The so-called basic skills of jazz dance, is to use the body of the circle, rhythm, power control and the combination of the waves of the various parts of the body, the following I will tell you how you can learn to dance well jazz.
The first step in learning jazz dance: practicing good dance fundamentals
1 leg press
This is the most basic training in the basic training of the dance, respectively, the pressure of the front, the side, the back of the leg. The practice of leg press helps to open the ligaments of the leg joints of the students. When pressing the leg, pay attention to the leg joints of the upright, the back of the foot to open outward taut, and keep the upper body of the upright. Press down until there is no gap between the upper body and the legs. Individual students ligaments are too tight, in the process of leg press, do not be demanding must be pressed down, maintain the correct posture, over time can lengthen the ligaments, to meet the requirements. Pay special attention to the hips to be correct. When pressing the side leg and the back leg, students are most prone to hips and oblique hips, which need to be corrected in time. When pressing the side leg, the hand on the same side holds the handle bar, the other arm is close to the ear, close to the leg and stretch as far as possible to lengthen the side waist. When pressing the back leg, be careful to keep your shoulders flat, keep your neck from scrunching, brace your head so it doesn't fall off, and stretch back.
2 shoulder press
This is an exercise to open the shoulder ligaments. When you press your shoulders, keep your arms straight on the bar. The distance between the legs is slightly equal to shoulder width. Relax your head and spine, and feel the shoulder ligaments lengthen as you press down.
3 Push Back Combination
The goodness of the back of the foot varies from person to person, and most of it depends on the innate factors, but you can't neglect the acquired training. Before training, from the toes to the whole big foot back to be active; training, hands on the handle bar, chest up, abdomen and buttocks, feet together to stand, first from the single foot back training. 1-2 beat single foot heel up, five toes tightly grasping the ground 3-4 beat toes taut, push to the wall, so that the whole instep taut into a crescent-shaped 5-8 beat change the other foot, the same action Double back exercises are also the same. Young students in doing this kind of training, attention is not focused, easy to look down to see their own and other people's movements, in the do push the back of the foot, the feet are easy to open, the back of the foot can not be pushed up, the need to always remind and standardize the action.
4 kick the back leg
hands on the handle bar small eight part of the station, the knees should be taut, head up and look straight ahead. In the process of kicking the back leg, the upper body to remain immobile, do not turn back sideways, crotch can not be loose, the back of the foot and knee should be taut. Never lean forward. If in the repeated emphasis, students still do not do in place, you can first single contact control back leg that is, hands on the handle bar, lift one leg backward, correct the students' posture, and then excessive to kick the back leg.
5 Split Jump
is a jump combination with hands on the handle bar that prepares the student to learn the middle jump. In this jump, both feet should be opened at the same time, one in front of the other. During the opening process, straighten the insteps and straighten the knees, and the higher the jump, the more open the legs are. When you land, close your feet together quickly and land with both feet together.
6 Big Kick
It is the training to develop the strength and openness of the legs. Whether it's the front leg or the side leg, keep the upper body upright, the middle part of the body clenched, and keep your eyes looking forward. During the kicking process, it is also important to keep the instep and knee straight. Many students try to reach forward in order to touch their legs when kicking. When they do this, their necks retract, their heads go forward, and their knees are bent, which is very unsightly. Therefore, before kicking the legs, tell them that it doesn't matter if they don't kick high enough, the most important thing is to maintain the correct posture. Under this premise, with hard practice, the legs will be kicked higher and higher and the ligaments will be stretched longer and longer. When the students make small progress, we should give them timely appreciation and encouragement. Some students often practice on their own at home, and the teacher can obviously feel the changes and improvements in the classroom, then it is more appropriate to give praise, otherwise it will frustrate the student's motivation to learn. In addition to the body and legs to pay attention to, the two arms should not be ignored. In the process of kicking the legs, make sure that the arms are flat and not relaxed.
7 splits
Favorable for stretching students' leg ligaments. When training, pay attention to the instep can not be relaxed. We can train in this order: 1 left foot in front of the split leg, hands holding the left foot, control 1-2 minutes, then the leg does not move, the body backward. If you have basic knowledge, you can hold the ground with your right hand and control the back leg with your left hand. 2 Left foot in front of the vertical fork does not move, the body turns to the right at the same time to change the hips, into a horizontal fork. The backs of the feet should not fall to the ground. Stand up with your upper body and the back of your feet, then lower your upper body to the ground and extend your arms forward. Stay on your back for 1-2 minutes. 3 Without moving the horizontal fork, turn to the right and turn into a vertical fork with the right foot in front of you. Repeat the movement.
8 Jumping combinations
Train students to jump. It can be developed from a simple one, two, five small jumps to a comprehensive composite small jumps that cross each other. During the hops, keep your knees straight and push the backs of your feet outward. When landing, toes first, landing should be light, upper body should not rock back and forth. Land in a half squat, tense your upper body downward, and clench your hips.
