Often the hardest thing we have to do when we dance hip-hop is the feeling. So how can we practice this feeling?
Step 1: First of all, you must have several times more love for HIP-HOP than others.
Step 2: Go to your neighborhood music studio or video store and buy a CD or cassette of hip-hop dance music.
Step 3: Pick what you think is the best bass stereo around (to better practice your groove).
Step 4: Pick the CD you bought that makes your heart beat the hardest.
Step 5: Make the music as loud as you can and follow the thud of the music! Ta-da! Work on your shoulders (let your shoulders just shake back and forth); you'll find it boring at first, but they're the most important part of a hip-hop dance.
Step 6: Continue from the previous step and work on bouncing your legs and knees up and down.
Step 7: Follow the music and practice moving your left and right legs backward and forward one step at a time.
Step 8: Practice the flexibility of your hand joints (like waves from your finger tips to your shoulders, both right and left hand).
Step 9: Practice your toes. Follow the music and practice walking on your toes only, bouncing back and forth on your toes. This will take your senses to the next level as well. Be careful not to hit the ground on all sides of your feet while practicing this step.
Step 10: Combine all of the above steps and shake your body all over the place, and you'll have the basis for your hip-hop groove.
It's usually a good idea to have a large mirror to practice in when you're starting out. You will feel bored and tired when you start practicing. Because hip-hop is not a dance, but it is no less tiring, you must have the willpower to keep practicing. Some people may not feel it when practicing, but don't think that you don't have the talent. Many famous dancers feel it suddenly when they are walking or when they don't realize it. So you can also become the voice of hip-hop by practicing .
Sometimes when dancing . It doesn't matter if it's a dance? Or any kind of dance. I came up with an analogy yesterday. I think it's a good one. It's quite apt. haha
Dancing is like cooking soup (because I've been learning to cook lately haha) Dancing style is like all kinds of soups POPPIN is assumed to be seafood soup...LOCKIN is corn soup... and so on. And so on and so forth. When you see seafood in the soup, you know it's seafood soup (POPPIN). When you see corn in the soup, you know it's corn soup (LOCKIN). But no matter what kind of soup you're making. There's one thing in common. And that is to add "water"
You don't add water. No one will know it's soup, and it won't be soup at all.
And water? It's what we call a "feeling" groovin', a feeling of your own, and water is the basis of soup
Any kind of dance is the same as soup. Always add your own FEELING' first. It's like adding water. If all you have is poppin' it's like all you have is seafood. You've learned the technique and the vibrations. But you have no groovin', no feelin'. You forgot to add water. How do you make soup? If you keep thinking about seafood and not water. Then you'll never be able to make seafood soup~~
(Of course, you can make soup as long as it's liquid, but for the sake of convenience, I'm going to use the analogy of "water."
I'll tell you a story about Hana.
One day, there was a man named Hana. He brought out a bowl with nothing in it. Just seafood. Then he told everyone that it was seafood soup. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get it, but I'm sure you'll be able to get it! Everyone said: How can this be seafood soup ah. There's no soup. There's no soup. How can I taste it? Then A flower said: strange this is not seafood soup I thought seafood soup looks like this ~ ~ I also went to learn a bit to make the seafood more delicious ~ ~
Everyone has been with him said: seafood is quite tasty it. But you're trying to make soup! You need to add water! I'm not sure why I didn't add water to the soup. The seafood made in the delicious what is the use! Don't forget that you're making seafood soup! Later, Flora still didn't quite understand. He still didn't understand why it wasn't seafood soup. He still couldn't catch Key, and finally he said something .....
"A! I'm happy! I'm the most important thing."
I believe that from the history of street dance, we can see the origin of the style: from the life of the poor and the most primitive expression of people's emotions. If you have watched documentaries of indigenous peoples in Africa or South America, you will feel that their dances are quite similar to the style and manner of street dance: stepping on drums, gathering around a fire, jumping...
Dance, as the most primitive and direct expression of human emotion, can be said to be for everyone. As long as we can play the string in our heart, we can dance. Therefore, street dance, as a dance that retains the most primitiveness, she herself is hidden inside our bodies. It is for this reason that I have seen so many people whose dancing skills skyrocketed once they were introduced to street dance. Despite this, why do so many people find street dance so difficult?
Myth 1: Fear of making a fool of yourself and not daring to dance; This is the first hurdle for beginners. There is no beauty or ugliness in street dance, as long as it is something that comes from your heart and is the language of your body, there is no ugliness. Believe in yourself and be more confident.
Myth 2: As long as the action, not the music; big taboo ah! When practicing, you must follow the music, don't deliberately imitate the movements, use 80% of your energy to listen to the music, and give the remaining 20% to your body, provided that your body is already familiar with the rhythm of the music. Listen to the music, pay attention to your body's sensations, and let your body memorize the music.
Myth 3: practicing blindly with your eyes closed, without looking in the mirror; How can you know how to improve if you don't know what your movements look like? Look at each movement from different directions and think it doesn't look good, think about why? How to improve it to look good? There must be a mirror!
Myth 4: Only pursuing the technique, not pursuing the feeling; this is a mistake that is easy to make after practicing to a certain stage. In order to compare the difficulty of the action, the most core feeling and rhythm of street dance is lost; breaking power-move is an extreme. We'll talk about that later.
Myth 5: confuse disco and hiphop; most people who go to disco hall are street dancers, and at that time, if they are used to the disco dance, they will not be able to dance street dance. disco is to twist the waist and hips, and hiphop requires that the whole body should move.
Myth 6: Once you learn it, you will forget it; dance should be practiced furiously.
How to practice Thomas and the windmill
1. windmill
First of all, the left hand is supported in the left side of the navel, the feet open into a big shape, and then the left foot is raised, to the diagonal bottom of the force sweep. At the same time the left hand let go, let the left hand along the arm to the back of the order of the body on the ground (the body of the location in the back of the upper one-half of the place, if the location is too low, the windmill is not possible to turn up, you will be injured, so in your body to go down to the waist should be lifted up at the right time), when you go down to the body is no problem at this time you must be used with both hands to the body to support the original way of starting (but the feet try not to touch the ground as a result of the original way of starting). But the feet try not to touch the ground as a principle), and then follow the same steps to operate you can practice windmills.
The common problems of practicing windmill:
1: often fall down when starting: because your waist is not lifted up when starting, and the landing place is too low and lead to become.
2: then catch the circle when the foot will touch the floor: because you do not lift the waist, and then catch the circle when the body must be more than the foot first turn to the half circle, in order to catch.
The windmill should pay attention to:
1: waist should be raised
2: the start of the foot should be swept
3: the start of the hand to release the timing should be right
4: turn the windmill remember that the foot must be very open can not be closed
2 Thomas
Two feet open into a large zigzag shape, and then the left hand straight to support the ground. Sweep your left foot in the direction of your right heel, kick your right foot high in the direction of your head, and at the same time kick your left foot high in the direction of your head, so that both hands are on the ground, your feet are free in the air, your waist is straight, and then your left foot remains in the air, your right foot pulls back diagonally to the direction in which your right foot started, and your left hand moves away from the ground with only your right hand supporting your entire body.
To practice the focus of Thomas
1. arm strength, foot sweeping power and waist strength to be big enough
2. feet should also have the feeling of drawing a circle
3. to seize the time to change hands
Thomas pre-school preparation:
1, learn to positive and negative sweeping leg (i.e., the feet can be drawn in the floor in a circle) which can not be ignored because in the back of the action will be used.
2, have arm strength (i.e. triceps brachii, the exercise method can be supported by the back of both hands, the body facing the ceiling, and then do push-ups with both hands, so that you can increase the arm strength by practicing diligently for many days) this is a must learn. Thomas action decomposition: (to the right foot kick as an example)
①Standing, the right foot backward across, (across the amplitude of the best larger) and then the right hand on the ground.
②This next point is very important, it can be said that the whole Thomas can be successful is to see this step, the next action is to kick the leg, which should be applied to the previous practice of sweeping the leg, this time the right foot along the left side of the direction of the arc, wait until the right foot paddling and the body into a straight line, then kick the left foot with the right foot heel, for beginners, kicking should not be too hard to prevent the fall, wait until this action skillfully, then the right foot will be able to kick the left heel, the right foot should not be too hard to prevent the fall. When this action is skillful, you can increase the strength and speed, then the greater the better, because it can extend the time of the legs in the air, in addition, when kicking, the hips should be as low as possible, which will help not to fly to the half circle on the fall.
3 heel was kicked high, then immediately grounded with the left hand, remember, the left hand must be held up, can not be bent, which will be used to learn the arm strength, in addition, in the grounding of the left hand, the hands should not be too close to the interval, it is best to be able to parallel, which is also conducive to improving the quality of completion. At this time you have both hands grounded, feet in the air.
④This time you have learned the Thomas half circle, the next to say to send waist, that is, both hands on the ground, feet in the air, your waist to the front, of course, if the waist is not very good, then you have to exercise.
5 waist forward, we must learn to close the shoulders, because both hands on the ground when the feet in the air, the legs will rely on the front of the kicking leg kicking the force and follow the inertia to play a circle, at this time, you only need to hold on to the left hand, and then the right hand from the back of the position of the position in front of the position of the ground can be changed, this time, your posture with the same position as the push-ups. In addition, your right foot in the circle by inertia, to try to bring to the right direction, and to drive the left foot, so that your end will be very beautiful.
Introduction to street dance in full
1. Street dance introduction
Street dance, also known as HIP-HOP, which comes from the black street dance, so, another way to call it is STREET FUNK. Street dance because of its easy and casual, free individuality and the spirit of rebellion and rightly so by the young people's favorite, in the filtering out of the original street dance gangster flavor and exaggerated. Street dance rightfully ascended to the hall of elegance - gym. HIP-HOP is the general name of a variety of street dance, including mechanical dance, breakdancing and so on. It originated from the improvisational dance movements of American street dancers. These street dancers are mainly black or Mexican, most of these popular street dance originated in Brooklyn, New York, the United States, some black or Mexican children in the street all day long to dance for fun, the formation of a variety of factions, but also naturally in the dance they jumped on the development of a different
Early in 1992, the emergence of a kind of "originality HIP-HOP", "HIP-HOP" is a kind of "HIP-HOP", "HIP-HOP" is a kind of "HIP-HOP". In early 1992, an "in-situ hip-hop" emerged, which did not have the large movements and footwork of breakdancing, nor the gymnastic movements on the floor. Its unique style focuses on the coordination of the body, emphasizes the rhythm of the upper body and adds many head and hand movements. We are in the Mike? Jackson, Mariah Carey, and the Backstreet Boys. We can see this new style of dance in the MTV of Mike Jackson, Mariah Carey and the Backstreet Boys.
In the daily training of professional aerobics athletes, this HIP-HOP is often used to train the athletes' coordination, expressiveness and other comprehensive qualities, and sometimes also for performance. In the street dance in the external performance of fashion, sports intensity moderate, so it into the gym will become possible. However, street dance in the gym pays more attention to its safety, exercise value, health and personality expression in the choice of movements, so the practitioners consume fat while relieving mental stress. I personally think that hip-hop in the gym plays a more prominent role in regulating the psychology of the practitioners. This is why some people call it "the only sport that makes you train with a smile on your face".
The classification of street dance includes:
Hip hop is the most common type of dance, which has a large range of simple dance steps, and is able to show a complex sense of dance. It is popular because it is easy to learn and looks quite good when danced．
Mechanical dance, the use of muscles and joints of all parts of the body, with the beat of the music, coupled with their own rich imagination, to create a surprising dance. It is a more difficult type of street dance.
Breakdancing, also a more difficult type of dance, can be roughly divided into two types: using the hands, head, and body on the ground to rotate, known as the big floor; with the limbs on the ground to step out of the complex changes in the foot movements, coupled with tricky inverted, known as the small floor. Of course, dancing at the same time you can also feel free to go with the action you want to show
Free style this is a kind of out of the blue dance, it will be a variety of types of dance mixed together, as you wish to show, without the limitations of the style of dance, out of the norms of the general dance, it can be said to be a kind of personalized street dance
House along with the House music, the use of complex and magical step performance. The use of complex and magical pace performance of a dance, it can be added to the Latin dance twists, martial arts flip, tap dance basic steps and ballet circles, jumping up can be very elegant, but also can be quite wild.
Clothing tips:
Large T-shirts, floor-length multi-pocketed pants, baseball caps, tight tank tops, sneakers and so on can be your choice, but we have to remind you, in the pursuit of fashion, personalized at the same time, do not ignore the aesthetics of the, if it does not suit you, it looks just "strange" and not beautiful.
HIP-HOP beginner:
Can choose some HIP-HOP music to adapt to the rhythmic characteristics, and with the HIP-HOP rhythm of a few random dance. In learning with the coach, according to the coach to break down the action of the program, such as learning the lower limbs first, and then gradually add the upper limbs, head and other movements, first slow and then fast do not rush.
The fitness value of HIP-HOP:
The movement is explosive and strong, and it mostly focuses on the movement around the ring and small joints, so it can better improve the coordination ability of the practitioners, and make the body not often move to the small joints and small muscle groups can be fully exercised. In addition, the intensity of the exercise is moderate, with the effect of aerobic exercise, so that the practitioner in improving the main lung function at the same time, to achieve the purpose of weight loss. Practitioners can also choose different rhythmic music to adjust the intensity of the exercise according to their own physical condition and exercise base.
Reminders for novice street dancers
When learning street dance initially, it is important not to increase the amount of exercise all at once, but to progress step by step. Usually the first warm-up activities, the body's various joints, ligaments, especially the knee, ankle joints to be fully active, so as to avoid injuries when jumping; and then into a certain intensity and time of practice, preferably not less than 30 minutes; and finally using a variety of stretching exercises to make the body relax. This three steps to achieve a better slimming effect.
Because everyone's age, fitness and health are different, the intensity of exercise varies from person to person. "Exercise intensity" is generally expressed in "maximum heart rate", you should calculate the most appropriate heart rate for street dance:
If you are 25 years old, do not often participate in sports, physical fitness in general, the choice of street dance as a slimming exercise program, then your Your maximum heart rate is 220-25=195, and your exercise intensity (workout heart rate) should be (60-75%) x 195=117-146 (beats/minute).
