elongated.
Note: the shoulders should be steady, and you should not shake because of the change and bending of the center of gravity of the left and right feet. At the same time, we should pay attention to the application of abdominal muscles and back muscles and the compression and stretching of side ribs. One beat in the first two steps, one beat in the last two and a half steps, and one beat in the last step. ?
? 2. The action decomposition (time step) of the original basic step of the cha-cha dance.
Preparatory action: center of gravity of left foot, right foot open. You can also put your right foot back, the sole of your foot touches the ground and the instep collapses. The right foot retracts to the left foot, and when the sole of the foot touches the ground, the center of gravity is changed to the whole foot, the left leg is bent, the knee is closed, and the center of gravity is placed on the right leg.
Bend your left leg, tuck your knees in, and center of gravity your right leg.
In the process of these two parts, both feet step on the ground and interact with the ground, and the position of the crotch only rotates clockwise and counterclockwise on the horizontal plane, and does not move left and right; Move your left foot to the right, bend your left leg, fold your knees, and keep your center of gravity on your right foot; The left leg is the center of gravity, the right leg moves to the right, and the knee is closed.
The reaction of the right foot to the ground makes the left foot move a small step to the left, the center of gravity reaches the left leg, and the body stands upright. Intermediate muscles can't relax; The right foot is retracted and attached to the left ankle, and the right leg is bent; When the left leg is bent, the center of gravity is on the right foot; The leg moves a small step to the right, the knee bends and closes, and the center of gravity is on the left foot; Move the left leg to the right and stick it on the right side of the right foot to change the center of gravity; Push the right leg to the right as a gravity leg.
