How to dance well in social dance

For beginners, the preliminary study is the key to learning to dance well, in the whole learning process, this period is the basic skills of the practice stage. According to years of practice and teaching experience, we have summarized the "four principles" for learning social dance: First, master the basic steps. (This is the foundation of learning.) Secondly, you should learn to count the beats of the music and master the rhythmic changes; in other words, you should have a sense of music. （In other words, you need to have a sense of music. (This is a necessary condition for learning.) Secondly, you need to understand the shape of your feet. (This is the key to learning.) Finally, practice breaking down each part until you are proficient. (This is a breath of fresh air, an important means of learning) In the learning process, it is worth noting that many practitioners are too eager to get results, and ignored the basic concepts of each dance category, thinking that as long as you can master the dance steps will be accomplished. In fact, it takes only one-fourth or one-fifth of the time in the entire learning process to become proficient in a dance, and it is not difficult to learn a dance, but it is very difficult to reach the pinnacle of understanding. On the other hand, some people tend to pay too much attention to written knowledge, and at the same time, some of the contents of the books are rather dogmatic and lack of practice, which is a big taboo in learning dance. This is what "practice makes perfect" is all about.　　Dancing Tips for Beginners The famous dancers in the world can win thunderous applause when they dance on stage. How many people are envied! But the reason for the success of dance masters is its secret, a famous dancer, they will start to choose a good environment to learn dance, this good environment is equipped with a variety of excellent conditions, first of all, he has to choose where to learn? Which teacher to learn from? Choose good music, good dance floor, but also a pair of good dancing shoes, the lack of one of these conditions will make you lose at the starting point, therefore, a famous dancer in the Japanese dance industry - Mr. Miura Kouzan once said: "Dance, you have to start with a good floor, good music, good partner. Only then is it possible to dance well."　　When it comes to the environment for learning to dance, it means the place where one learns to dance. Generally, there are activity centers, fellowship halls, conference halls, or large classrooms in large-scale buildings, and even private mansion apartments, which have available dance venues, followed by dance classrooms, dance halls, and dance floors. Dancers should not simply consider the convenience of proximity or cheapness as the main consideration in choosing a place to practice dance, as this will make you lose many opportunities. Generally speaking, the dance place should be equipped with both hardware and software equipment, wooden floor equipment is the ideal condition, but some activity centers or conference halls, etc., common tiles or plastic flooring, or even carpet flooring, because when the original design is not designed to dance for the purpose, so you can not choose, can only make do. Such a non-standard floor, is unable to achieve good results, it is best to choose to have a wooden floor place to practice dance is more appropriate. Of course, the general professional dance studio, whether the floor, sound, teachers and other equipment is more complete. As for the dance hall or dance floor, although the floor, sound and other equipment may be better, but the environment is more complex, of course, there are a few good dance venues, but also provides a good place to practice dance.　　Dance partner, of course, is also one of the conditions for practicing dance, how to choose a dance partner is also an important issue. As the saying goes, the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to Mo is black. Learning to dance is just like playing golf, you should play with people who are better than you are in order to help yourself and make progress. At the initial stage, it is not easy to tell who is better, but when you enter into the situation, you will find that the people around you are your dance partners or not. Of course, if someone is not drunk, look at the face of the best people, always included in the priority, as the conditions for the selection of partners, springtime, will always make people slow progress. To make progress, only to find a degree than your good people as a dance partner, will dance well.　　Choosing teachers, is also an important subject, can not think that the most award-winning people must be a good teacher, some people will dance will not teach, dance well but not teach well, or usually like to put on airs, not moving, scolding, tantrums, so that you lose confidence in themselves, hands and feet due to nervousness and stiffness, but also to learn what dance? You may get some information from your friends or the dance industry about who is a good teacher, or you can judge from different aspects. Generally speaking, those who have more full courses and more seniority are more experienced in teaching, and those who have affinity and serious teaching attitude are also teachers of a higher standard. Of course, in addition to teaching dance, the teacher should also pay attention to the appearance and temperament of the teacher, after all, dancing is a kind of gentlemanly movement with international etiquette, and if you are not well-dressed, and if you can't stop smoking cigarettes, and if you can't stand the smell of cigarettes, your mood in class will be very much affected, and there is absolutely no such thing in international dance. There is no such thing in the international dance world. Some teachers are accustomed to teaching group classes, so you will feel like an unhappy woman in the palace if you can't get a few minutes out of an hour. If you choose a class with fewer sessions or individual lessons, the tuition fee may be higher, but the teacher will have more time to teach you. It is a choice between money and time, so feel your pockets before deciding!　　Finally, when it comes to dancing shoes, it is the most important item for dancers. If music is the soul of the dancer, dancing shoes are the life of the dancer, an extension of the dancer's body, and also a part of the body, and the general public may think it is okay to wear a pair of ordinary shoes, so why spend money on dancing shoes? Or simply buy a pair of cheap imitation shoes to make up for the fact that they are not very good dancers anyway, and beware of some teachers or stores that desperately try to sell inferior dancing shoes in order to make more money for higher profits. This concept of "stealing only a penny is not a thief" is a poison that hinders progress. We must know that if we want to do a good job, we must first make good use of our tools, and each kind of dance has its own special shoes, such as modern dance shoes for modern dance, Latin dance shoes for Latin dance, ballet shoes for ballet, tap shoes for ballet, and most recently, exclusive tango shoes. Dance shoes, the British Shiba dance shoes company this year, more introduced to teachers or judges dedicated coaching shoes, division of labor is very fine, each kind of shoes have its different structure and characteristics, in order to adapt to a variety of different steps, it is recommended that beginners can first buy a pair of practice shoes for practice to dance, such as the Shiba 1026, into the second stage, you can then buy a pair of Latin Modern dual-use shoes, the girls learn to wear a two-inch low-heeled shoes to start, and then slowly increase the height of the shoes for the first time. Start, slowly increase the height to two and a half inches, three inches ...... So that the center of gravity will not be unstable sprained ankles, too high heel for beginners is a thrilling burden. Low-heeled dancing shoes, most of the beginners and tall, or jump male step of the girl's favorite, and three-inch high heels do make people become graceful, ting ting, suitable for a higher degree of dancers, will not make good use of the dancing shoes of the dancers, just like the players on the golf course, choose the wrong bat, can not go to the green, only the regret of the lost applause and prizes.　　This year, I had the opportunity to visit those dance shoes manufacturers while watching the British Blackpool Competition, and was curious about the constant flow of Shiba dance shoes, and also did a lot of in-depth discussions to understand why their dance shoes are so popular in the world every year, and their research on ergonomics and a huge lineup of design, which really makes me feel admired, because there is suspicion of favoritism in the advertisements, it is not appropriate to introduce here, but there is one thing that I have to say. However, there is one thing that I have to say, that is, Mr. Mick Free, the old chairman of the board of directors of Shiba Shoes, said a famous quote to me, which I very much agree with, he said, "Dancing starts from the ears, then from your feet, dancing shoes are part of the dancer's body, you can never ignore it." This is a very deep quote, and it is also a very important thing for me. It's a deep quote and a summary of their decades of experience in shoemaking.
