Is there a difference between the two steps and the four steps of the point of the cotillion?

Difference:

1, the beat is not the same

Two steps and one upside down: three steps, as the name implies, is that there are three beats for each bar, its accent is on the first beat, the last two beats are weak, and the rhythm is " strong, weak, weak".

The rhythm of slow four is four beats a measure, and it is accented on beats one and three, or just the first beat. Unlike slow three, where the accent is on the first beat, and since it's an odd-numbered beat, the accent rotates between the left and right foot, slow four is different, since it's an even-numbered beat, the accent is always on the left. Of course, this is for boys; for girls, the accent is always on the right foot.

2, jump method is not the same:

For the slow three, we say, the first beat that is heavy beat, the step should be bigger, two or three beat for the weak beat, the step as an adjustment. Men out of the foot, should be straight forward. In fact, as long as men and women move forward or backward at the same time in rhythm with the music, they will not step on each other's feet.

When the slow four dance music is slower, we can use the equal interval dance method, according to the rhythm of the dance music, four beats a small section, each beat to take a step. As for the dance posture and so on, it is the same as the slow three. When walking straight, the first two beats can be slightly larger, and the last two beats can be adjusted. Note that for boys, the accent is always on the left foot (girls on the right). When the tempo of the dance music is a little faster, you can use two slow and two fast dance method, that is, "slow - slow - fast - fast".

The four basic positions of social dance

Positions, which are the basis of the dance * changes, are meticulously and strictly categorized into more than a dozen kinds. But as long as we master the following four most basic forms, we can touch the class.

C.P. (Closed Position) * Close Position, also known as Hop Pair Position, Closed Position, or Basic Position. The main point is that the shoulder lines must be parallel, and must not be confused with the Closed Position, where one side is wide and the other is narrow and sideways.

P.P. (Promenade Position)* Promenade position is directly translated as walking position. It is also called the open position, walking position, V-shaped position, half-harmony position, and so on. The main point is that the right side of the male partner and the left side of the female partner, while the other side is relatively open, the two sides of the shoulder line thus forming a "v" shape changes. Both sides of the point of view is also focused on the direction of the extension of the handshake.

O.P. (Outside Partner) is a right lateral position, a fork called a right cross position, a right buttock position, a right side position, a right side position with the same foot, etc. The main point is that both partners are in the body of the partner. The main point is that both sides are in the partner's body on the right side of the step.

P.O, (Partner Outside) is a left outside position, also known as left cross position, left hip to left hip position, left side of the same foot, etc. The point is that both partners are moving on the left side of the partner's body.
