5. gaynor's twist step? (Just a little joke, though gaynor does a twisting step that's so unique, doesn't it?)
General FAQ:
I always feel like a lot of the ladies are overdoing it by not swinging their hips but using all of their body rotation between step 3 and 4. I think it's important to twist the hips more and apply some push rather than doing it at the shoulders, which is a very unsightly move, and the shoulders have to be completely parallel to the partner and the shoulders have to be in the same place. The shoulders must be perfectly parallel to the partner and "move naturally, never abandon them".
Latin Dance for BeginnersPosture
Rumba and Cha Cha:
1. Stand with your feet naturally and easily together.
2. Stick out your chest and straighten your spine, do not shrug your shoulders.
3. Take a step to the side with either foot, straighten the other foot that supports the center of gravity, and shift all of your weight to that foot so that your pelvis can move to the side, and so that you feel the weight resting on the heel of the supporting foot, with the knee locked back. The amount of pelvic movement should not affect the posture of the upper body.
Semba and Jie:
1. Stand with your feet naturally and easily together.
2. Stick out your chest, straighten your back and do not shrug your shoulders.
3. Take a step outward with either foot, straighten the other foot that supports the center of gravity, and shift all your weight onto that foot so that the weight is shifted forward onto the forefoot while the heel remains off the floor, and the knee of the supporting foot is not locked back. Exceptions are made for certain steps, such as the split rock step, the backward retraction step and the rolled pleat step in the Samba, and the chicken walk in the Jet.
Because Spanish bullfighting has no pelvic or hip movement, its posture differs from that of the various Latin dances mentioned above in the following ways: 1. The pelvis is tilted forward slightly. 2. The weight is carried by both feet very much in the palms. 3. 2. the weight is borne very evenly by both feet. 3. when the foot is straight, the knee must not buckle back. There is one exception, and that is the Spanish dance.
Orientation
Orientation under the chart is used to illustrate the direction in which the dancer's body is facing or backing in the studio. When we lead with our shoulders (sidewalking), it is important to have the correct orientation. The Rumba, Cha Cha and Jet are non-forward dances, while the Samba and Spanish Bullfight are forward dances.
Turning
In Latin dance, the feet are never parallel, except when the feet are together. Such a foot turn is mostly an outward turn, but it is a foot turn with all or part of the weight, which is a "passive turn" or a responsive movement of the foot. Since, in dancing, the feet turn and the upper body's . The amount of rotation is mostly different.
Learning the basic posture of Latin dance
Chest out so that the two shoulder blades backward and inward closure, the two shoulders down at the same time the middle of the body (chest and waist) upward dial up, so that the middle of the body and the two shoulders have a mutual top pressure force.
The hips are slightly inward, and the belly is pulled upward, but not too much so that the body is deformed and the upper torso feels straight. The two thighs should be slightly inward, the knees should be straight, not bent, the muscles of the thighs and calves should be tightened, and the feeling is that they are pulled tight in the opposite direction.
Preparatory step standing posture: left foot in front, toes to the front, the center of gravity of the body in the left foot, the body as straight as possible, so that the head, shoulders, hips three points into a line. The right foot is open at the back, the knee is straight, the inner thumb points to the ground, the heel presses down to the inside, don't buckle up, and the surface of the foot is straight.
The right hip opens diagonally 45° backward, so that the body forms a very long straight line from the upper body to the right toe, which can show a very beautiful form and shape in the dance.
Notes for Beginners Learning LatinFor beginners, it is recommended to focus on jumping on the basic step, which seems simple, but not many people really do well, do not think that a few beats of the basic step is so simple, there is a lot of learning inside, it is important to learn the Latin dance step, to get that feeling.
In Latin dance, the state of the human body should be divided into 3 parts.
1. The upper body, especially the shoulders should be lofty, reflecting the nobility of the Spaniards and the essence of white culture in Latin dance.
2. The middle part of the body, including the waist and hips, should be twisted to its heart's content, highlighting the lively and outgoing characteristics of African culture.
3. The lower half of the body, legs and feet movements originated from the culture of the Indians, where some of the steps in Latin dance originated.
So in order to dance well in Latin dance, you have to appreciate these 3 characteristics, and it's not easy to integrate the diversity of personalities into the body language.
Other things to pay attention to:
1. Men should have short hair, long hair should be tied into a ponytail, no makeup, do not wear jewelry; women with long hair should be dished, do not emit, you can wear a small amount of jewelry, but not too large.
2. Clothing in general to tight for good, men to black, women with short skirts, should not be longer than the knee, so as not to affect the movement. Shoes have specialized dance shoes, but in training to be comfortable, preferably flat bottom.
3. Pay attention to etiquette, men should first send an invitation to the lady, the lady should return the gift. After the dance, be sure to thank the audience, the man should also send the lady back.
4. Beginners should not be in a hurry to dance ensemble, do not rush to contact the flower steps to avoid injury.
