Double Latin dance basic step teaching

In the pairing of the pair, either forward or backward should keep the men and women's arms of the moderate bending, to form an arc. Take the hands of both sides as the center, and keep the distance from the hands to the elbows unchanged in the process of moving. Be careful no matter how to jump, when two people have a point of contact, from the point of contact to the back is a circular arc, so that you can drive to the other side.

Second, the principle of exertion

There are 2 kinds of exertion in double pairing: buckle and squeeze. Buckling: the force of buckling is used when no step or movement is produced. The force of the "snap" is generated from the back, and is an outward force from both men and women. The power of the clasp is used when the direction of the force generated remains the same and when it is relatively stationary. Squeeze: This is an inward direction for both men and women. Produced with the midsection and one side of the body. The force of accumulation is produced when the direction of movement changes. Note: The direction of movement referred to here is that the direction of the two people is not the same; if the direction is the same then it is not necessary to turn into a squeeze. The force of the squeeze is only for a moment, it does not last, and after the squeeze it quickly changes back to the force of the snap.

Three examples

Take the boy as a reference to illustrate. When the boy puts his hand on the girl's back, the girl power backward, feel the boy's hand is a wall, the girl is leaning against the wall. When a boy puts his hand on a girl's forehead (shoulder or collarbone), the girl's direction of force is toward the boy. When the boy places his hand on the right side of the girl's body, the girl's force is directed to the right and the boy's force is directed to the left. The direction of force generation is always opposite for men and women.

Fourth, the degree of force

The degree of force should be appropriate, in order to let go of one of the hands and the other party does not shake as appropriate. In the process of dance movement always keep "buckle" or "squeeze" two kinds of strength evenly, the strength of the change can not be too big. The force is only a tool to convey signals to the other party, not to control the partner. Therefore, it is not necessary to have a lot of power, and both partners must be able to stand on their own center of gravity, and not just rely on their partner's power to stand still.

The crotch is one of the iconic movements of Latin dance, and is found in all four styles of dance, except for bullfighting, where it expresses the femininity of the female body to its fullest extent, and it is hard to imagine Latin dance, such as Rumba, without it.

Crotch

The crotch is one of the iconic movements of Latin dance, except for the bullfighting, the other four dances have crotch movements, which expresses the female big softness to the extreme, it is hard to imagine what Latin dance without crotch movements, such as the Rumba will be like.

As the saying goes, "Seeing is believing", but it's not true, the eyes also have to deceive themselves, such as the hips of the Latin dance, because of its left and right back and forth swing, it is considered to be twisted out, that would be a big mistake. The hips swinging back and forth is the surface phenomenon, not the inner essence.

What are the characteristics and considerations of Latin dance choreography for children and adolescents?

Nowadays, there are a lot of children dancing and performing in Latin Dance, and rehearsal is a big headache because children are always disobedient. Therefore the arrangement of the dance will need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of small children, need to be considered well in advance.

Choose 3-5 minutes of clear rhythm, slower music, if two children perform, it is recommended to use the rumba or cha-cha-cha. If you are dancing in a group, you can use cha-cha or cowboy.

For group dances, try to change formation only once, and also use the principle of proximity, so that it is easier to remember. They will be able to string together the basic steps, combined with the ups and downs of the music to change, in the climax of the music you can choose a more expressive action, or choose a few shapes. The movements don't need to be too much, they need to be fine-tuned one by one, and constantly adjusted.

For duo dance, you need to choose a greater range of action, movement also needs to be more, so as to look on the field is not monotonous. You can also choose more complex combinations of movements, and especially practice more open movements and shapes, which are more likely to be colorful.

But for group dances with a large number of people, it's best to keep each person's space small to avoid disorganization and to make it easier to train.

There are three general forms of choreography for children's Latin group dances. One is to have each pair of children dance a complete set of routines, and to enhance the effect with a combination of changes in the formation. The other is the combination of a combination of routines, combined with a combination of pairs of routines. There are also a variety of five sets of combinations can be interspersed with a better stage effect, which is more suitable for older children with a certain level of skill to dance.
