I. Breathing is not necessarily related to lifting and lowering
The inhalation on the way up is just an appearance rather than the substance, and the exhalation on the way down is also an appearance rather than the substance of the problem. This can be borrowed in dances with lifts, but what about in dances without lifts? Such as: tango, fox trot and other dances in? (Actually, the only dance with typical lift is the waltz (foot lift).
The principle of breathing
So when do you need to inhale and exhale in dance (the principle of breathing)? Generally speaking, you can learn from life breathing method, just no one careful experience. Now we do a deep inhalation and then exhale, you will find a natural phenomenon - the thorax of the enlargement and narrowing; in addition, in life we need to carry heavy objects or need a lot of strength, will not be able to help but take a deep breath, well now I think you will understand it?
Third, the thorax needs to be enlarged
In the dance in general, when our thorax can be enlarged (the body's infinite expansion) - inhalation, and then naturally enter a natural relaxation phase - exhalation. This principle is present throughout the dance, and can be said to be the beauty of the dance in terms of freedom of release and relaxation. If you still do not understand, then I will say a few more aspects, and to be your thinking:
Physiological respiration and body dynamics
Dance in the ? Qi? is the artistic projection of human physiological respiration in body dynamics. Classical Chinese dance is not only based on the Qi? as a kind of driving force for external gestures, but also pays more attention to the Qi? It also emphasizes on the experience and imitation of the flowing form of Qi. Dance form training is the beginning of cultivating the artistic expression ability of dance, through training can make the natural form of a person become an expressive artistic form, ? Qi and physical training is closely linked. Such as on the long, wide spread of the body movement needs to inhale, and sinking movements should be exhaled, leg movements need to lift the air to reduce the burden. Many rhythmic movements need to stand waist lifting cross; some movements are fast and large amplitude need to inhale; by? The movements from the "punch" to the "dive" are The movement of the legs should be exhaled to lighten the load. leaning? The evolution of the dance shape need to exhale, and so on. The "shocker" lifts up, and the "qi" sinks down. This is an illustration of how the "qi" is used in the dance. The relationship between qi and dance expression of emotion. The relationship between the dance and the expression of emotions, such as sadness when the gas is a long suction and short spit, rhythm to the side of the lift; joy when the gas is fast suction and fast spit, rhythm to the horizontal wringing, flash, point-based; anger when the gas is a short suction and long spit, rhythm to the standing round and wringing, tilting-based and so on.
breath and emotionally consistent
How to make the inner breath and emotionally consistent, so that the expression of emotion in a particular action, need to be seriously explored in practice. The body movement in the repression, weight and urgency, etc.? force? The shape of the body is actually made up of the breath. qi It is controlled by qi. Force Through? Qi. to demonstrate that? The chi? And then it goes along with it. The power of the force. to show. The movements of classical Chinese dance emphasize on the leveling of qi, the evenness of qi, the stability of qi in order to seek the stability of the mind, the stability of the heart, and the strength of the body. At the same time, it is also emphasized that the force originates from the waist and reaches the tip (end of the limb), and the feeling of inner breathing must start from the middle part of the body and continue through to the eyes and arms. From this, it is not difficult to understand that in the rigid-flexible modern dance (especially in the tango), ? Qi? is even more consistent throughout.
In the modern dance where the body swing related to the ? Waltz, Vienna Waltz, Foxtrot and Quickstep are dances related to ascending and descending. If you want to master the ascending and descending, you must master the use of breathing and exercise.
Many dancers in the practice of dance, often ignoring the importance of breathing, so that the dance out of the dance is often the first action after the breath, the lack of intrinsic motivation; the performance of the dance and the action of the lack of both? Strength? and lack of? Lightness? and the lack of lightness, and the lack of flexibility. Flexibility? and the movement is not proportional.
For example:
Waltz right turn step 1, 2, 3, if the use of breathing is good, from the first step down to start, to achieve the storage and after the hair (energy suitable for release) try to exhale and relax, so that the body's center of gravity down (forward and downward) sliding out of the body began to swing and swing out of the right foot, followed by the inhalation. Use the body's guidance and the residual force from the first swing to swing the left leg, then slowly continue to inhale to expand the chest, the body upward? Stretching. The third step is easily completed. In this way, in this case of one breath and one inhalation and one relaxation and one tightness, both the strength and weakness of the force can be revealed, and the basic right turn step can be completed naturally.
The basic steps of the waltz, such as the right turn step, left turn step, right rotation step and so on. Each bar of music has three steps, and each of the three steps has a lift, and for each lift, a breath is applied. The descender is the exhalation, the ascender is the inhalation, and the derived fancy steps have 4-5 or even 6 steps in a measure of music, but no matter how many steps there are, there can only be one ascending and descending step in a measure of music. However, no matter how many steps there are, there can only be one lift in a bar of music. Similarly, there can only be one breath in a bar of music. Note also that the descent and exhalation is only one step, while the ascent and inhalation (holding the breath in or out) can last for more than one step.
Foxtrot's basic steps such as the feather step
Left turn step and three straight steps, etc., there are three steps in each bar of music, and there is a lift for each of the three steps (where the lift and the drop are naturally occurring); a lift is accompanied by a breath. The requirements are: exhale when the first step descends, and inhale when the end begins to rise. The second step makes the body continue to rise due to inhalation, and the third step begins to exhale at the end to make the body fall.
(To put it bluntly: it is necessary to perform ? expansion? Inhale when you need to do so, and exhale when you need to do so. release? then exhale.)
The relationship between breathing and ascending and descending
The principle is to exhale when descending, and inhale at the beginning of the ascent and the continuation of the ascent. Exceptions to this are rare, and if you don't ascend or descend, you'll mostly use the ? The method of holding the breath is very simple.
The most difficult part of the Foxtrot is the descent
If the descent is not smooth, the ascent will not be even and speedy. The main point of descending is that you need to do it without any haste, so you need to regulate your breathing to control the movement effectively. To control the breathing, only the use of Dantian internal breathing to control the perfect (abdominal compartmentalization mode reverse breathing), otherwise the dancers in the dance feather step, because the first step can not be used to exhale relaxation, so that the dance is not the appropriate decline and the body forward swing, have to use the legs to drive the body to move, thus losing the charm of the foxtrot dance.
