How to combine gymnastics and dance for young children

We have led children to participate in group gymnastics competitions and dance competitions, and we have personally experienced and felt the sweet and sour from the initial training to the final competition. So I often compare gymnastics and dance, and have some small ideas of my own. If the two are skillfully combined together, you have me, I have you, learn from each other, complement each other, and promote each other, then no matter whether it is for early childhood gymnastics or early childhood dance, I think the effect must be more characteristics and charm. First, in the basic training of a beautiful set of basic gymnastics or dance for young children can not be separated from the usual basic training, both in many places there are similar places. Such as: training young children to stand, stand, walk the correct posture, as well as waist, legs, hip softness, openness, flexibility, etc., young children's taut feet from the heel, rubbing the ground, leg pressure, kicking, balance ...... and a series of basic skills. But if you want to break it down, the two training programs, standards and focus are very different. For example: gymnastics seeks to move cleanly, horizontally and vertically, with strength as the focus. Dance, on the other hand, focuses on the softness and undulation of the movement, with the rhythmic beauty as the focus. Although the focus of the two are different, but can be interspersed at the right time to combine the use. I train children in the basic skills of gymnastics, it is appropriate to intersperse some of the basic skills of dance training. Such as: training children with beautiful music to do ballet hand position exercises, wrist flower exercises and ballet small jumps, big jumps in a variety of dance steps, so that children in the training, the experience of force at the same time also feel some of the soft artistic qualities of the dance, so that they can appreciate the activities of the art of gymnastics and the beauty of the force of a deeper level of understanding and grasp. In turn, in the training of young children's basic dance skills, can also be interspersed with some gymnastics skills, strength and other aspects of training, so that young children in the experience of dance soft and beautiful at the same time also feel some of the characteristics of the force of gymnastics. So that the two soft in just, just in soft, just soft, is not the embodiment of the beauty of it? Second, in the action of the choreography Participants in the basic gymnastics competition for young children will know, young children in the completion of a set of gymnastics action, the referee team will play two scores, one is the completion of the action score, the other is the action of the choreography score, visible choreography for the whole set of the importance of the action. If there is no good choreography, then even if the movements are completed in the right place, it can not be called wonderful. It is important to put more effort into the choreography of the movements. I decided to combine the gymnastics and dance of young children skillfully interspersed. Enhance the overall movement of the artistic infectious force. Therefore, in addition to the basic skills training to do the dance and gymnastics interspersed with the use of choreography in the full use of the artistic qualities of both . For example, some of the basic dance steps such as the parallel step, step, running step, spring step, etc. are skillfully interspersed in the changes in the formation, so that the articulation of the various actions more varied and dynamic. In addition, in some small combinations are also timely interspersed with some beautiful dance movements, do not underestimate these "small movements", it is the icing on the cake, the role of the finishing touch! Third, in the selection of music in gymnastics or dance, can not be ignored in the understanding of music and grasp, because they need to be accompanied by music to make a beautiful and harmonious movements, and all in one, reflecting the perfect combination. Therefore, training children to listen to music, understand music and feel music is also an important task in training. In music, there are lively and cheerful music passages, gentle and lyrical music passages, and also exciting music passages. How to make movements in different styles of music passages, it is necessary to think more about the music. Gymnastics and dance have the same understanding and grasp of music. So how to choose the music of gymnastics and dance? And how to do a skillful combination? In my opinion, gymnastics music is characterized by a distinctive rhythm and marching style. But can also be interspersed at the right time a beautiful lyrical "dance style music", in the music of the rapid changes in the embodiment of the force of gymnastics and the characteristics of the United States. Make the action with the changes in music and change, increase the infectious force of gymnastics. And in the dance music, also add in some rhythmic distinctive "gymnastics flavor music", I think the effect is also very good. Of course, music is a very large, very broad art category, there is no gymnastics dance, only, in many years of teaching, feel some of the subtle relationship between the two, as well as different choices of music. I think, no matter for gymnastics or dance, the shock and expression brought by good music is self-evident. Gymnastics and dance are two different types of activities, but because they belong to the same category of art, they naturally have their common aspects. I personally believe that as long as the skillful use of interspersed, will receive the perfect performance effect of power and beauty.
