Latin dance in-situ gravity conversion and training method
Latin dance is a type of dance and an emerging dance art that has only emerged in our country in recent years. I have compiled Latin dance in-situ gravity transformation and training methods. Welcome to appreciate and learn from them.
Standing training methods:
Several key points: raise your head, hold your jaw, long neck, sink your shoulders, lift your chest, draw in your ribs, straighten your spine, tighten your abdomen, lift your buttocks, and pinch your shoulders. Legs and feet.
Raising your head and holding your jaw: Of course it is wrong to lower your head, but you cannot raise your chin high, as it will look aloof and unsightly. In all dances, in addition to the movements that require lifting the chin, the chin basically needs to be included, which can also lengthen the line from the back of the head to the buttocks.
Long neck and sunken shoulders: Lengthen the neck. Similarly, lengthening the neck requires attention to the position, that is, lengthening the cervical vertebrae at the back of the neck. At the same time, the shoulders must be sunk. Do not shrug, which means sunken shoulders. The chin and elongated neck are the most important manifestations of a person's overall noble temperament.
Put your chest up, retract your ribs, and straighten your spine: Keep your chest up but not your chest, but that doesn’t mean you have to lift your chest up hard to show off your chest muscles or fat. At the same time, you should slightly retract the ribs on both sides inwards. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say straight chested. The spine should be straight and straight, and should not be bent left or right or forward or backward. In this way, an upright and not stiff posture from head to chest and back can make the whole person's energy and spirit show different states.
Abdominal tightening and hip lifting: With a noble and calm upper body, don’t relax even if you interrupt. This is the key part to express sexiness. Tighten your abdominal muscles and tighten them inward. Don't think of your buttocks as a buttocks or a slumped waist. If not, you can feel it like this: put your hands on your hips, do not move any muscles in your body, but just tighten your hip muscles, and then relax them, feeling this tightening and relaxing feeling.
Clamp your legs and stretch your feet: The muscles on your inner thighs should be clamped so that your legs have strength and your body can be folded into a pillar when rotating. Look at all Latin dancers, they have very tight inner thigh muscles. Many of them can reach the point where there is no gap on the inner thighs when standing with legs together, instead of the triangular gap mentioned by the big S beauty king. Whether standing or exercising, the insteps of Latin dance should be as straight as possible, which can lengthen the visual appearance of the legs and also give people a psychological hint of strength and control.
Gravity conversion in place:
1. When doing hip twists in place, pay attention to shifting the center of gravity to the soles of the two feet, tighten the inner sides of the legs, and pay attention to both sides of each movement Press your feet fully on the ground, and don't think about twisting your hips. Instead, think about the front, side, and back movements of your main leg and hips with every step. (This is very important)
2. The transition state of each shot is on the soles of the two feet, both legs are straight, and both feet are on the ground and fighting against the reaction force at the same time. Pay attention to Don't directly transition from hip swing to hip swing. The process of not having both feet on the ground is the main cause of spine shaking!
3. The body, especially the back muscles, should be used to lead or activate. The body drives the hips and then the legs. The body is a whole. Look far away, keep the upper body straight, and give yourself both front and back. There is a lot of room for you to play.
4. Foot shape. In fact, in addition to body posture, the leg shape and foot shape of Latin dance are also important factors that affect the Latin taste.
5. Be careful not to hold your breath when practicing. Breathe according to the rhythm. More practice will help to develop a good breathing feeling.
1. Don’t call it “twisting the hips”. Beginners may really understand it as “twisting”. A term I often use is "in situ gravity shift."
2. A very important point is that the buttocks cannot be relaxed and the thigh roots must be upright, especially when the rotation is to the maximum range. Otherwise, the force will easily deviate from the central axis of the body, and the lower limbs will become enlarged.
Third, the crotch cannot move due to physiological structure problems, and what actually moves is the waist. Whether it's squeezing or turning. The visual movement of the hips is actually the result of the cooperation of the strength of the waist and abdominal muscles and the support of the ground. Teaching hip rotation to beginners is not conducive to their understanding of the strength of the waist and abdominal muscles. ;
