The total space step **** is divided into four kinds:
(Hint: The distance of the slide does not have to be too long at the beginning of learning, according to the ability to determine the later learning can be adjusted at will.)
Backward slide (level 1): the most basic action in the space step
Analysis: I. Slide out of the first step:
1. feet about 5 cm away from the parallel stand;
2. one toe tiptoe (according to personal habits);
3. the other foot pushed backward (tiptoe feet in place to help push back, sliding out of the foot of all the palms of the foot next to the ground);
2. Change feet: (at this time the foot type is: one foot in front of the tiptoe, one foot in the back of the foot next to the ground)
4. Tiptoe foot step down, to slide out of the foot; back slide foot tiptoe, to tiptoe;
three. Slide out step 2:
5. Same as above, slide out foot pushed back, tiptoe in place to help push back, slide out foot all feet next to the ground;
IV. Continuous:
6. Please repeat the above actions, pay attention to consistency, beginners can take their time.
Side Slide (Level 2): michael's own sliding method based on back slide
Analysis: i. Slide out the first step:
1. feet outside the eight horizontal stand, slightly wider than shoulder width;
2. one toe tiptoe (according to personal habits);
3. the other foot to the foot in the same direction, tiptoe foot down on the booster (push the left foot to the left, push the right foot to the right);
2. Change feet: (at this time the foot type is: one foot in the left, one foot in the right, the same as the start)
4. foot type changed to the inner eight, sliding out of the foot on tiptoe, turn to tiptoe; tiptoe lifting up the tip of the foot, the heel of the foot to the ground, turn to slide out of the foot;
5. slide out of the foot at this time the heel of the foot on the ground, with the heel of the foot to the direction of the other foot sliding to the tiptoe toes to exert force, to help, the side of the slide, close to the outside of the eight after the change (the two feet are close to each other) Degree according to the actual situation);
Three. Slide out the second step:
6. Same as above, the other foot to the foot in the same direction to push, tiptoe down to help (push the left foot to the left, push the right foot to the right);
four. Continuous:
7. Please repeat the above actions, pay attention to consistency, beginners can take their time.
Slip in place (level 3): michael's own slip based on the back slip
Analysis: i. Slide out the first step:
1. Stand parallel to the ground with your feet about 5 centimeters apart;
2. Kick one foot forward next to the ground, slightly less than a foot away, immediately retract it and stand on tiptoe;
3. Stand on tiptoe and stomp down, with your foot next to the ground, and as you stomp down, push your sliding foot backward about a foot away;
II. Change feet:
4. Slide out foot forward next to the ground kicked out, slightly less than a foot away, immediately retracted, and tiptoe, turn to tiptoe, at this time the tiptoe has been the palm of the foot next to the ground, turn to slide out of the foot;
three. Slide out the second step:
5. Same as above, tiptoe down, palms next to the ground, step down at the same time, slide out the foot pushed back about a foot distance;
IV. Continuous:
6. Please repeat the above movements, pay attention to consistency, beginners can take their time.
Spinning slide (level four): also known as puppet spinning, michael in the back slide on the basis of self-created slide
analysis: i. Slide out the first step:
1. . Stand parallel with your feet about 5cm apart;
2. Slide your right foot forward on tiptoe to the tip of your left foot, and exert a little force with your left foot to turn your body a little to the lower right side where you have just been facing, and pay attention to the fact that your face is facing upward to the left at this time (front side: ↑, direction of exertion: ↘, direction of your face:);
Two. Change feet:
3. At this point, relying on inertia, the tips of both feet are lifted, the heels land on the ground, turn to the left for a short period of time, and the feet land on the ground;
three. Slide out the second step:
4. Same as above, the right foot tiptoe forward to slide to the left foot toes, left foot slightly force, so that the body to their just facing the lower right to rotate a small section, pay attention to this time the face towards the upper left (front: ↑, the direction of force: ↘, the direction of the face:);
four. Continuous:
7. Please repeat the above actions, pay attention to consistency, beginners can take their time;
8. After the foot movements are skillful, you can add the movements of the hands, shoulders and head, when sliding down to the right, the head, hands, and shoulders do the movement of squeezing to the right;
9. Spinning slip is more difficult to understand with words, it is recommended that you watch the Smooth by michael Criminal (criminal master) mv, concert to learn.
Note: sustained slide:
A few details to keep the slide successful:
1. : When sliding backward, it will cause the center of gravity to tilt backward due to inertia, so please keep the center of gravity of your body tilted slightly forward to solve this problem (the amount of forward tilt depends on the actual situation);
2.. : It is crucial to have a pair of shoes that can be slipped, such as board shoes and cloth shoes, which are suitable for the beginner to slip, and can also be used in the later stage (slip shoes need to be re-sharpened after they are just bought or washed, it is recommended to walk on the street and step on the dust).
3. : can slip on the floor, such as tile floors, wooden floors, the premise is that there is no water, with dust effect is best (I have tried to slip on the square when it rains, very cool ~);
4. : can have a heart for michael incomparable love, michael will bless the people who love him
Learning essentials
Space step
A first master Michael Jackson dance the most basic step: this is a similar to the rap step footsteps - respectively, with different feet of the Heel or toe alternately move step. This pace should be practiced more, to it can lead to a variety of steps (like side slide): to the left, to the right, back and forth movement; knee straight, or knee bending movement;
Two, vibration shoulders and crotch twisting: these two actions we should all be universal strength and amplitude is not enough, we have to continue to strengthen the training in this regard. Note that the twisting of the hips and other movements to be organically combined together, to have a sense of unity. Find a fixed drum beat music (jam, dangerous......) to follow the drum beat exaggerated 50% of the action, repeated 1-2 songs each time.
Three, throw the legs: to its representative of the dance is Billie jean, of course, if we have paid attention to the words Jackson in walking can be said to be all the time not to use his this stunt (except for the slow walking and skidding). Therefore, practicing this step is the key to infusing Michael's dance soul into your own dance. The skill lies in the relaxation of the calf, is to thigh to drive the calf fling, we can refer to black or white in Jackson and the indigenous dance, thigh fling to fast, strong, calf every time as if it is hit to the knee, as if it is a leg, pay attention to Billie jean in the split-leg action, remember to relax. Try relaxing your calves and flinging them hard with the power of your thighs, 50-100 times forward and 50-100 times to the side.
Four, the acceleration of each action: in blunt terms, it is to make the process of each swift action as short as possible, while paying attention to the standard of the fixed action. My experience is that I would rather stop for a second in place, but not half a second in the process of error, if not, it will appear to be a soft action, dragging. Also pay attention to the training of physical strength, generally soft movements will not naturally show when tired. Kicking and turning should pay attention to this training. It is a few unique signature movements to be constantly practiced, from rhythm to position, so that it becomes your own movement, that is, randomly can be made.
Fifth, rotation: rotation of this skill is somewhat similar to ligament pulling, first of all, to master the correct way to rotate, perhaps friends have other methods of rotation, and then is the practice of the basic skills, it can be said that this dance is the most test of the basic skills of the rotating circle depends on the strength of the thighs, the forefoot of the left foot endurance, the body in the rotation of balance and coordination, and there are skills. Thigh strength (standard squatting horse stance 3-4 minutes), left foot forefoot endurance (right foot hanging against the inside of the left foot, left foot heel off the ground toes hooked upward, so that the sole surface of the shoe and the ground contact area is as small as possible. Keep a song time), balance and coordination will rely on more turns to experience, skills Shenzhen Street Dance suggests that we first do not add the help circle, first practice direct turn, and then in the improvement.
Sixth, neck: If you want to imitate Jackson, then you must be able to move the neck, and also a great amplitude. This is another soul of Jackson dance. Side against the wall so that one side of the body completely with the wall (feet, legs, arms, shoulders), try to make their face to the wall, each time to adhere to 20 seconds, repeated 10 times, change sides. Both sides are practiced after hands holding shoulders to the mirror to try to move.
seven, mouth shape: Jackson used to use a few mouth shape, bite the lower lip, pout, grin.
Eight, ringing: finger and a mandatory course, attention is to ring the finger when the hand movement.
nine, hand shape: habitual hand shape everyone should pay attention to, dancing hand is not relaxed, to keep the hand shape, otherwise it will be very difficult to see.
Ten, skating: skating practice should start from the original skating practice, practice when both feet are tense, to practice the degree of resistance of the toes of each foot.
Exercise summary
Space step
The best practice summary of space step, why not try it?
Step 1: Find a pair of tighter flat shoes, you can start with soft soled shoes at first.
Step 2: Make sure the floor you're practicing on isn't too rough; try to find a smooth floor.
Step 3: Stand with your feet together, with your left foot slightly further forward than your right (the front of your right toe should be in line with the middle of your left toe).
Step 4: Then lift your right heel so that you look like you're walking and stand on the front of your right foot, keeping your left foot in place (be careful not to move it, you still need to keep your balance).
Step 5: As you put your right heel down, shift your full weight to your right foot and slowly drag your left foot backward so that your left toe is even with your right heel. Do this step with your left heel slightly off the ground, and don't step down with your left foot or you won't be able to slide up. Make sure you slowly lower your right heel at the same time as and move your left foot. Controlling your speed takes a lot of practice.
Step 6: Keep practicing these steps until you're sure you can do the move without any obstacles.
Step 7: Once you can become proficient at the above move, bring your left foot forward, but don't touch the floor; do it in a way that makes it look like you're kicking out just against the ground. Move it as far away from the front of your right toe as the equivalent of one foot. Don't lift any part of your left foot extra high.
Step 8: Move your left foot back to the initial position you started in and lift your right heel once again. Bend your left leg and repeat step 5. Keep practicing until you get all the essentials, can make them quite spontaneously, and are recognized by others. Eventually you'll be able to overcome gravity, so you can spacewalk like a pro.
Step 9: Once you're proficient at bending your right foot, switch feet and try to do the same with your left. Lift your left heel and drop your left foot as you slide backward with your right foot. Brace with your left foot and extend your right foot, then lift your left heel, then again move your right foot slowly backward as you lower your left foot.
