Pleasant music, brisk dance, with the weather gradually become cooler, the park, the neighborhood, dancing fellowship more people up. Dancing can not only show hobbyists beautiful dance, make the mood happy, fitness is also very favorable. The following is some of the information that I have organized about the basic teaching of ballroom dancing for your reference.
The basic knowledge of ballroom dancing:
1, the dance line, angle and direction .
In a dance floor, if you do not follow the prescribed line of travel to dance ballroom dancing, you are bound to collide with each other, the order is chaotic. Therefore, the national standard dance strictly stipulates that dancers must move forward in the direction of counterclockwise. This line of march is called the dance line. In the dance line, the two long lines are called A line, and the two short lines are called B line.
National standard dance on a combination or routine in the beginning and the end of each step in the standing position, as well as the direction of the transport step and the angle of rotation are strictly regulated.
Take the rotation, the direction is divided into left and right, and the angle is divided into 45 degrees (1/8 week), 90 degrees (1/4 week), 135 degrees (3/8 week), 180 degrees (1/2 week), 225 degrees (5/8 week), 270 degrees (3/4 week), 315 degrees (7/8 week), 360 degrees (1 week) from small to large.
Orientation regulations, most of the male partner is assumed to stand in the center of the dance tow, facing the band, and the center of the bandstand as the benchmark, set as "1 point? and "3 o'clock", "4 o'clock" and "4 o'clock". and "4 o'clock", and "5 o'clock". and "5:00", "6:00", "6:00". "6 o'clock", "6 o'clock", "7 o'clock", "7 o'clock". and "7 o'clock", "8 o'clock". and "8 o'clock".
When dancing GB, the dancers march or rotate according to the dance program line, and the changes of their angle and orientation are related to the dance program line. Therefore, the national standard dance to the male partner to face the direction of the dance line as a benchmark, the direction of the dance steps provided for eight lines: (1) the male partner is facing the dance line; (2) the male partner's right shoulder to the right 90 degrees to the four walls (refers to stand in the dance line at any point in terms of the line), known as the wall line; (3) the male partner's left shoulder to the left to the left 90 degrees to the center of the dance floor, known as the central line; (4) the male partner's right front that is the direction of the wall line after a 45-degree right turn 45 degrees after the direction towards the wall line, known as the wall diagonal; (5) the male partner's left front that is 45 degrees after the direction of the left turn towards the central line, known as the central diagonal; (6) the male partner's back is the reverse dance line; (7) the male partner's right back that is 135 degrees after the direction of the right turn towards the wall line tilted in the opposite direction, known as the reverse wall diagonal; (8) the male partner's left back that is 135 degrees after the direction of the left turn towards the center of the direction of the reverse direction tilted in the opposite direction, known as reverse The central diagonal. As long as the dancers travel along the dance line, no matter which point they travel to, they can distinguish the orientation and angle according to the above eight lines.
2. Dance posture, grip and body position
Dance posture refers to the posture of the dancers, and here it refers to the shape of the feet, the way of holding and the posture of the upper body, which are formed by a certain body position when dancing.
Position, refers to the male and female dance partners dancing body position such as modern dance, male and female dance partners in most of the time are hand in hand holding rarely separate, generally only the right position, side line position and lateral position of the three positions. If you dance Latin dance, male and female dance partners time and again, position changes.
(l) Hopping position dance
? The? The? The "joint position" of "opposite" means that the man and woman are facing each other. means that the man and the woman are holding each other's hands without separating. The same as the counterpoint dance posture, modern dance and Latin dance are different.
A. Modern dance posture
Male and female dance partners feet together, two knees loose, full foot on the ground, standing opposite each other, each with the right toe to the other two feet slightly right of the center line. The two are staggered to the left by about one-half, with the right part of each other's waist and hips slightly close to each other, so as to facilitate the male guide and female followers. Heads are turned to the left. Male partner abdomen and chest straight back shoulders, slightly closed lower jaw; female partner chest and waist tilted back about 25 degrees, the right waist above the left into an arc.
The key points of holding are as follows:
a. The left hand of the male partner and the right hand of the female partner hold each other (the first point of contact)? The male partner's left hand palm forward, and the ground at an oblique angle, gripping the female partner's right thumb outside the four fingers, the female partner will be the four fingers together, placed between the male partner's thumb and four fingers, the two palms lightly. Male partner's left upper arm up, elbow slightly below the shoulder, and slightly backward, small arm inward and slightly forward, left arm and small arm into a 90-degree angle (can also be slightly greater than 90 degrees), wrist upward, so that the hand held by the female partner's right ear peak; female partner's right arm is naturally bent into an arc.
b. The right arm of the male partner is raised, the elbow is also slightly below the shoulder, as far as possible from the shoulder to the elbow slightly downward sloping inclination and the same as the left arm. The right elbow is slightly in front of the folded arm, five fingers together, sticking to the lower part of the partner's left shoulder blade, with the palm of the partner (the second point of contact).
c. The partner's left hand tiger mouth open, placed on the partner's right upper arm lower deltoid muscle, the thumb on the inside, the other four fingers on the outside (the third point of contact).
d. The right lower arm of the male partner is in contact with the left upper arm of the female partner, and the whole right arm holds the left arm of the female partner loosely and naturally (fourth point of contact).
The above four points of contact plus the slight adhesion of the male partner to the right part of the female partner's waist and crotch, *** there are five points of contact....
B, Latin dance position ;q:/&4&[
Male and female dance partners stand opposite each other, head straight, the body is naturally upright, the male partner's left hand to hold the female partner's right hand (the female partner's right hand in addition to the thumb outside of the four fingers on the male partner's left hand in the Tiger's Neck), the upper arm is slightly leaning inward, the small arm and the upper arm at an angle of about 90 degrees, the male partner's right hand is placed on the female partner's left shoulder bone, elbow flat lifting, the whole arm into a long arc, the whole arm is a long arc, the whole arm is a long arc.
The above men and women are nearly an arm's length away from each other, and it is easy for the dancers to change position, and it is commonly used for various Latin dance steps. There are a few other steps, such as rumba and cha-cha-cha in the left and right gyroscopic turn, need to be close to men and women, slight contact, jumping from the right hand from the female partner's left shoulder blade to the back of the body of the lower part of the left shoulder blade, the female partner's left hand should be moved forward accordingly.
(2) sub-aligned dance
Men and women are relatively resistant to stand, separated from the farther, or single-handedly pull, or hands pull, or not pull the hand, in short, not hand-holding, this is sub-aligned dance. In Latin Dance, the joint-pairing dance posture is called closed, and the split-pairing dance posture is called open.
(3) Sidewalk position
? Combined counterpoint? and ? Split Position are both male and female partners standing opposite each other in the body position, marching either male into female or female into male. If you need to men and women to the same side (mostly the left side of the male partner and the right side of the female partner) marching, we must change the joint position dance for the sidewalk position dance.
On the basis of the joint position, the male partner's upper body and head slightly to the left (45 degrees), the female partner's upper body and head slightly to the right (45 degrees), so the male partner's right waist and crotch and the female partner's left waist and crotch close to each other, and the other side of the body of the two people to open up into the v-shaped, the two pairs of eyes to look in the same direction through the arm to be held together to form a will be sideways gesture, which is the modern dance, except for tango, side line position. This is the sidewalk position of the four types of modern dance except tango (the sidewalk position of tango is shown later).
(4) Lateral position
The Xigang position refers to the dance posture formed when one male or female partner advances to the right or left side of the other partner in the modern dance of close holding. In Latin dance, this dance is less frequently used because there are not many steps in the lateral position.
(5) Parallel dance
In Latin dance, men and women hold hands and do not stick to the body, equivalent to the modern dance in the sidewalk position of the dance, is the parallel position of the dance.
On the basis of the pairing dance posture, the male and female dance partners turn their bodies 90 degrees to the left and to the right, and the two feet are one in front of the other, and the forehands of the handshake are stretched forward to form the posture of marching side by side, which is the parallel position dance posture.
(6) Shoulder-to-shoulder position
With the male partner as the benchmark, the male partner's left shoulder and the female partner's right shoulder and called? The left shoulder position is called "left shoulder position". The right shoulder position is called the "right shoulder position".
(7) shadow position
Female partner in front of the male partner's left or right position, and close to the male partner, this is the shadow position of men and women inseparable from the shadow of the dance. If the female partner is in front and to the right, it is the right shadow position, and if she is in front and to the left, it is the left shadow position. It can be a one-handed dance, or a two-handed dance that pulls the hands around each other.
In addition, there are the fan position dance formed by the fan step in the rumba and cha-cha-cha and the split booth dance formed by the split step.
Matters that should be noted in the dance
1, pay attention to instrumentation and clothing
Participants in the ballroom dance, we should be neatly dressed, dress fit, shiny shoes. Men dress solemnly, women dress colorful, avoid wearing slippers, undershirts, shorts into the field. In order to avoid the dance partner smell sweat, fox odor and other odors, you can sprinkle some perfume on the clothes.
Because the social dance is a strong socialization of men and women dance, in clothing and dress should be more careful. The best choice for men is a suit. Suit color should be deep, with a full set of black clothes with white shirt and dark tie most solemn. Women should not wear cheongsam, simple skirts and dresses and other clothing that impede the dance movement to wear dresses as the best choice. Because the waist of the dress tight fit sub can fully demonstrate the female curve; its hemline stretching wide, both to facilitate the legs for large-scale action, but also to make the dance Ken more ethereal beauty.
2, pay attention to the invitation to dance politely
The sound of the dance, men should take the initiative to invite women to dance. The standard posture of inviting a woman to dance is to stand in front of her seat in a dignified manner, with the right hand stretched out in front of her and a smile and a nod of the head in greeting. The woman should generally not refuse, if you do not know how to dance, or the body is not suitable to dance too fast tempo, or because of fatigue and want to rest a song, you can smile and politely explain the reasons, plus? Sorry? Please forgive me. Please forgive me. etc. The lady should not turn her head when she sees someone inviting her.
Ms. invited to dance, you can look or words to indicate, do not have to stand as dignified as men. If a woman invites a man, he cannot refuse.
If the woman accompanied by her husband or parents to dance, the man invited to dance should first greet their husbands or parents, and then sent to the original dance and thank you. If the man is aware that the woman has a regular partner or does not want to be invited, do not force.
3, civilized behavior is not vulgar
In the ballroom, do not spit talk, do not mouth or ear frame cigarettes, do not yawn and sneeze at others, there can not be any uncivilized vulgarity and nasty behavior.
When dancing with each other, according to the standard dance hold, do not get too close, too tight; to standardize the action close, do not twist and turn, horizontal food rushed straight, both sides of the spit to light, can not be sprayed directly on the other side of the face.
4, talk elegantly
In the ballroom can not speak rough gangster words, can not be noisy and playful, not to mention flirting, flirting words. Being in a social occasion. Spit words should pay attention to elegant and polite and cultivated.
Dancing with strangers, to smile and not speak is appropriate. When resting in the seat, it is not appropriate to talk too much with strangers, forced to ask about the work and family, and more avoid talking hard and rude. />]FV^e
5, male guide female with coordination
Dance social dance, the male partner is required to guide, female partner is good at following, the two coordinated.
The coordination of the male guide and female followers depends on two factors: one is the dance steps are familiar to both sides, which must have the basic conditions; the second is the transfer of dance information, acceptance and response must be accurate and sensitive.
The transfer and acceptance of step information, the average person dancing ballroom dance is mainly two hands. According to the strict requirements of the national standard dance, in addition to the Latin dance, men and women rely on two hands to pass the information after the dance, where holding each other's dance, the main rely on the waist and crotch to pass the information of a slight affinity. Because the dance partner arm like a steel frame fixed in the body, the arm can only with and can not be separated from the body to go in and out of operation. The following are some examples.
Male into female retreat. Male partner waist and hips along with the forward foot lightly pushed forward, at this time fixed on the torso of the left hand naturally have a slight forward force, the right hand is relaxed around the embrace of the intention. The female partner gets the message first and mainly from the waist
crotch which is slightly close to each other, and reacts quickly and sensitively, and moves backward. If the male partner rely on the left hand to push the female partner back, it is bound to be close to the waist and crotch separation, destroying the standardized dance posture.
Male retreat female into. The situation is slightly different. Because the male partner's foot backward before the body face backward, it is easy to produce a misunderstanding, that is, think backward by the male partner's left hand lightly backward pull, the right hand lightly against the back of the female partner lightly backward with. Of course, the female partner will feel this way and can react accordingly by stepping forward. The problem is that the male partner's two hands to guide the female partner forward action is not from the body of the back, if it is from the body of the back, so that the female partner first from the slight affinity of the waist and crotch to get the information, that is correct; if the two hands first in the body and back, will inevitably produce the legs and feet collision phenomenon.
Turning to the left, the male partner's body left, driving the left hand lightly to the left rear pull, the right hand finger light pressure on the back of the female partner, and make the waist and hips and the right elbow of the frame of the same role in twisting the female partner; the female partner to get the message, quickly and flexibly to follow, and keep the waist and hips to stick to the body turn.
Turning to the right, the male partner turns his body to the right and pushes his left hand lightly to the right in front of him, and presses the back of the female partner with the palm of his right hand, and the rest is the same as above.
From this, we can see that in the transfer of information in the dance, the hand split only plays a role in counseling; the real role is only or mainly a slight phase in the posting of the waist and hips. Dancers should keep in mind that, in addition to the male and female split steps, all the steps should keep the right waist and hips slightly close to the same. Dance not separate a variety of dance steps, can not hold each other's hands, rely solely on the waist and hips to pass the message.
Of course, the complexity of the steps determines that the male partner to guide the female partner's technique is diverse. In addition to using the waist and hips to convey the message, the pulling hand up to indicate the female partner's self-turning, and other suggestive movements, also have the function of conveying the information of the dance steps.
In the male guide female follow, we should pay attention to the following points:
(1) male partner should not take the female partner to dance she does not know the difficult movements.
(2) male to control the front push, pull back, left twist, right twist and other guiding movements of the strength, through the accurate control of the strength to accurately grasp the magnitude of the step in and out and the angle of rotation.
(3) The female partner should have a strong sense of following, and be good at accepting and reacting to the information guided by the male partner with agility, do not assume the operation of the dance steps in advance, and do not lead the male partner to dance according to their own intentions.
(4) Both sides should pay attention to the field of observation. When the dance is in disarray, you can stop and start dancing from a strong beat. Will collide with each other, or stop walking back, or hesitate on the spot, or change direction, or folding down the two hands, mainly by the male partner to grasp. However, when the collision comes from behind the male partner, the female partner should press the back of the male partner's shoulder with her left hand sharply to show that she can cope with the situation. When the collision to come from behind the other side, the party found that the hand can be used to rush to block the separation.
Social dance fitness role:
Pleasant music, light dance, with the weather gradually become cooler, parks, neighborhoods, dancing social dance more people up. Dancing can not only show lovers beautiful dance, make the mood happy, fitness is also very favorable. How can you dance more fitness?
1, dancing in the morning at eight or nine o'clock or five or six o'clock in the evening is appropriate, when the air quality is better, the temperature is moderate. But these times are generally in the meal, so do not eat too full or drink when eating. Dancing on a full stomach will affect digestion, which in the long run puts the gastrointestinal tract in a state of discomfort and may lead to gastrointestinal diseases. Especially the usual gastrointestinal bad people, should be as far as possible in half an hour after the meal and then go dancing. In addition, alcohol will stimulate the brain, make the heart beat faster, blood vessel expansion, dancing after drinking may induce angina and cerebrovascular accident.
2, dance to choose a spacious, fresh air venue, people should not be too much. Because when dancing, the brain is in a state of excitement, blood flow speed, heart load increases, the human body's oxygen consumption increases, fresh air is particularly important to the effect of fitness.
3, flat and smooth ground to help show the balance of the dance, stability and sense of flow, marble, fine cement and ceramic tile floor is a suitable choice. The rough mud, grain brick floor is not very suitable, because with the fast-paced music, the attention of the dancers in the music and dance, the more strenuous ballroom dancing may sprain the ankle. Attention should be paid to choose a pair of soft bottom, lightweight, able to protect the ankle shoes.
4, each dance time control in 1 ~ 2 hours is good, too long, the body is too fatigue, fitness effect is reduced. If you are very obsessed with dancing, you can take a break for about twenty minutes, do some kicking, ankle activities, bend over and other actions to relieve the tension of the muscles.
5, grasp the intensity of dancing. Slow three, slow four intensity, no need to warm up. Fast four, fast three and other dance movement is more intense, will lead to shortness of breath, heart rate accelerated, blood pressure suddenly rise, may induce or exacerbate cardiovascular disease, therefore, the dancers should pay attention to the slow into the urgent, from slow and fast, step by step. Before jumping fully do ankle, knee, hips, shoulders and other joints of the preparatory activities, do stretching exercises, a few minutes can be, so as to avoid sports injuries. If you have a sprain, you should apply a cold compress and then take appropriate treatment
