The difference between human ballroom dancing is complicated. To put it simply, there is a very important transitional stage in the process of the transformation of human dance form from labor form to art form, which is self-entertainment. Dance has formed many artistic forms through this kind of self-entertainment, among which the two main branches are: stage dance art and mass dance art. Social dance is a branch of mass dance art, and any kind of social dance of any nation in the world begins with people's self-entertainment dance activities.
Element one: duet. Modern ballroom dancing is a duet in principle, which needs communication, while solo dancing lacks the concept of communication. Group dance is the communication of many people, and duet is the most basic concept of dance communication. Therefore, the first element of modern ballroom dancing is that two people dance in the form of duet. The standard ballroom dance is a double dance of a man and a woman; According to the common phenomenon all over the world, there are many boys and girls dancing ballroom dancing. The expedient measure is that the same sex dances in pairs, but it is divided into a male step and a female step.
Element 2: communication position. At present, there are two types of social dance in the world: one is the grip, that is, two dancers hold each other with one hand and the other hand to form a group of dances, which is the type of modern dance. One is freestyle grip, that is, two dancers hold hands or form a group dance with one hand in a floating way, which is used in Nanjing mini-dance and Latin dance.
Element 3: Flow pattern. Social dance is a kind of flowing body language art, and the concept of flowing has two forms in the specific dance floor: one is to flow counterclockwise on the dance floor, and the other is to dance at a certain position on the dance floor. These two different forms of flow are important factors to distinguish different types of modern ballroom dancing.
Element 4: Structural form of basic steps. Any modern ballroom dance in the world has its own unique basic dance structure. There are many kinds of dances, such as Latin dance, and all kinds of dances have many movements in common. To distinguish samba, cha-cha or swing dance, the basic dance structure is a key distinguishing factor. Just like people. Men all look the same, women all look the same, but once the blood type is determined, everyone is different. Therefore, the basic dance structure is the blood type of each social dance, and the basic dance structure of each modern social dance is different.
To sum up, the number, position, process form and structure form of basic dance steps are the key elements to distinguish modern ballroom dancing, which is also the basic common sense of modern ballroom dancing.
