Slow Four Teaching
Same as Slow Three, as we can think from its name, the rhythm of Slow Four is four beats to a bar, and its accent is on the first and third beat, or the first beat. Unlike slow three, where the accent is on the first beat, and since it is an odd numbered beat, the accent rotates on the left and right feet, slow four is different, since it is an even numbered beat, the accent is always on the left. Of course, this is for boys, but for girls, the accent is always on the right foot.
There are two basic ways to jump in the slow four: one is to jump in equal intervals; the other is to jump in two slow and two fast. Whichever way you jump, you have to follow certain principles.
Slow four is a slow rhythm of the dance, the expression, out of the should be calm, graceful and elegant.
Unlike the slow three, the undulation of the slow four is not obvious, can be said to be no, and four beats a bar. For spinning, it's clearly more fluid than the slow three.
Overall, the slow four is much easier to dance than the slow three. That's why there are always more slow fours than slow threes at the ballroom.
When the slow four of the dance music is slower, we can use equal interval dance method, according to the rhythm of the dance music, four beats to a small section, each beat to take a step. As for the dance posture and so on, are the same as the slow three is the same. When walking straight, the first two beats can be slightly larger, and the last two beats can be adjusted. Note that for boys, the accent is always on the left foot (girls on the right).
When the rhythm of the dance music is a little fast, you can use two slow two fast dance method, that is, "slow - slow - fast - fast". The slow beat contains two beats of the dance, and the fast beat contains one beat. In this way, a bar actually contains six beats. Beginners can dance the first slow four, easy to learn, good dance. Of course, the second way of dancing has a strong sense of rhythm and more patterns.

The standard grip
The standard grip is an important means of forming a holistic structure of the two sides of the **** dance. In the dance plays a decisive role that can not be ignored. It is not only related to the beautiful shape, but also affects the transmission of information, the stability of the center of gravity, the correctness and unity of the method of exertion, as well as the use of special techniques and a series of other issues, so it must not be taken lightly.
The ideal standard grip, should produce such an effect - **** dance two sides are integrated. Teachers abroad have used such an image to express this sense of wholeness - "one body, two heads and four legs". This Western-style humor can indeed stimulate our inspiration and enable us to more accurately grasp the core of the problem.
In modern dance, the standard grip is the same for all styles except tango. The main points are as follows:
Feet, feet parallel and close together, never "eight" open; right toe to the partner's feet between; center of gravity in the forefoot ① but can not lift the heel.
Hands, the male partner's right hand palm inward, supporting the female partner's left shoulder swollen bone lower edge; from the tip of the elbow until the fingertips to form a straight line, in a diagonal shape of the natural inclined hanging, five fingers together, not to protrude from the wrist, and even more so, not to use the back of the hand to control the dance; the big arm is basically flat and oval shoulder spread.

The first thing you need to do is not to lie back or lift up your stomach.
The body, from the diaphragm, until the thighs stop, the formation of the two sides of the micro-adhesion; in the center of gravity upward, open the "interval" based on the two sides of the search for a sense of "synergy".
