What are the characteristics and considerations of Latin dance choreography for children and adolescents?
Nowadays, there are a lot of children dancing and performing in Latin Dance, and rehearsal is a big headache because children are always disobedient. Therefore the arrangement of the dance will need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of small children, need to be considered well in advance.
Choose 3-5 minutes of clear rhythm, slower music, if two children perform, it is recommended to use the rumba or cha-cha-cha. If you are dancing in a group, you can use cha-cha or cowboy.
For group dances, try to change formation only once, and also use the principle of proximity, so that it is easier to remember. They will be able to string together the basic steps, combined with the ups and downs of the music to change, in the climax of the music you can choose to expressive action, or choose a few shapes. The movements don't need to be too much, they need to be fine-tuned one by one, and constantly adjusted.
For duo dance, you need to choose a greater range of action, movement needs to be more, so that the field does not look monotonous. You can also choose more complex combinations of movements, and especially practice more open movements and shapes, which are more likely to be colorful.
But for group dances with a large number of people, it's best to keep each person's space small to avoid disorganization and to make it easier to train.
There are three general forms of choreography for children's Latin group dances. One is to have each pair of children dance a complete set of routines, with a combination of line changes to enhance the effect. The other is the combination of a combination of routines, combined with a combination of pairs of routines.
