Misunderstandings of learning street dance
I believe that from the history of the street dance, we can see the source of the style of the street dance: originated from the life of the poor people as well as people's emotions the most primitive expression.
If you've seen documentaries about indigenous peoples in Africa or South America, you'll feel that their dance is quite similar to the style and way of street dance: stepping on drums, jumping around a fire...
Dance, as the most primitive and direct expression of human emotions, can be said to be accessible to everyone. As long as we can play the string in our heart,
we can dance. So street dance, as the type of dance that retains the most originality, hides itself inside our bodies.
I've seen many people whose dancing skills have skyrocketed once street dance was introduced to them for this very reason. Despite this, why do so many people find street dance so difficult?
Myth 1: Fear of making a fool of yourself and not daring to dance; This is the first hurdle for beginners. There is no beauty or ugliness in street dance, as long as it is something from your heart,
is the language of your body, there is no ugly. Believe in yourself and have a little more confidence.
Myth 2: As long as the action, not the music; big taboo ah! When practicing, you must follow the music, don't deliberately imitate the movements,
Use 80% of your energy to listen to the music, and give the remaining 20% to your body, provided that your body is already familiar with the rhythm of the music.
Listen to the music and pay attention to how your body feels, so that your body remembers the music.
Myth 3: Practicing blindly with your eyes closed, without looking in the mirror; How do you know how to improve when you don't know what your movements look like?
Looking at each movement from different directions and thinking it doesn't look good, think about why? How can I improve it to look good? There must be a mirror!
Myth 4: Pursue only the technique, not the feeling; this is a mistake that is easy to make after practicing to a certain stage.
In order to compare the difficulty of the movement, the most core feeling and rhythm of street dance is lost;
breaking power-move is an extreme. More on this later.
Myth 5: confuse disco and hiphop; most of the people who go to disco hall are street dancers,
at that time, if you are used to the disco dance, dancing to the street dance will be unorthodox. disco is to twist the waist and hip,
hiphop requires that the whole body to move.
Myth 6: Once you learn it, you will forget it; dance should be practiced furiously.
It will fail. (Tip: Try breaking your run into 3, technique-free moves to get the scene warmed up, then get yourself into BATTLE.)
3. Never do any trick moves that you are not skilled at! This is a BATTLE not a practice, if you fail, seem to come in slow,
look lazy, look like you don't want to be on the heel point, is a 100% chance you'll lose that round, follow the steps you're already familiar with.
4. Never be a double-time windmill! There are a lot of people, especially ladies, are very sensitive to do a windmill or not, or did a windmill,
have to stand up and provoke, and then in a crouch to do one, sometimes simple is more important, in is out! When you use windmills to make the field expand, you try to avoid double windmills.
The crowd sometimes doesn't care if you have a good comment. The reason why you want to avoid something like that is because it's very physical,
and then when you finish your second half, you don't have the same look that you had at the beginning and your look drops.
5 Never follow a move with the same move! I've seen a lot of people try to outrun or do bigger moves,
based on the moves their opponents are doing. This is a waste of time approach. If you learn to do your opponent's move and maybe don't do it well,
and then your opponent is using a more powerful trick move based on that move, that's simply copying each other's moves!
(Tip: When you want to do mutual copying it's best to do it when you're ready to ridicule or fool your opponent, and then you have to be pretty sure to give them a bomb!)
6. Talk less and concentrate more! A lot of people use most of their time to talk crap to their opponents and then have no extra time to show what they are made of.
This can make you lose badly in a 1-on-1 match, and if you lose no one will remember you as good, everyone will just remember that you talked a lot of crap!
(Respect the rules: some opponents get easily riled up and then lose focus and then you can have a great match)
7. Based on strategic form, not movement! I've won a lot of matches not because I'm a good b-boy but because I have a good mind.
One must learn to be a spectator, so that one learns to look at the match from an outside perspective,
and then make the right choices when your opponent is doing skillful moves in the center of the field, but it's easy to ruin you by thinking too much about it,
As BRUCE Sensei says, "Don't think. Feel it!"
8. If it's a competition, let him be known! A lot of people go into the center of the court and do a bunch of moves, but the opponent doesn't know what you're doing
and then you're not doing anything at all. When you go into the center of the ring you have to let your opponent know that you're signaling a BATTLE,
let him know that you're not messing with him, take it seriously or you're like smoking a cigarette and not inhaling the tobacco! Always take the BATTLE seriously and then make it clear to your opponent,
Your opponent will know that you want to match from making eye contact, as well as making the proper moves. 9. Always keep your eyes on the point! Whether you're practicing, BATTLE, or performing,
one person always needs to remember where they're moving. I mean don't come out TOP-ROCK to this crowd, but by the time the trick move comes around you no longer know where you are going.
You should always try to keep your movements all in one direction. You can do better from always being at a point when you practice, like facing a wall, facing a lamp. A point on the wall,
this can help you with all your movements.
10.Learn to accept your shortcomings! The worst thing in the world is when you refuse to admit that you lost a BATTLE.The truth is that inside a BATTLE someone always loses,
If that someone is you, do what's best. Go home, go into your own lab, and get stronger before you come out! When I asked LIL LEP what made him beat
PENCILS (disposable headspins) he said that when he was in a tournament the other guy beat me with a headspin,
Then I went home and studied and practiced my weaknesses on my own and then when I fought that guy again, I won. Acknowledging your failures will make you stronger, add it to your habits and then it will give you motivation
