Cotillion Different kinds of dance, its basic footwork combination in the combination of step speed is different. It is generally divided into two main categories. Here is some information about the classification of cotillion that I have organized for your reference.
Cotillion Classification 1: average step class
A class of average step class: for example, slow three steps, fast three steps, waltz, Vienna waltz, Nanjing small pull dance, Beijing Ping Si dance and so on. This type of dance is characterized by a step in the dance music of a beat, of course, this step refers to the dance music in the regular step. On the whole, the pace of the dance is average.
Sorority Dance Classification 2: Fast and Slow Steps
The second category is Fast and Slow Steps: the combination of the basic steps of this type of dance is made up of fast and regular steps, or by the combination of regular and slow steps; some dances are even composed of fast, regular and slow steps. For example: in four steps, slow four steps, Latin dance, rumba, Oriental rumba, etc., are composed of two steps of the basic step combination; Dayu step dance, tango, foxtrot, is with three or more steps as the basic step form. In short, this type of dance, in the overall operation of the law of the step, the step of the step is fast and slow, rather than the average.
Step Distance: This is a spatial concept of linear measurement in the dance, it refers to the moment of positioning of each step in the step of social dance, the distance between the two feet (the distance between the two feet support point). Steps in ballroom dance are generally categorized as one step, half step, super step, minuet, and stance.
One step - based on the average Chinese physical constants, the usual one step, the distance between the two feet is 75 centimeters. Therefore, the step distance of one step in ballroom dancing is 75 centimeters.
Half step - the distance between the two feet is less than 40 centimeters, we call it half step.
Super step - the distance between the two feet is more than 75 centimeters, we call it super step.
Break - A step where the distance between the feet is less than 40 centimeters, and where you break the routine and move quickly, we call it a break.
Standing step - a step in which the feet are joined together, we call it a standing step.
The size of the step is a reflection of whether each step is in place, full and appropriate; secondly, it is related to the quality of the display of the steps before and after; and thirdly, it is related to the effect of cooperation between partners. Under normal circumstances, where the rotation, large angle change of direction, the step distance should be relatively small. This common sense to often read, become a subconscious skill is best. Sorority dance is the art of dance, not mechanical processing, the above data are reference standards, sorority dance practice, we must be specific circumstances specific treatment.
The direction of the step: this is a spatial concept in the dance step on the arc of the metric elements. He refers to the direction of change in the foot shape in social dance steps. Usually the toe, the heel, the inside of the foot, the outside of the foot as a reference point to change the foot shape. Whether the direction of the foot shape is correct or not, it directly affects the quality of the ballroom dance movement. Especially in the large angle rotation movement, the correct direction of the foot shape is the key factor of the rotation angle in place. Commonly used foot shape directions are straight step, horizontal step, cut step, buckle step.
Straight step - facing the line of dance, feet together, toes direction for the front, heel direction for the back. Keeping your feet in the same direction is a straight forward or straight backward step.
Cross-steps - A step that takes a straight step as a reference point and pans to the outside of the foot is called a cross-step. There is a left cross-step and a right cross-step.
Cutting step--Taking the straight step as a reference point, when moving forward, the foot shape of the action leg changes from the straight step form to the inside of the foot towards the forward direction of the dance step is called the cutting step. Generally, the angle of the foot shape change is 90 degrees, there are also two kinds of cut step.
Buckle step - with a straight step as a reference point, when moving forward or backward, the foot shape of the action leg changes from a straight step to a step with the outside of the foot facing forward, which is called a buckle step. The angle of change of the foot shape of the general snap step
