Cowboy originated from African-American dance, which is a fast-paced and exhausting dance. World War II was spread by American sailors. The melody is cheerful and jumping, with a rhythm of 4/4 beats, 42 ~ 44 bars per minute, six beats and eight steps. It consists of basic dance steps such as stepping, merging, jumping and turning.
The sole of the foot is required to step on the ground, and the waist and crotch are required to swing like a pendulum. It is characterized by agile dance steps, free jumping, relaxed, enthusiastic and cheerful dance. Originated in the United States, it was originally a tap dance by cowboys in the western United States. The popularity of jazz in the 1950s accelerated and improved this dance, but it still maintained the vigorous, romantic and bold style of cowboys in the American West.
In the teaching of cowboys in China, cowboys have two teaching methods with obviously different styles, and their skills are very different, and the feeling of jumping out is completely different. This is a skill that Latin dance values more than the early stage.
Hang a stick and swing it from side to side to add a little leg bounce. However, many athletes in western countries pay more attention to the height and speed of jumping, which requires dancers to show strong physical control. In terms of speed and range, cowboys will look happier and faster. This is a more respected style.
Historical origin:
Swing dance originated in America and developed from a dance called "jitterbug". Swing dance canceled all the difficult moves in Jiteba and added some skills. The earliest record of swing dance is a book about swing dance published in Europe by London dance teacher VictorSilvester in 1944.
Pop, rock and roll and American swing dance all have certain influences on swing dance. Swing dance is a fast-paced and physically exhausting dance. The reason why the jive dance is arranged at the end of the competition is that the contestants must let the audience feel that they are still not tired after the first four dances, and they can still meet new challenges with great investment.
