To dance international standard ballroom dance, you need to dance out the style and characteristics of each dance, and you also need a man's gentlemanly demeanor. The technique of ballroom dance already includes the requirement of "gentlemanly demeanor". In real life, the reason for the existence of gentlemanly behavior has gradually disappeared. Men no longer have the absolute advantage, and women no longer rely on this kind of favor and care. But in dance, men still dominate. Ballroom dance is led by men, and women follow men. Men have the power to decide the movements and routes. So in order to achieve the overall effect of the two, men must bear some additional responsibilities and obligations, allowing women to show off their beautiful dance moves.
Men must maintain a good central axis from head to toe at all times when standing. The head and neck should be extended upward to make the neck straight. The head should not be pushed forward. The back of the head, the back of the neck and the back should be aligned. A straight line.

International standard ballroom dance is a dance performed by a male and female pair, but it has different styles of performance. Men should be masculine and show their masculine beauty of being strong, imposing, and majestic. When dancing, you should dance with a manly spirit and show masculine beauty in body and bearing. No matter what kind of dance men need to be masculine, they cannot do without masculinity. Without masculinity, men cannot be masculine. Just as heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, all things have hardness and softness, and human beings have male and female. As the embodiment of masculinity, men must of course adopt a masculine posture. Only in this way can they appear brave and energetic. Every cell in their body exudes positive enthusiasm and shows their masculinity.
If you pay attention in a dance hall or class, it is not difficult to find that some men dance in a feminine way. Maybe they themselves did not realize that they had a feminine flavor. As bystanders, they discovered that they danced to be feminine and lost the masculinity of men. Teacher Yu Qianhua said: "When people learn Latin dance, they usually focus on the dance itself and ignore yourself. In other words, is your own gender male or female? If you don't integrate yourself into the dance and simply only learn the dance, Skills, many men will lose their original male character when dancing Latin dance, and become more feminine. The longer they learn, the more troublesome they will be. They will even imitate women's orchid fingers, and some even imitate the tone of voice. Women, etc. The charm of Latin dance is that men express their majesty and strength through dance, while women express themselves in a variety of ways." Whether it is modern dance or Latin dance, men usually focus on dance movements and techniques, while ignoring the appearance of femininity.
Why do men appear to be feminine? Maybe it's because he has a very slight degree of femininity in his daily life. They like to imitate women's movements and have a bit of a feminine personality, so they appear feminine in dancing. In addition, I did not learn dance from a good professional teacher, but from an ordinary female teacher. Since I started learning dance, I not only learned her movements, but also learned her femininity (expression). The teacher taught the students no standardized movements, and some men felt that the female teacher's movements and forms were beautiful, so they blindly imitated them, imitating the women's movements and temperament, and over time they became habitual movements. Although a female teacher can teach male students the basic movements of dance, she cannot teach them how to express the masculine beauty of men. These people appear feminine when dancing. Their hands are like lotus fingers, and their movements and expressions are like women. They dance with a feminine look and no trace of masculinity.
What is the most taboo thing about men dancing? It's the phenomenon of femininity. Don't ignore that you are a man. If a man dances with feminine postures, he will not be able to dance aesthetically because the masculine spirit of a man cannot be expressed in the dance movements. Dancing with a feminine look looks awkward, and may even make others feel disgusted. Dance can give others the most intuitive feelings, so men must not act femininely or look feminine. Men should show their strength, majesty, and majestic personality, embodying their gentlemanly demeanor and brave temperament.
