Dance Forest Secrets for Beginners The world's most famous dancers can win thunderous applause just by dancing on stage. How many people have I envied! But there is a secret to the success of dancing masters. A famous dancer will choose a good environment to learn dance in the beginning. This good environment has all kinds of excellent conditions. First, he has to choose where to dance. study? Which teacher should I learn from? Choose good music, a good dance floor, and a good pair of dance shoes. If any of these conditions are missing, you will lose at the starting point. Therefore, a famous dancer in the Japanese dance circle-Mr. Miura Kozo once said: "Dancing, you must start with a good floor, good music, and a good partner. Only then can you dance well." When it comes to the environment for learning dance, it refers to the place where you learn to dance. Generally, there is an activity center in a large building. , social halls, conference halls or large classrooms, and even private buildings and apartments, there are also dance venues available, followed by dance studios, dance halls, and dance venues. Dancers should not choose a dance practice place based solely on convenience or cheapness, as this will make you lose many opportunities. Generally speaking, a dancing place should have both hardware and software equipment. Wooden floor equipment is ideal, but some activity centers or conference halls often have tiles or plastic floors, or even carpet floors. When it was originally designed, it was not for the purpose of dancing, so you have no choice but to make do with it. Such non-standard floors cannot achieve good results. It is better to choose a place with wooden floors for dance practice. Of course, professional dance studios generally have relatively complete equipment such as floors, speakers, and teachers. As for ballrooms or dance halls, although the flooring, sound and other equipment may be better, the environment is more complicated. Of course, there are a few good dance halls, which are also good places for dance practice. A dance partner is of course one of the conditions for dance practice, and how to choose a dance partner is also an important issue. As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Learning to dance is like playing golf. You should usually play with people who are better than you. Only then will it help you and make progress. In the early stages, it is not easy to tell who dances better. After entering the situation, you will find that the people around you are your dance partners or not. Of course, if there is a drunkard who is not interested in drinking and looks good, he will always be given priority as a condition for choosing a partner. If he is full of love, his progress will always be slow. To make progress, you can only dance well by finding a dance partner who is better than you.
Choosing teachers is also an important issue. You cannot think that the person who has won the most awards must be a good teacher. Some people can dance but not teach, are good at dancing but not good at teaching, or like to put on airs and often curse or lose their temper. , which makes you lose confidence in yourself and your hands and feet become stiff due to tension. What kind of dance can you learn? Who is a good teacher? You may get some reviews and information from friends or the dance community. Furthermore, you can also judge from many aspects. Generally speaking, those with more complete courses and more senior qualifications have more teaching experience, are approachable, and have a serious teaching attitude, and are also higher-level teachers. Of course, in addition to teaching dance, teachers must also pay attention to their appearance and temperament. After all, dancing is a gentleman's sport with international etiquette. If you are disheveled, don't stop smoking, and the smell of cigarette smoke is unbearable, it will greatly affect your mood in class. There is nothing like this in the international dance world. Some teachers are used to teaching group classes. After an hour, you will definitely not be able to get a few minutes, and you will feel like a resentful woman in a palace. If you choose a class with fewer students or take individual classes, the tuition fee may be higher, but the teacher will have more time to teach you. It is a choice between money and time. Feel your own pocket first before deciding! Finally, when it comes to dance shoes, they are the most important item for dancers. If music is the soul of a dancer, dance shoes are the dancer’s life, an extension of the dancer’s body, and a part of the body. Most people may Why spend money on dancing shoes when you think you can just dance in a pair of ordinary loafers? Or you can simply buy a pair of cheap counterfeit shoes to wear as a supplement. Anyway, you are not very good at dancing. You should also be careful that some teachers or store owners will try their best to sell inferior dance shoes in order to make a little more money for higher profits. This concept of "just stealing a dime is not a thief" is the poison that hinders progress. You must know that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Each kind of dance has its special shoes. If you dance modernly, there are modern dances. Shoes; for Latin dancing, there are Latin dance shoes, other ballet shoes, tap shoes, and recently exclusive tango shoes. The British company Shiba Dance Shoes has launched this year for teachers or judges. Specialized coaching shoes have a very fine division of labor. Each type of shoe has its own structure and characteristics to adapt to various dance steps. It is recommended that beginners buy a pair of training shoes for practice first, such as Shiba. 1026. After entering the second stage, you can buy a pair of Latin modern dual-purpose shoes. Girls start with two-inch low-heeled shoes when they first learn, and slowly increase to two-and-a-half inches, three-inch... An unstable center of gravity may cause sprained ankles, and an excessively high heel is a dangerous burden for beginners. Low-heeled dance shoes are mostly preferred by beginners, tall people, or girls who dance men's steps. However, three-inch high-heeled shoes do make people more graceful and graceful, and are suitable for more advanced dancers. Dancers who know how to use their dance shoes are like players on the golf course who choose the wrong club and fail to hit the green, only to regret missing out on applause and bonuses. While watching the British Blackpool Competition this year, the author took the opportunity to visit the dance shoe manufacturers and was curious about the ever-popular World Dance Shoes. I also did a lot of in-depth discussions to understand why their dance shoes are so popular around the world every year. I really admire their research on ergonomics and their large design lineup. Since it seems to be biased in advertising, I can’t introduce it here. But one thing I have to say is to visit Shiba Shoes. Mr. Mick Free, the old chairman of the company, said a famous saying to me, which I very much agree with. He said: "Dancing starts from the ears, and then starts from your feet. Dance shoes are part of the dancer's body. You Never ignore it. "This is a profound statement and a summary of their decades of shoemaking experience.
