Cowboy dance basic points
Cowboy dance is a fast-paced, energy-consuming dance, belongs to one of the Latin dance program, the following is my share of the basic points of the cowboy dance related to content, take a look at it together.
Cowboy dance basic points
Point one: the elasticity of the cowboy dance does not lie in the upward jump, but in the production of "free fall" like the elasticity generated by the decline. The elasticity of the cowboy dance is not upward, but downward.
Point two: the cowboy dance in the double beat, the same as the samba.
Point 3: The beat of the elastic basic step is shown in the downward support, not the process of falling.
Point 4: When pointing the foot, the foot that points is the power foot, he does not support the center of gravity, so do not let him to borrow power, we want to let the support foot upright, and then produce a free-fall style of descent, and then quickly hold up to complete the action.
Point 5: When pointing the foot, the power leg stays bent, not stepped straight.
Cowboy dance different styles of jumping
In China's cowboy teaching, cowboys have two styles of teaching method is obviously different, the skills are very different, jump out of the feeling is completely different. Some people pay a lot of attention to the middle left and right swing in the cowboy dance, and do not care about the bouncing . height, which would allow the dancer to add more self-expression in it. This is a technique that was valued more in Latin dance than in an earlier stage than it is now, giving it a playful and relaxed feel. The center of gravity of this dance method is basically in the dantian position, about one inch below the navel, and there is basically no up and down of the center of gravity during the dance. Like hanging a stick at the center of gravity, it swings from side to side, adding a little bounce in the legs. In contrast, many players in Western countries pay more attention to the height of the bounce and sense of speed, which requires the dancer to show strong body control, in terms of speed and amplitude, so that the cowboy will look more cheerful and rapid. This is one of the more respected styles at the moment, as it requires dancers to have better stamina, flexibility in the ankles, and more coordinated control of the body. Since it speeds up the movement for a split second, it is not able to present a larger swing angle or add a lot of self-expression. The center of gravity in this way is quite a bit higher than the first method at two inches up from the navel, roughly to the stomach. This will give the impression that in the center of gravity hanging a rubber band, tied to a stone below, with the center of gravity of the up and down quiver, and make the rubber band in the continuous shortening and lengthening, and then shorten and then lengthen.
When it comes to which method is more suitable for amateur learners, I think the first, earlier method of increasing the swing is probably more popular. However, the second method can be used when practicing the basic steps, if physical strength allows, which will have a quick boost to stamina and will effectively reduce fat and make one's body lighter. And the music is a little slow to increase the expressive power, this time you can increase the swing, that is to say, a combination of the two ways.
