Key points of the basic skills of jive dancing:
1. The elasticity of jive dancing does not lie in jumping up, but in the elasticity produced by falling like a "free fall". The elasticity of the jive does not spring upward, but downward. The repetition of the elastic basic step is reflected in the support after falling, rather than the process of falling. Note: (The beats of jive are in even numbers, the same as samba)
2. When tapping the foot in jive, the foot you tap is the power foot. It does not support the center of gravity, so don’t Let him borrow the force. We need to make the supporting foot stand upright, then produce a free fall, and then quickly stand up to complete the action. Note: (When tapping the foot, keep the power leg bent and cannot step straight)
The focus of denim is on bouncing, with a little left and right swing. For reducing leg fat, the basic exercises of denim are simple and easy. And effective. Practice bouncing in four directions, front and back, left and right, and changing your feet as a simple exercise in basic skills. After you become proficient, pay attention to the rhythm to be as fast as possible, but at the same time keep your knees high. You can use a step-by-step method to increase the speed.
When practicing the first rhythm, bend your left leg and lift your foot to the left first. Note that the pace here is different from the "toes do not leave the ground when moving" method of Rumba and Cha Cha, but the soles of the feet are flat and raised. When rising, land with toes first. Use the elasticity of the arch of the foot and the elasticity of the knees to step down. When stepping down, relax the knees and straighten the legs naturally. Note that the heels will drop a little, but not completely.
When you get to the second rhythm, follow with your right foot. When you land, pop up your left foot. Bend the knee of your left leg. Jump up and raise your knee as high as possible. At this time, the knee of your right leg will go through the process of bending to straightening. In this state, the left leg is quickly straightened, the left foot is lowered, and the toes of the left foot are on the ground when the heel of the right foot is lowered. Then stand with your legs straight.
Extended information:
Many foreign players pay more attention to the height and speed of the bounce, which requires dancers to show strong body control ability. In terms of speed and amplitude, This will make the cowboy look more cheerful and fast.
The center of gravity of this method is much higher, two inches above the navel, roughly to the position of the stomach. At this time, it will feel like there is a rubber band hanging at the center of gravity, with a stone tied below. As the center of gravity vibrates up and down, the rubber band is constantly shortening and lengthening, shortening and lengthening again.
