There are just a few basic dance steps

Chen Wenjing's six basic dance steps are as follows:

1, just walking around?

The pace of walking back and forth is 2-3-4-&; -1, when stepping forward, the center of gravity is on the front foot, the toe of the back foot touches the ground, and the instep is stretched straight; When retreating, the center of gravity is on the hind foot, the front toe touches the ground, and the instep is stretched straight.

In the practice of basic movements, when moving the left foot, the right wrist drives the upper arm to draw a circle inward and downward and then straighten it; When moving the right foot, the left arm circles inward and downward, and then straightens out. The cervical spine should be forced upward, the shoulders should sink, and the arms should move naturally with the rhythm. Don't push too hard. The waist muscles tighten and the hip steps move in the direction of the force generated by the confrontation between the foot and the ground.

Step by step?

In fact, the merger step is a horizontal step. Because of the confrontation between the feet and the ground, the crotch rotates left and right. The left foot first moves to the left, then the right foot follows, then the left foot moves to the left, and the right foot does not move. This rhythm is often called "just right".

Step 3 turn at a fixed point

Rhythm is the most basic 2-3-4-&; -1 completes 360-degree rotation in two actions.

One leg, such as the right leg, stands upright. On the first beat, the left foot passes through the body from the front and moves to the right of the body. At the end of this rhythm, the body rotates to the right 180 degrees, and the left foot stands upright. The second step is to change the center of gravity in situ, that is, the right foot is upright. Then cross your left foot from back to left to complete the "just right" step. The rhythm of rotation is 2-4, and the synchronization is 4-&; - 1。 Keep your head when you rotate. ?

4. new york steps?

The rhythm is also 2-3-4-&; -1, feet are similar to time steps and square steps. First, one leg is upright, such as the right leg, and the left leg is half-legged.

In the first shot, the left foot quickly passes through the body from the front and moves to the right of the body. The left leg is upright and the right leg is slightly bent. The knee of the right leg is close to the knee of the left leg, and the right foot touches the ground. At this time, it is a semi-gravity state, and the center of gravity is between the left and right feet, leaving the left leg. This action is called "check".

At this time, the whole left arm straightens backward and upward, showing an action similar to the appearance of Beijing opera, and the rhythm of this "2" is slightly longer. In the next beat, push your right leg straight and your center of gravity will reach between your left and right feet. Then the left leg retreats from the front to complete the merging step.

5. measured steps?

A square step is a cross formed by two steps. The first step is to move your left foot forward, complete the "inspection", and then come back to complete the left foot, with the center of gravity at the end. Step 2: Retract the right foot backward, shift the center of gravity directly to the right foot, and then move the right foot forward to complete the reverse merger step.

6. Time step?

The time step is the in-situ movement of the center of gravity, followed by the merging step. Preparatory action: center of gravity of left foot, right foot open. You can also put your right foot back, the sole of your foot touches the ground and the instep collapses.

Extended data:

Just like the rumba dance, the cha-cha dance starts from the second beat of the music.

For men, the correct way is to stand with your feet slightly apart and focus on your left foot. On the first beat, the right foot takes a small step to the right (as opposed to the female), and then the left foot moves forward (the female's right foot moves backward) to perform basic movements. The beat counting methods are: "slow, slow, fast, slow", "step, step, just right" and "2,3,4 &; 1, all the steps are calculated like this.

Some dancers in Britain still put their left feet forward at the first beat of music, and the number is "L, 2, Cha Cha". This method is easier for beginners to learn. However, the above number method "2, 3, 4&; 1 "is only used for exams and competitions organized by the Dance Teachers' Association.

Grip: the grip of cha-cha is the same as samba, and the position of holding the pen and shaking the hand is the same as rumba.

Footsteps: Footsteps are the same as rumba. You go out on tiptoe and then land on your whole foot. No heel guidance.

Chacha dance is lively, enthusiastic and playful because of its fast accompaniment and dance steps. Its footwork music has four beats and five steps per bar: slow, slow, fast and fast. Take one step at a time, take two steps at a time.

Every dance step should put pressure on the forefoot and bend your knees slightly. When the center of gravity falls on one foot, the heel is lowered, the knee is straight, the hip swings backward, and the other leg is relaxed. Hip swing should be obvious, but jumping fast need not be emphasized.

The focus of the cha-cha dance is to lift the feet inside, and the choreography of the dance structure should not be too long, while the combination dance includes the direct face-to-face dance of the audience, and the coordination of each movement beat is very important.
