Forward or backward step
We all know that when dancing, the first thing to do is to move the body first, and then step up or step back, but when many people dance waltz square step, the body doesn't move, that is to say the diaphragm doesn't move first, but the legs are stretched out first, which makes the feeling of jumping out of the dance as if it is the legs pulling the body out, which is the biggest disadvantage of dancing swing modem dance. This is the biggest drawback of swing modern dance, no matter it is forward or backward, the middle part of the body should be stretched to make the body move first, so that it can be easy to jump out of the big step, the center of gravity of the body forward or backward, then the legs will be easy to move forward or backward with the legs, the legs are moving with the body, so that the dance steps out of the rhythmic sense of rhythm, in order to jump out of the stretching and upright and elegant! The most important thing is to have an overall sense of the whole, so that you can jump out of the big step, a lot of people can't jump out of the big step, because the center of gravity of the movement is problematic.
Some people move the center of gravity, but the body is tilted out of the support leg is not pushed out hard, so there will be a momentary loss of control of the feeling of jumping, affecting the quality of the whole dance, posture deformation ugly, so in the process of jumping modem dance, to carefully experience their own whether there is this problem.
However, some people do not swing out of their own big pace to find a lot of reasons for him to cover up the error, what dance to be natural, as usual walking, which is completely away from the "dance is the total mobilization of vitality," so that no one spend money to go to the theater to see the dance performances; said what the body should be straight to To keep the frame type unchanged, power will destroy the straight body frame, do not dare to power, will not power, or the ability to power, Mirko is a critique of the frame type of dance only the wrong ideas and practices, then dull movements, is ugly; there is always swinging a big frame, that is, do not go to a complete set of movements to do a complete set of movements, the dance is to do the process, you do not succeed in your current action to find the reasons from the previous action, always Stop to explain, argue, seriously affecting the learning progress, interest and effectiveness; there are people who are extremely pursuit of perfection, like a person with a cleanliness disease, there is a little bit of dust on the ground, he could not eat, in the process of practicing, so that the jump can not be jumped, that jump is not right, this one is not good, that one is not in place, the mess of the faults of other people have, to be called the perfect man, in fact, they do it up a hundred mistakes, Fu! Mr. Fu said: "first seek will, and then seek the right", this is an important learning method, baby toddler can be perfect? Liu Xiang also had a baby toddler period.
The center of gravity of the body to move first, that is, the upper body to be the first movement (note: the legs follow the body's movement speed but faster than the heavy heart of the movement, always after the first to come, twice as fast as the heavy heart of the movement speed, the distance to move is also twice as large), and the center of gravity of the forward or backward by the support leg pushed to the front or backward, the body posture must be to maintain a correct, can not be too much of the front leaning forward or back, the foot must be gently rubbing the ground, the foot must be to the back of the body, and the body must not be too much of the front leaning forward, the foot must be too much of the back of the body. The foot must lightly rub the ground, when moving forward, the footwork is from the toe to the foot and then to the heel landing to the whole foot, when moving backward, the toe lightly rubs the ground and then transitions from the foot to the whole foot, it should be pointed out in particular that in the case of backward, the foot in place of the backward foot prematurely falls to the root, which leads to the body of the backward person to fall backward, and only when the front foot brushes over the foot of the center of gravity to fall to the heel, in the process of movement of the forward or backward leg before the landing, the body has always been by the The supporting leg must be strong and able to control the body to move forward or backward smoothly before it can be considered a real skill.
Lifting and lowering
The waltz is a kind of deep wave dance with lifting and lowering, and the lifting and lowering action is accomplished in the conversion of the knee, ankle, and toe joints into flexion and extension. Good lifting and lowering can maintain the stability of the center of gravity and the sliding nature of the footwork.
The first step of the waltz square, forward or backward step, the body forward or backward at the same time the center of gravity of the body should also be a smooth decline, the movement of the leg to the ground, down to the lowest point, in the body center of gravity is completely transferred to the leg, that is, at the end of the first step, the body slowly and smoothly rise, the second step continues to rise, the third step continues to rise, to the third step of the body of the second half of a beat begins to descend simultaneously out of the first step of the next section.
The waltz in general follows this pattern of rising and falling. Whether it is forward or backward, or to the side and step, the body's feeling of elevation is smooth, the center of gravity must be a smooth curve, there can not be a step-like sudden changes in the sharp rise and fall. The feeling of lifting and lowering can be comprehended by everyone, but also can jump out of the lift and lowering, the only defect is that some people lift, unstable, incoherent, rise to the limit, there is no air control, lifting and lowering of the movement out of the curve is not smooth, there is a ladder-like mutation, the feeling of jumping out of the very poor.
When dealing with lifting, the most common problem for beginners is not being able to keep the knee joint relaxed and not being able to sink the shoulders when lifting. I have seen a lot of people in the body to the highest point of the body, hard chest shrugged shoulders, the body is too much backward, giving a kind of floating to be blown away by the wind as the same feeling, very unstable, can also be said to be the center of gravity is not stable. After rising, you must keep your shoulders sunken, giving the impression that your center of gravity is still firmly acting on the floor, and you can't have the feeling that you are going to be a wallflower. In this regard, the practice of pure technology is not a solution to the problem, but also to strengthen the improvement of musical literacy, strengthen the study of art theory, strengthen the art of inculcation, enhance their own knowledge of the connotation of a noble, noble personality to harness the art of dance.
Swinging
Swinging refers to the dancer's body in the forward and backward as if swinging like a swing, start forward, as a swing swing forward, from top to bottom to the lowest and then continue to rise to the other side of the highest point of the feeling of swinging up, move backward, as a swing after the swing, with the feeling of swinging back from the top to the bottom. The feeling of swinging is actually due to the dance steps of lifting and moving skills embodied, so we in the process of dancing the square step forward or backward step with lifting and lowering of the dance steps, we must find the feeling of swinging like swinging.
Tilting
Tilting refers to tilting the body from side to side in the left-right horizontal step or the second step of the left and right turns. When you take a big step, you always move your waist and hips together with your feet, and you have the feeling that your hips are being thrown out, and then the part above your waist and hips gradually follow up in order to keep the center of gravity stable, thus forming a natural tilting movement in accordance with the laws of physics. In the left foot into the left turn or back left foot right turn, the body is in line with the left tilt, into the right foot right turn or back right foot left turn, the body is in line with the right tilt, which is also in line with the laws of motion natural tilt movement.
When dancing the square step, if the male step is the left leg and to the right leg, then the male partner's second and third steps are tilted to the left and the female partner is tilted to the right, if the male step is the right leg and to the left leg, then the male partner's second and third steps are tilted to the right and the female partner is tilted to the left. This pattern is also followed when turning left or right and stepping together.
It should be noted, however, that the body at the tilt has the inclination of a pendulum, and that the spine is always straight but not curved, and that tilting from side to side should not be misconstrued as an intentional sideways bending of the left or right waist.
I have observed that there are many people who do not dance the tilt, and in doing so they do not bring out the full feeling of the waltz. In particular, some people put the swing leg of the second step in place with the leg bent, which makes the second step appear to be a flat push, no rise, dragging, no tilt and a false tilt, and the tilt made intentionally, falsely', with the shoulder and the broken waist is ugly, and is better than no tilt at all.
Reverse
When the left foot moves forward, the right shoulder and right hip are sent forward; when the right foot moves forward, the left shoulder and left hip are sent forward; when the left foot moves backward, the right shoulder and right hip are let go; when the right foot moves backward, the left shoulder and left hip are let go, so that the body and the dance steps form a reverse coordination, which is called the reverse movement. Reverse movement is mainly used in the first step of the left or right turn, both men and women to facilitate the waist and hips close to the side of the body, but also to increase the beauty of the dance.
Is there any reverse movement in the square step? In the square step, there is also a reverse movement, but it is a slight reverse movement, not as obvious as the reverse in the left or right turn steps, in the first step of the square step, the male and female partners also have a slight reverse movement.
But I prefer to do a pure square step, a square step without any reversals, and if you can't do a square step like that, you can't do a good reversal.
Left and right cross-steps
In each of the four basic steps of the square step, the second step of the basic step is to make the moving leg pass the edge of the foot of the supporting leg, and then cross-step to the side front or back. More serious is that some people first side outstretched leg is not the thigh with calf out, but stomping the soles of the feet out of the cross, as if the soles of the feet have something to hinder their feet to the side of the cross step, need to put the power to the soles of the feet side stomping out the same, feel very bad. Some people even call this "stomping square step", this stomping word misleads a large number of dance enthusiasts, stomping out of the leg this jump is wrong, do not have this feeling.
The correct way to jump is still the body's center of gravity first to the side of the lateral shift (pay attention to the lateral shift to have a tilted feeling), and the thighs are followed by the body to the side of the lateral step, I observed a lot of dance masters are also this way to jump. Committed this fault of the modern dance enthusiasts is also the most, we remember a, whether it is forward and backward, or traverse and step or even rotate, the legs are to move with the body, rather than the body with the legs, the legs move with the body to have a sense of wholeness.
There is also a common problem that some people dance the horizontal step, the movement of the leg after the foot of the supporting leg, there is a long pause, so that the whole step is not coherent. Do not pause when the leg passes the foot of the supporting leg, but continue to move sideways or backwards.
Mobility
What is mobility? Mobility is the characteristic of the body's translational movement during the dance, flowing like water. Dance with mobility, first of all, the dance should be stable, speed should be agile, and secondly, the pace should be big enough. There are a lot of people out of the dance lack of mobility, on the one hand, because of its pace is too small, there is no sense of leaping, the body is stupid and heavy, stagnant movement; on the other hand, it is the essentials of its transport step problem caused, especially in the second half of the beat of the 3, do not force, the main leg is straight, the whole body is stiff, it feels like a circular rule in the dance, it is always felt that their dance steps are messy jumping out, is not a flow out of the The main leg is straight, the whole body is stiff, and it feels like a compass. To make your steps fluid, the movement of your center of gravity must be pushed out by the supporting leg, not dumped out, the supporting leg must not be out of control, the movement of the body must be smooth, the center of gravity must move first, and the leg must move with the body, not the leg pulling the body to move.
Balance of Power
When dancing the waltz, male and female partners must maintain balance in the movement. The center of the balance of power while doing the movement is on the contact point of the diaphragm. This point of contact if the upper and lower misalignment, left and right distortion, squeeze or leave the distance, all indicate that the balance has been destroyed. When a man leads and a woman follows, the woman must know how to follow the dance silently, that is to say, the woman's movements must be slightly slower than the man's. For example, when dancing forward progressively, the woman must know how to follow the dance silently. For example, when dancing the forward step, the lady must be pushed by the man to dance, the lady always gives the man a proper reaction force, when dancing the forward step, the lady is backward, at this time the lady must not grab the beat and pull the man to dance. If the lady jumps back and pulls the man to jump, it will inevitably make the contact parts of both sides separate, and at the same time destroy the balance of power of both sides. The lady's good sense of follow the dance is very important to maintain the balance of power between the two sides.
Some men lead women to practice, neither grip, nor leaning position, and the hand in the chaotic gestures, the place where the movement does not move, should not move the place chaotic, triggering a variety of errors, long-term, self-righteous, habits are difficult to change.
Center of gravity
The center of gravity of the body is supported by the muscle joints below the hips, and the center of gravity is moved by the thrust of the left and right feet and the change of steps during the movement. Accurate use of the hips, knees, ankles and toes is the basis of stability and control. Generally, the body should move to drive the legs to move, with all the body's dance to show the stretching and upright elegant and generous posture. The movement of the center of gravity in the square step has been described earlier, and will not be repeated here.
Harmonious posture
In the waltz square step, hips, waist, shoulders should be relaxed (relaxed but not slack), and the head and neck should be drawn upward, the diaphragm upward, the middle part of the tension, up, so that there can be an elegant demeanor. Dancing should actually all be like this.
Originally, I just wanted to write about the most obvious faults that some dancers often commit when dancing the waltz square step, but I couldn't stop writing about it, and I'm not sure if I can get it right, but I'm not sure if I can get it right, but I'm not sure if I can get it right. A simple square step requires so many skills to be mastered, so jumping modern dance dance looks simple, to dance well, it is not an easy thing.
A long way to go, as long as the most basic steps mastered, grasp the main contradiction, have a solid basic skills, learn to dance those complex pattern movements, it will become a very easy thing.
One of the first conditions:
Dance step changes, more patterns, not necessarily the best dance dance, to know how to practice. Dance straight, beautiful, light, togetherness which is the true meaning of modern dance. Self-satisfaction, eager to achieve, addicted to the things that are not on the grade, learning a narrow range of knowledge, performance to see too little, the lack of research, and more lack of other dances and all aspects of the comprehensive knowledge of the arts, is the enemy of learning dance.
Choose a good environment to learn dance is the most important, to choose where to learn? To which teacher to learn? Dance, to start with a good floor, good music, good dancing shoes, good dance partner, know the correct norms of practice, but also the completion of the three goals, it is possible to dance the modern dance well (i.e.: dance, dance, dance sense, dance rhyme).
The most important thing is the posture
Without the correct posture, you can't learn to dance like a modern dancer. The body itself is quite stiff, not a bit of mobility, but also do not understand how to complete the beautiful and robust dance posture. You should know that the dance posture is a reflection of body language, is the dance skills and dance art or music understanding of the comprehensive embodiment. The dynamic beauty of the modern dance posture, is in the two sides of the bone structure and muscle tension support role, the use of leverage principles, to promote the two sides of the counterbalance force corresponding to each other, to complete the whole, unity, light, comfortable, smooth, unrestrained beautiful dance, is the use of mechanics in the portrayal. Therefore, the dynamic beauty of dance posture must be a comprehensive use of power, which must be in line with the aesthetics of the human body structure and muscles, the use of the human body's qi and blood circulation, the development of the limbs in line with the requirements of comfort, the emotionality in line with the needs of the psychological senses, the sensibility in line with other people's visual enjoyment, and the mechanics in line with the laws of nature and dynamics, which is the organic mechanism of the use of vitality. According to the dance plot and content can be set up with the music, the use of leverage and inertia principle, regulating the use of power, show plot, meaning, posture, rhythm on earth the most perfect dance dynamic.
Three, understand the dance sense to dance with the heart:
Modern dance has a dignified, subtle, steady, elegant style and gentlemanly manner. Modern dance is about smooth steps, soft and loose, dance cover, ups and downs in an orderly manner, the music rhythm is clear, the dance is rich in skill, the main performance is the power of the outer soft and inner strength. The use of comprehensive power is the style, and the contact between the dance partner is contact, the use of power in the uniform and stable contact force, the rhyme road in the double dance, is the sense of power in contact, the soul of the dancers is the intention, gas, shape of the three in one. Modern Dance has won the title of Queen of Dance for its steady and smooth steps, majestic and bright posture, and bold and exuberant momentum. Modern dance is also in line with the yin and yang reconciliation of a dance, is in line with the laws of natural vitality, is the need for the development of human civilization, is the need for human sensory and physical needs, and is the embodiment of artistic beauty and dynamic beauty.
Fourth, how to dance easily and smoothly
1, dance, dance sense, dance rhyme and loose, light, floating, high is a symbol of modern dance, want to jump out of the intoxicatingly beautiful dance, you must y feel the charm of the five skills of modern dance, in order to have a dignified, subtle, steady, elegant style and gentlemanly manner. Dance is not difficult, as long as you can relax, full of force and beauty of the international standard dance is a physical action, dancing to master the correct force, force, but also requires a relaxed jump. Must match the music, to be rich in rhythm, the design of the dance steps from the music, so you must try to relax the knees down, the knees are relaxed, the center of gravity in place, in order to control the music, the music must be in the dancer's hem,. All technique depends on momentum. How to relax the body and breathing is the lifeblood of rhythm and momentum. Tighten up and loosen down is wonderful, a tight and loose to set the stage,
2, practicing dance to master the correct power, exertion, but also requires dancing in the consciousness of the natural, easy to dance, to breathe naturally, the spirit should not be tense, and do not exaggerate the chest, excessive stepping on the ground, deliberately directing the muscles to work, intentionally directing the use of the breath, which will only make certain parts of the body stiff, the movement becomes raw, and will Distraction. It is an indisputable fact that practicing dance is very important, because practice makes perfect and diligence makes up for clumsiness. To practice dance is to practice the movement of the form and the circulation of the breath. With the movement of the body to drive the movement of the feet, good sense, the form will be more and more light dance, and vice versa will lose sight of the other side, the body stiff.
3, do not practice gas, do not understand the gas, no gas circulation, not to mention the size of the circulation, inside and outside, the direction of how many, is not practiced in the modern dance of the loose, floating, high. Dance to the God luck to guide the bones and limbs running and heaven and earth corresponds to know even less, gas cycle as long as a few minutes to get it done, but did not meet the people who know, it is very difficult to think ah. Keeping the old teachers, teaching dance in the old way, choreography, practicing dance and modern dance constantly innovate the art, a difficult, new and beautiful movements are out of place, is misleading. No persistent pursuit, do not know the method of hard practice, the theoretical level of dance skills is difficult to improve. The practice of modern dance pay attention to the lightness and dexterity, and light is the core of the sense of the 28 parts of the body, including all parts of the muscles, all to relax, can not have half a bit of stiffness. Not to seek new and difficult high, but to seek light and high. This is the direction of the dancer's efforts to enter a good situation. To be light, you need to relax, to float, you need to be able to play, and to be high, you need to use your body skills to improve infinitely.
Modern Dance Square Step Training Method 3 One, when standing Hanging the top of the back, the gas sinking into the dantian, so that the back muscles can be upwardly extended, the spine can be kept without bias. At the same time, the length from the neck to the waist and abdomen can be increased, and more importantly, the body can maintain a straight-backed dance. Second, the ear root is up It can play a spiritual role, while feeling the length of the neck, the ear root and the distance between the shoulders. iii. One can make the body lighter by breathing in the water as well as on the ground When dancing, the pressure on the legs is reduced by lightening the body. IV. Head rotation Pushes the spine to rotate rather than the head and neck alone. V. Relaxation of the waist and hips Keeping the knees slightly bent and relaxed, feel the length from the waist to the legs to the thumbs. Sixth, both shoulders are loose Elbows sink slightly to prevent the body's center of gravity from rising. When dancing modern dance, the grip should not be too tight or too soft, it should be firm, solid, flexible and not stiff. VII. Make sure to close the belly Use the internal qi of the dantian to control the breathing (diaphragmatic counter-breathing), and the chest should be very relaxed and natural. eight, the upper body should be upward stretch and pull, while the lower body should be downward loose sink Make the spine like a hanging chain, both loose and straight and flexible, so that from the middle of the waist up and down, there is resistance to tensile, such as the growth of seedlings, roots downward, stems upward, lengthening of the body to increase the body up and down the resistance, the greater the greater the resistance. Sisters, more flexible and explosive modern dance can be increased. In modern dance, the main point of the basic posture practice is this, there will be better performance.
