The correct posture of ballroom dancing;
1. Both men and women should hold out their chests and abdomen, and their upper bodies should lean back slightly, with an inclination angle of about 5- 10 degrees from the vertical. Hips should actually be closely related to each other and form a whole. Knee slightly bent, slightly bent. Women's feet and men's feet are staggered one foot wide and located on the left side of men.
2. Men and women face their left, that is, their partner's right shoulder, and always pay attention to the situation behind their partner to prevent collisions with others (or guard against enemy sneak attacks, as in ancient times).
3. The man's right hands are close together, and the middle finger and the ring finger are slightly bent inward, and they are tightly attached to the edge of the woman's left scapula, not the waist. Hold the lady's right hand slightly with her left hand, and open her arms to form an arch, depending on the height of the lady.
A woman's right hand and right arm should be controlled by a male partner, not according to her own habits. Except tango, the left hand is slightly bent with the middle finger and the ring finger, buckled on the man's right shoulder, and the left arm touches the man's right arm to form a whole. In tango dance, the four fingers except the thumb are close together, and the thumb protrudes under the man's right armpit, and the left arm touches or leans against the man's right arm. In fact, no matter how you dance, as long as you pose well, you will feel good. In principle, when jumping, the posture of the upper body should remain the same, and don't swing at will. Chest out and abdomen in must do, don't pay attention to the following partner's footsteps, so as not to develop a wobbly dance, which is very beautiful. Although you feel tired at first, you will get used to it after a long time, which will benefit you for life-let you have a tall, handsome or slim figure, and also help you maintain a confident, optimistic and open-minded attitude.
The rotating body swing in ballroom dancing;
The rotation in the dance is very attractive under the beautiful long skirt. If you add proper body swing to the ballroom dance, the dance will be more attractive. In order to dance the national standard dance with high quality, people will inevitably use various dance skills, but? Body swing? Is one of the contents. The main purpose of modern ballroom dancing is to shape the appearance of movements. Body swings can be used in the following ways:
1) Tilt the body to the left or right.
2) Various rotating actions. In addition to the axis rotation, because the rotation speed with one foot as the axis is too fast, there is no time for body swinging.
3) In some dance steps, make body curve movements and wave movements.
When does all the rotation start? Reflex action? One of the dance technical movements refers to the movements of the shoulders and hips opposite to the strength legs in the direction of the strength legs. This reflexive movement is used in all the spinning steps. ) What's next? Body swing? . No matter whether the dance steps are forward or backward, if the reflexive action starts from the right foot, the swinging action will turn to the right. If the reflexive action starts from the left foot, the swinging action will turn to the left. Under normal circumstances, the swing will last for two steps, and it will be adjusted in the next reflexive action, but sometimes it will only last for one step.
The main principle of body swing is to make the body turn sideways to the center of rotation, and its practical value is to prevent dancers from over-rotating or losing balance. This is most obvious in the waltz. Even a beginner can feel the small inclination between the body and the direction of body movement when practicing the rotation movement, which can help him keep his balance.
In fact, the ultimate goal of body swing is to play a decorative role and strengthen the aesthetic feeling of dance. Learning the correct and moderate body swing will make the dancer's dance more attractive. Of course, if the body swings too much, it will also have the opposite result. Not swinging is better than swinging too much.
Taking the right turn step commonly used in Vienna waltz as an example, the practical application of body swing is illustrated.

Let's imitate it and see if the spin dance is more beautiful and the steps are smoother and more stretched.

Let's experience it for ourselves.
