The waltz swing technique
The swing movement and the turning movement cannot be separated, and the relationship between the two is that of an engine and a tire. Without the turning movement, the swing movement will be hard and unbalanced, and the completion of the appearance of the swing should be accomplished through the movement of the center of the body, as well as the movement of the legs, the hips, and the shoulders and the arms to achieve the technique of the time movement, in order to complete the light and graceful movement. The technique is to complete the light and elegant dance with power.
The logic of the dancers will think that the upper body is not moving is a good phenomenon, but the limbs are free, and the cooperation and coordination between the dance partners can not be bound, the body turn movement can make the limbs muscles can produce relaxation, so before swinging must be done before the body turn movement of the preparatory work; the double knees are loosely curved, from the legs above the body slightly forward to support, the shoulders are relaxed and flat, the back and waist is slightly tightened, the body weight is placed on the palms. The weight of the body is placed on the palms of the hands.
After you start to move, the turn referred to in the steps is the turn between the feet, not the turn of the body, and special attention must be paid to this point, especially for women, who are almost exclusively moving forward and backward, with the turn being done by the men.
The waltz is the earliest of the ballroom dances and by far the most vital form of self-indulgent dance, also known as the round dance. The word "waltz" originally comes from the Old German word Walzer, which means "rolling," "spinning," or "sliding. ". This captures the basic components of waltz movement in a nutshell.
The word "waltz" is thought to have been coined around 1780, while the 3-beat "pong-chong-chong" rhythm of the round dance was popular in Europe long before that, especially among the peasants of Bavaria, Germany, and the Austrian region of Vienna; and as for the waltz-type of dance music, it was played at the royal balls of Hapsburg as early as the 17th century. Hapsburg royal balls.
Although the waltz has long been popular in the rural areas of this form of self-indulgent dance, but it can become the urban population of the dance fashion, but there are its social changes and artistic interests and other aspects of the reasons. 18th century the French Revolution and its intense influence in European countries, the rise of the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of the working class on a large scale, etc., so that people on the self-indulgence of the requirements of the style of dance has undergone tremendous changes. The style of self-indulgent dance has changed dramatically. The once popular Minuet and Cavort were eliminated because of their stereotypical and formal styles. The waltz, with its relaxed, natural body and elegant demeanor, became a more self-indulgent way for people, especially the French, to enjoy themselves.
But just as anything new is inevitably met with conservative disapproval, the waltz's rapid rise in popularity was naturally opposed and hindered for a variety of reasons. In addition to the Church that it is immoral, uncivilized, even vulgar and evil, because men and women hold close to each other and rotate too quickly, there are also people who make a living by teaching minuet and other court dances who see it as a thorn in their side. The waltz's easy-to-learn and free-flowing character attracts a wide range of dancers, often as long as the side to watch for a while to learn. This dance does not need to be like the minuet, non-mastery of a large number of complex patterns to debut.
In conservative Britain, the waltz was even hated and feared by many. Listening to the ramblings of the press at the time, you can know a little about it:
"Nowadays, the old ladies dance around the room in a gust of wind, while their daughters, clad in gowns, jump and pirouette to the sound of the waltz; the old ones form a long queue like a tide, and the young ones are uninhibited and relaxed; they follow their husbands with a quick step, leaving no mystery of the bridal night. little of the mystery of the bridal night. We were pained to see that at the English court dance last Monday, that French nastiness called the waltz was introduced for the first time ...... It is enough to see such erotic dances with entangled limbs and close bodies, and to see the fine traditions of dignity and subtlety which distinguish English women so grossly distorted ......When this kind of lewd performance was confined to prostitutes and lewd women, we did not think it was worth making a fuss about, but now that it is being imposed on the upper classes by the unscrupulous members of that respectable social class, we feel it is our duty to remind parents not to send their daughters to such a deadly plague! ...... We believe that it is no longer tolerated by any moral English social class. No one who has been out at night can fail to see, with uneasy feelings, the sight of our sisters and wives seized by strangers, subjected to arbitrary embraces, and jogging round a tiny room."
This rant, however, made Europeans even more enthusiastic about the waltz. The bourgeoisie in the immediate aftermath of the French revolution fully embraced the waltz. It is estimated that more than 700 dance halls sprang up in Paris alone at the end of the 18th century.
After 1834, the waltz spread to the United States. Its first stop in America was Boston, and it spread to New York and Philadelphia, where legend has it that it also made high society freeze. But it wasn't long before the waltz took root in American social circles by the mid-19th century.
The popularity of the waltz was inextricably linked to the ease and fluidity of its music, which was composed by two Austrian composers, Franz Lerner and John Lerner. Two great Austrian composers, Franz Lerner and Johann Steffens, contributed to the waltz's popularity. The contributions of two great Austrian composers, Franz Lerner and Johann Steffens, are an important part of the waltz dance history books. The Venetian waltz created by them is an important part of the history of the dance. The standard tempo of the Venetian waltz, created by them, is a fast tempo of 55-60 beats per minute, which is perfect for modern tastes.
The contribution of the Americans to the development of the waltz lies in the Boston Dance and the Hesitation Dance, two variations of the waltz. The former has a slow rhythm, long steps, and more movements in the front and back directions; the latter is slower, with 3 beats to 1 step.
Experts believe that the waltz contribution to the development of the whole ballroom dance, the most important is to make people gradually realize the fact that only natural body movements can last. This enabled ballroom dancing to finally move away from the necessity of using the five positions of the feet in classical ballet, as was the case in the 19th century.
The waltz originated as a fast peasant dance in northern Austria, entered the Vienna Imperial Palace in the late 17th century as a court dance, and then developed into the oldest social dance. Waltz according to the speed of differentiation into two kinds of fast and slow, people call the fast waltz Vienna waltz, and not crowned with the word "Vienna" that is, the slow waltz, which is evolved from the Vienna waltz. As a three-step waltz, its basic steps for a beat to jump one step, each bar three beats to jump three steps, but there is also a bar to jump two steps or four steps of a specific dance.
The two types of waltzes, fast and slow, are based on spinning, and are therefore called "round dances". Waltz because of the slow speed, in addition to more rotation, but also evolved more complex and colorful dance steps, many of which are in step with the tango, foxtrot and quickstep dance steps of the same name are basically the same, just different rhythms and styles. Plus the four major skills in the waltz to get a comprehensive and full embodiment, so it is listed as the first dance to learn the national standard dance.
The waltz steps run smoothly in the slow three-beat dance music, because there are obvious lifting and lowering actions such as a continuous wave, coupled with gentle and dexterous tilting, swinging, inverted and rotating movements and a variety of beautiful shapes, making it both solemn and elegant, stretching and generous, but also gorgeous and colorful, floating in the fairy's unique charm. Therefore, it enjoys the reputation of "after the dance".
The waltz is slow, but it is difficult to practice the basic steps first, and then learn various changes, patterns and combinations and routines.
The pioneer of the waltz was Boston, which was introduced from the United States to England around 1874 by the influential "Boston Club". However, it was only after 1922 that the waltz became as popular as the tango. Strangely enough, men and women danced one after the other, not like we do today. Immediately after WWI the waltz took much more shape, and in 1921 her basic steps were laid down as: foot out, foot in, and foot together. When Victor Sylvester won the championship in 1922, the British waltz program consisted only of a right turn, a left turn, and a turn (less than what beginners learn today.) The waltz improved considerably from 1926 to 1927, when the basic movements became: out, side, and side.
As a result, many variations became possible, and the Royal Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) standardized and codified these steps, many of which are still danced today.
