Popular in the whole Dai area, Ruili County and Mengding peacock dance in Gengma County, there are also many professional artists who make a living by dancing peacock dance. They imitate peacocks: flying down the mountain, walking in the forest, drinking spring water, chasing and playing, dragging their wings, flapping their wings, spreading their wings, climbing branches, resting branches, opening the screen, flying, and so on. Their dance has strict procedures and requirements, fixed footwork and state, and even every movement is accompanied by fixed drum language.
As we all know, the Dai people are hardworking, brave, gentle and kind. "Water-like nation" is another description of the Dai people's character.
They are polite, gentle, soft outside and hard inside, smart and humorous. Their personalities are like water, sometimes like a trickle, gentle and delicate. Sometimes, it is like the torrent of a big river, rushing and worshiping.
The dance of the Dai people also fully embodies this colorful national character.
Now let's welcome the dance "Dai Dance" brought to us by Mansaidong Village Committee with warm applause.
Extended data:
The basic movements of Dai dance;
1, rising or falling
The remake sinks, slowly sinks, evenly downwards, and the spine should be vertical. When squatting, you can't invade or lean back. The spine sinks against the heel, and when it is lifted, it slowly, just like drooping!
2, next to the ups and downs
When sinking, the right leg collapses, the knee bends downward, the left knee * holds the right knee, the upper body leans outward to the left, the head looks right, moves in the opposite direction, the left leg collapses, and the right foot points to the left leg *. At this time, the left leg is the main leg and the center of gravity is on the left leg. When collapsing, the upper body can't attack forward and lean backward, keep upright, lift the right waist and look left.
3. The front of the foot ups and downs
When the body sinks, there is a leg lift. When the hook comes back, the knee can't be pushed forward (because the Dai dance wears a skirt). It will be ugly to go forward. You have to kick back vertically, and it's a hook. Whenever you kick, be quick, clean and breathe! When the leg is kicked backwards, the upper body is a little undulating and can't stand up straight! When lifting the left leg, the right leg is gathered, and when lifting the right leg, the left leg crosses. This action is very important in Dai dance!
