International standard ballroom dancing is literally translated as international standard ballroom dance. It is one of the three most popular dances in the world (the other two are ballet and modern dance). National standard dance It is divided into two categories, namely national standard modern dance and national standard Latin dance. Covering ten dance types, modern dances include waltz, tango, foxtrot, quickstep, and Viennese waltz. Latin dances include rumba, cha cha cha, samba, bullfighting and cowboy. Ballroom dances include pole It has strong performance characteristics and competitive characteristics, so it is also called sports
Dance.
After 1986, international standard dance was introduced to mainland China and quickly became popular. International standard dance Dance has attracted the attention and practice of many dance enthusiasts and professional dance workers because of its strong performance and competitiveness. At the same time, ballroom dance has become more popular with
The large-scale dance quickly became popular among the general public, and quickly became a commonly used means of socializing in people's daily work and life
For a time, communication dances, mainly ballroom dances, became very popular within and between units. .
So, where does ballroom dance come from, and what is its relationship with ballroom dance. This starts with the introduction of ballroom dance into our country.
Before 1986, there were only A few people in Guangzhou (learned from individual teachers in Hong Kong) and Shanghai dance ballroom dance, but most of them are still dancing the ballroom dance of the 1930s and 1940s.
After 1986, as the world's ballroom dance community (mainly Japan at first) popularized ballroom dance to mainland China
. The mainland dance community quickly accepted and learned this dance form, and the opening-up requirements also required international standards. All units and departments
abandoned the ballroom dance that was popular in the 1930s and 1940s, and began to popularize the national standard dance. However, the national standard ballroom dance is not so easy for ordinary people to learn.

International standard dance requires a large ballroom venue, so based on domestic reality and referring to world social dance types, domestic dance workers have simplified the ballroom dance and combined it with Some characteristics of domestic ethnic and folk dances have created a kind of ballroom dance that is popular with the common people. Common ballroom dances include the so-called three-step, four-step, sailor, ballroom tango, and dance
p>
Hall Rumba, Ballroom Cha Cha, etc. According to the difference in speed, the three steps are divided into slow three, medium three, fast three, and the slow three corresponds to the national standard
Waltz in dance, fast Three corresponds to the Viennese Waltz, and the middle three has no corresponding ballroom dance type. Similarly, the four steps
are also divided into slow four, medium four, and fast four, which respectively correspond to the blues in the old ballroom dance. , and the foxtrot and quickstep in current national standard dance
. Ballroom tango, ballroom rumba, and ballroom correspond to the national standard tango, rumba, and cha cha. Domestic sailor dances
< p>It's more interesting. According to the region and jumping method, it can be divided into four-step sailor, six-step sailor, and Beijing flat four. The six-step sailor is more like the national standardThe predecessor of the jive dance, jitterbug. And the four-step sailor Foot Soldiers and Beijing Pingsi were created by domestic dancers.
Ballroom dance and ballroom dance have many similarities, but there are also many differences, and there are even more distinct differences between them< /p>
. If ballroom dance emphasizes solid basic skills, the dance melody has distinctive characteristics, and expresses the inner communication between male and female dance partners
. Ballroom dance does not require any special basic skills. Dance music mainly has obvious drumbeats, and its expressiveness is weak
Many performance styles are completely different. Let’s give a few simple examples.
Using the three common In terms of steps, the three basic steps in ballroom dancing are all zigzag steps on the outside. Almost every beginner who learns ballroom dancing can easily learn this simple basic step. And this kind of The so-called simple outer zigzag step is simply unbelievable to those who learn it according to the ballroom dance method. They will say: "Oh my god, you are so strong, you have to learn such a difficult step!" \" .
On the contrary, for those who have learned ballroom dancing for a long time, it is impossible to dance the basic steps of ballroom dancing in a ballroom
. This may seem interesting, but in fact this phenomenon is caused by the different requirements of the two dances. Ballroom dance pays attention to the close cooperation between dancers, and every step requires both parties to The posture of the body should be tight, and because the space is smaller when taking steps on the outside, the technical requirements for ballroom dancers are very high, especially on the left side (because ballroom dance requires dancers to stand on each other< /p>
The opponent's right side). However, ballroom dancing does not pay attention to this sense of compactness at all. It only requires you to dance out the steps, so there is a situation where the outside dance posture is the basic step.
, because when you move forward and backward on the outside, there is enough space in front and behind, no matter how little coordination you and your dance partner
have, you will not step on your feet! As for the distance between you and your partner's body, If it is not graceful, it is not within the scope of its consideration.
The above leads to the first difference between ballroom dancing and ballroom dancing: ballroom dancing focuses on the dancers The coordination and steps are more rigorous
, while ballroom dancing relatively ignores the coordination between dancers. Its steps are designed to better avoid coordination.
Let’s talk about it again The quick three in ballroom dance and the Viennese Waltz in ballroom dance
The two are very similar in terms of steps, but their connotations are completely different. The second step in the quick three in ballroom dance has almost no horizontal direction.
The step, not to mention the tilting technique shown in the horizontal step, is just turning in place with the feet, while the Viennese Waltz has obvious
People who often dance the fast three ballroom dance say that the fast three is difficult to dance. One of the reasons is that it is easy to get dizzy, and it is not easy to control the steps
and it is easy to fall. Interestingly, On the contrary, the Viennese Waltz, which is a national standard dance, looks difficult to dance. It is really not dizzy when you dance, and because
you cannot control the possibility of falling
it is very small. This is because of the nature of national standard dance. The steps have been repeatedly practiced by professional dancers, and their steps are in line with the principles of dynamics
As long as they are done according to the specifications, there will be no uncontrollable situations. And ballroom dancing is a right The simplification of the national standard has certainly resulted in a reduction in the complexity of the steps (for example, simplifying the step of turning into a one-leg turn), making it easier to learn and jump, but it has also caused inconsistencies
Dynamics, excessive inertia, easy to fall. In other words, it is difficult to dance well.
The above leads to the second difference between ballroom dancing and ballroom dancing: the steps of ballroom dancing are all in line with the principles of dynamics. , relatively
it is the most reasonable for you to control yourself and your dance partner. Ballroom dance simplifies the steps of the national standard and is easy to learn and dance, but the negative effect
is missing Reasonable, it is difficult to control the postures of yourself and your partner when dancing, and it is also difficult to dance well.
I have discussed two types of modern dances above, and let’s talk about Latin dance below.
Discuss Latin dance cannot be discussed without discussing ballroom rumba and ballroom rumba. Some dancers who have learned ballroom rumba have seen ballroom rumba and exclaimed that there is a new popular dance in the dance hall. In fact, he does not know that this is Rumba in ballroom dance. The reason for his misunderstanding is that ballroom rumba and national standard rumba are completely different in style and steps!
The steps of ballroom rumba are not so much that of rumba. It is better to say that it is a change of steps similar to those of Beijing Pingsi. Its hip movements are more like twisting the waist than twisting the hips. The steps of the national standard rumba are almost the same as those of ordinary people. The foot position is no different, and its expressiveness is mainly in the swing of the hips. From the perspective of steps, the national standard rumba is simply walking forward, backward or sideways, but
The swing of his hips makes even a simple step full of strength and beauty. The difficulty of learning this basic hip skill scares away many ordinary dancers. Ballroom rumba is Otherwise, although the steps also include so-called hip swinging, it actually only requires you to have a softer waist and swing your hips easily, and the dance steps are very fancy and look very lively. But other The charm
is much different, more of a folk festive flavor.
The above leads to the third characteristic difference between ballroom dance and ballroom dance: the expressiveness of ballroom dance The emphasis is on those basic skills, whether it is modern dance or Latin dance, the simplest steps performed by a dancer with solid basic skills are full of beauty and expression
and friendship The expressiveness of dance is mainly reflected in the external patterns.
