Sailor, rumba and cha-cha these three dances and ****, slow four and are not the same, whether from the style of dance, or the requirements of the dance and what we have said earlier that there is a great deal of difference in the dance of the sorority dance. The three dances are similar, we mainly talk about the sailor,

1. Although the U.S. Navy expedition, the sailor dance was also brought to the world, and became a dance for men and women. The Sailor's Dance is lively and energetic. The music used is disco and fast-paced. But while the authentic Sailor Dance is six beats per bar, we often dance to four beats per bar, which is actually called "hand-pulling", but four beats per bar is obviously easier to master.

The following is the dance posture of the sailor dance: male and female partners stand face to face, male partner open hands, palms up, female partner also open hands, palms down, male and female partners clasped hands.

The basic steps are the same for both male and female partners,

The first beat is left foot forward *** with the right foot can also be used, according to their own habits ***,

The second beat is the right foot in place for a beat,

The third row of the left foot back,

The fourth beat is the right foot in place for a beat. And then the two of you switch places. The basic footwork of the Sailor Dance is these two, and the patterns come entirely from the hands, i.e., it is entirely up to the boy to guide the girl with the amount and direction of his hands to make a variety of good-looking patterns. There is a saying that if a sailor dances well, it looks like the female partner looks the best; if she doesn't dance well, it's the male partner's fault. It's up to the men to master this skill.

2, Rumba

Rumba originated in Cuba, is a kind of dance has always been loved by the people, enjoy the "soul of Latin dance" reputation.

Rumba steps are also very simple, but Rumba is the most difficult to learn in the social dance, the male step should be fully coordinated with the female step, the male step if the left foot out of the left direction across the two steps, and then to the right direction across the two steps, out of the right foot across the right direction across the two steps, and then across the left direction across the two steps, the direction of the male step can be chosen, the female step in the direction of the male step and the direction of male step and the same across the two steps, the turn around to 4 steps!

Rumba's beat is 4/4, with accents on the first and third beats.

The basic steps of the rumba are a combination of fast, fast, and slow movements to the beat of the music. Two fast steps are horizontal steps, followed by a slow step, which completes a step.

The rumba has two movements in each step, one is the step and the other is the movement of the center of gravity; one foot is on the ground, the center of gravity is kept on the other foot, and the center of gravity is gradually changed during the stride.

Social Rumba although inherited the national standard dance dance jumping and lingering dance style, but no matter from the dance, dance, and the national standard Rumba is completely different. Social Rumba dance posture and the same as the sailor, the basic dance step is very special, is to use the hips to drive the thighs to move sideways, in the process of a bar four beats, the crotch is exactly in the vertical plane to draw a good 8 son. It's hard to get used to Rumba because it's different from other ballroom dances, but as long as you practice hard, you'll be able to feel the flavor of Rumba after a few months.

3, cha-cha-cha

cha-cha-cha is a Latin dance in the new show this dance is in the early fifties in the United States for the first time in the ballroom, from a dance called mambo development. Along with the mambo, another rhythm flourished and eventually became popular around the world, the cha-cha-cha-cha. Its music is a little slower than the mambo, and its rhythm is simpler and faster. The cha-cha-cha-cha brings people a happy, relaxed, amusing, and a little bit of a party atmosphere. It was later shortened to cha-cha-cha

It is divided into twisting cha-cha-cha, bouncing cha-cha-cha and walking cha-cha-cha, the most basic or learn to walk cha-cha-cha it!

Men step out of the left foot, women step out of the right foot, first step back, and then left **** right **** foot with a step, and then left **** right **** foot step again, and then to the left **** right **** side of the rapid horizontal walk 2 steps, and then left **** right **** back a step can be

4, the guitar bar

This step is the simplest step in all the social dance, although simple, but a lot of tricks, to dance well is not easy, first of all, the male step female step each out of the right foot, the right foot forward 1 step left foot with 1 step, the right foot back 1 step left foot and then with 1 step

5, *** step

First of all, the male and female steps out of the respective courtesy step, male steps The right foot backward, the female left foot backward, and then each of the left *** right *** foot step out one step, and then two steps, the male step is always forward, the female step is always backward, with the music of the fast and slow show "bouncing wipe" rhythm.

In the dance, *** and slow four are the most danced. The **** is one of the most basic dances, and is the foundation for the other dances. This is because all the techniques used in other dances are applied in ****. The *** is a triple step, which, as the name suggests, means that there are three beats in each measure. The accent is on the first beat, and the last two beats are weak,

The rhythm is "strong, weak, weak". "

As we said, after the man has asked for a female partner, the dance is set up so that the male partner steps forward with his left foot and the female partner steps back with her right foot.

So in ****, for the men, the accent in the first bar is on the left foot, the accent in the second bar is switched to the right foot, and then the accent is rotated between the left and right feet. The same is true for the female partner, where the accent on the first measure is on the right foot, and on the second measure it switches to the left foot, and so on. This is a very clear difference from the slow four.

***The simplest step is the straight step, which beginners often think of as a dance, so they don't know where to put their feet, but it's actually more or less the same as walking, with the addition of an understanding of the music. For ***, we say:

The first beat is the heavy beat and the step should be bigger, the second and third beats are the weak beats and the step should be adjusted. Men's feet should be straight ahead.

Some beginners are afraid of stepping on their partner's feet and walk to the side, which is not in line with the **** dance style and does not look good. In fact, as long as both men and women move forward and backward at the same time in time with the rhythm of the music, they will not step on each other's feet.

The inside spin in **** is also one of the basic steps:

Bounce - the male partner starts with his left foot, and the female partner starts with her right foot. First, the female partner steps back with her right foot, and the male partner steps out with his left foot between the female partner's two feet. At this point, the male partner takes his left foot as the axis, and the female partner takes her right foot as the axis, and rotates 180 degrees, and then the male partner steps back with his right foot.

Wipe - the female partner advances with her left foot, and this is the second beat.

Wipe - in the last beat, the male partner steps back with his left foot and is on the left side of the right foot, while the female partner advances with her right foot and is on the right side of the left foot, and the two partners are in closed position. They are in a closed position. Note that after 180 degrees of rotation, in order to maintain the direction of the line of the dance, the male partner should step back in future dances, and if he wants to return to the original position, he should rotate 180 degrees again. The male partner should step back with his right foot and the female partner should step forward with her left foot. .... Same as before.

The basic step is actually very simple, all the patterns are evolved from the basic step, master the basic step in order to better master more patterns. Of course, these are just words on paper, and you need to learn them from the masters of the dance.

*** can be said to be the more iconic dance in the ball, because it is very simple rhythm, if it is a better dance music, even if you have never danced can be very clear to hear its beat: strong - weak - weak strong - weak - weak ......... ... *** There are a lot of patterns, positive side step, reverse side step, continuous side step *** four directions ***, left turn step, right turn step, fan line step *** in, back ***, circle step *** can have N kinds of turn ***, leisure shuttle step *** to the leisure dance pattern fusion into the N kinds of ***, modern stick to leaning step and so on.

Middle three. The tempo is a little faster than ****, and the rest is the same as above.

6, slow four steps

This step is the "work step" of the social dance, it is not easy to dance well!

First of all

Men's left foot backward and then one step, men's step and then out of the right foot forward and then one step, men's left foot and then two steps forward and then one step,

Women's right foot forward and then one step, women's step out of the left foot backward and then one step, women's step backward and then two steps backward and then one step

With the same ****, from the name of which we can think of, Slow four As we can imagine from its name, the rhythm of slow four is four beats to a bar, and its accent is on beats one and three, or on the first beat.

Unlike ****, where the accent is on the first beat, and because it is an odd numbered beat, the accent rotates between the left and right foot,

Unlike the slow four, where it is an even numbered beat, the accent is always on the left foot, which is of course the case for a boy, but for a girl, the accent is always on the right foot.

There are two basic ways to dance the slow four:

Equal intervals and two slow and two fast.

Whatever the method, the principle to follow should be:

Slow four is a slow rhythmic dance, the expression should be calm and graceful.

Unlike the ****, the slow four has little or no undulation, and with four beats to a bar, it's obviously more comfortable to rotate than the ****. In general, the slow four is much easier to dance than the ****. So, there are more slow fours than ****s at parties, and most of them are slow fours.

1. When the slow four is slow, we can use the equal interval method, according to the rhythm of the dance, four beats a bar, each bar step, as for the dance posture, etc., are the same as ****,

When walking straight, you can be the first two beats of the pace a little larger, the last two beats to adjust. Note that for boys, the emphasis is always on the left foot. ***Girls on the right foot***

2. When the tempo of the dance music is a little faster, you can use two slow and two fast dance, that is, "slow-slow-fast-fast" slow beat contains two beats of the dance music, fast beat contains one beat. In this way, a measure actually contains six beats. Like ***, as we can imagine from its name, the rhythm of the slow four is four beats to a bar, and its accent is on the first, third, or first beat. Unlike ***, where the accent is on the first beat, and because it is an odd numbered beat, the accent is rotated between the left and right foot, the slow four, because it is an even numbered beat, the accent is always on the left foot, but of course for boys, and for girls it is always on the right foot.

Beginners can dance the first slow four, easy to learn and good to dance. Of course, the second one is more rhythmic and has more patterns.

*** and Tango

7, **** step

This dance is a risky dance, the rhythm is relatively fast, a turn on the dizziness, or high blood pressure can not be jumped! First of all, the left foot of the male step backward, the female step with the right foot forward, and then the right foot of the male step across into the female step in the two feet of the female step horizontal turn 360 degrees, the female step and then the right foot across into the male step in the two feet of the turn of 360 degrees

In all the ballroom dance, *** is the most difficult to dance, *** dance good or bad, performance of a person to dance the ballroom dance level of the level of high and low. The *** belongs to three steps, naturally it is three beats to a bar, and the emphasis is on the first beat. But because it is ***, it means that its rhythm is much faster than ***. The posture of the *** is slightly different from the ***, the boy's right hand is below the girl's left shoulder blade, but in the ***, the right hand can be moved slightly to the left rear, probably to the center of the girl's spine. And the dance should not be too far away from each other. This is because, during the ****, most of the time is in a fast spin, and it is easy for the boy to spin the girl with force.

The steps of **** are very simple and commonly used only in the medial rotation. Although the dancing method is the same as ****, the tempo of **** is much faster than ****, so it is not possible to keep up with the tempo if you still use the same as **** to complete the movement with three steps in three beats. Therefore, in ****, we say three steps in two, the main thing is the movement of the center of gravity. First the boy puts his left foot between the girl's two feet, the boy lifts his right foot slightly and centers his weight on the left foot, the girl lifts her left foot slightly and centers her weight on the right foot. The boy rotates 180 degrees counterclockwise on his left foot and the girl rotates 180 degrees counterclockwise on her right foot. The center of gravity remains the same, the boy's right foot and the girl's left foot are next to each other, the toes of the feet are on the ground, but they do not support the body, the boy's center of gravity remains on his left foot and the girl's center of gravity remains on her right foot, and so on, completing one bar. In the next bar, the boy steps back on his right foot and the girl steps forward on her left foot, as in the previous bar. As you can see, the *** dance is relatively simple, but the rapid rotation, decided it is a difficult dance, but as long as more practice, is not difficult to master. The national standard in the *** called Vienna Waltz, is a bar dance three steps, but the dance method is slightly different from ***, in the next series of lectures on national standard dance will be introduced.
