Square dance footwork basic knowledge

1. What are the basic dancing footsteps

A leg press This is the most basic training in the basic training of dance, respectively, the pressure of the front, side and back legs.

The practice of leg press helps to open the ligaments of the leg joints. When pressing the leg, pay attention to the leg joints of the upright, the back of the foot to open outward taut, and keep the upper body of the upright.

Press down until there is no gap between the upper body and the legs. Individual students ligaments are too tight, in the process of pressing the legs do not be demanding must be pressed down, maintain the correct posture, day after day can lengthen the ligaments, to meet the requirements.

Special attention should be paid to the hips. When pressing the side leg and back leg, students are most likely to be out of the hips and oblique hips, which need to be corrected in time.

When pressing the side leg, the hand on the same side holds the handle bar, and the other arm is close to the ear, close to the leg and stretch as far as possible to lengthen the side waist. When pressing the back leg, be careful to keep your shoulders flat, keep your neck from scrunching, brace your head so it doesn't fall, and stretch back.

Accompaniment: Choose music with a strong sense of rhythm. 2 Shoulder Press This is an exercise to open the shoulder ligaments. When you press your shoulders, keep your arms straight on the bar.

The distance between your legs is slightly equal to the width of your shoulders. Relax your head and spine, and feel the shoulder ligaments lengthen as you press down.

Accompaniment: medium speed, soothing rhythm 2/4 Three Push Back Combination The goodness of the back of the foot varies from person to person, most of it depends on the innate factors, but you can't neglect the training of the latter. Before training, from the toes to the whole big foot back to move; training, hands on the handle bar, chest up, abdomen and buttocks, feet together and stand well, first from the single foot back training.

1-2 beat single foot heel up, five toes tightly grasping the ground 3-4 beat toes taut, push to the wall, so that the whole back of the foot taut into a crescent-shaped 5-8 beat change the other foot, the same action Double back exercises are also the same. Young students in doing this kind of training, attention is not focused, easy to look down to see their own and other people's movements, in the do push the back of the foot, the feet are easy to open, the back of the foot can not be pushed up, the need to always remind and standardize the action.

The four pole training combinations There is a big difference between children's dance training and professional dance training. It is not possible to do the combination of movements on the poles with the same intensity and difficulty as the professional students.

Unless they have been trained for a number of years as amateurs, they can reach the professional level before they are able to do the combination of difficulty and intensity. Children and teenagers are active and love fun and interesting movements, which requires teachers to pay attention to the structure of simple and easy to learn, students have the ability to do when arranging these combinations of movements on the handle bar.

Fun to learn, will naturally stimulate students' interest in learning, coupled with the teaching of students to give appropriate encouragement and praise, students accept the fast. The basic lever action combination: 1 (two hands / one hand) hold the handle, a foot wipe combination 2 (two hands / one hand) hold the handle, a foot squatting combination 3 (two hands / one hand) hold the handle, a foot paddle combination 4 five feet, one hand to hold the combination of small kicks 5 five feet, one hand to hold the center of gravity combination 6 (two hands / one hand) to turn the waist combination of these combinations, suitable for the children and teenagers' physical fitness and acceptance of the ability to learn, as students As students continue to progress in all aspects, on this basis to increase the difficulty, changing patterns, to achieve the requirements of dance training.

Five kicking back hands holding the handle bar small eight part of the station, the knees should be taut, head up and look straight ahead. In the process of kicking back, the upper body to remain immobile, do not turn back sideways, crotch can not be loose, the back of the foot and the knee should be taut.

Never lean forward. If in the repeated emphasis, students still do not do in place, you can first single contact control back leg that is, hands on the handle bar, lift one leg backward, correct the students' posture, and then excessive to kick backward.

Six Split Leg Jump is a jump combination with hands on the handle bar that prepares the student to learn the middle jump. When doing this jump, pay attention to the opening of both feet at the same time, one in front of the other. During the opening process, straighten the insteps and straighten the knees, the higher the jump, the more open the legs are. When landing, both feet quickly close together, both feet together on the ground. The seven big kicks are exercises to develop the strength and openness of the legs. Whether it is the front leg or the side leg, keep the upper body upright, the middle part of the body clenched, and the eyes looking forward. During the kicking process, it is also important to keep the instep and knee straight. Many students try to reach forward with their upper body in order to touch their leg to their body when kicking. When they do this, their necks retract, their heads go forward, and their knees bend, which is very unsightly. Therefore, before kicking the legs, they should be warned that it doesn't matter if they don't kick high enough, the most important thing is to maintain the correct posture. Under this premise, with hard practice, the legs will be kicked higher and higher and the ligaments will be stretched longer and longer. When students make small progress, we should give timely appreciation and encouragement. Some students go home and practice on their own, and in the classroom the teacher can clearly feel the changes and improvements, then it is even more important to give appropriate praise, otherwise it will frustrate the student's motivation to learn. In addition to the body and legs to pay attention to, the two arms should not be ignored. In the process of kicking the legs, make sure that the arms are flat and not relaxed. Eight lower back The age of the younger students waist flexibility is good, but the hands and feet are not strong, can not support the body, often with the head on the ground lower back. Teachers should give students with appropriate help to protect them, correct the posture of the lower back, tell them to force the parts and methods of lower back. Open your feet to shoulder width, stretch your arms upward, and open your fingers with your palms facing forward. When you lower your waist, lean your upper body back, lift your head back and look for your heels, lean your body and hands towards your heels and roll them in. When you're done, keep your arms and knees as straight as you can and keep your eyes on your heels. For the older students who have some basic skills, let them do the Waist Throwing Exercise to increase the intensity of the training. After finishing the exercise, pay attention to the back exercise: squat down with feet together, hold the knees with both hands, and bury the head down. Teachers follow the spine to students to do ***, to protect their spine from injury. Nine leg splits are good for stretching students' leg ligaments. When training, pay attention to the back of the foot should not be loose. We can train in this order: 1 left foot in front of the leg splits, hands holding the left foot, control 1-2 minutes, then the leg does not move, the body backward. If you have basic knowledge, you can hold the ground with your right hand and control the back leg with your left hand. 2 Left foot in front of the vertical fork does not move, the body turns to the right at the same time to change the hips, into a horizontal fork. The backs of the feet should not be on the ground. The upper body and the backs of the feet should stand up and then the upper body should lie down on the ground with the arms stretched forward. Stay on your back for 1-2 minutes. 3 Cross without moving, then turn to the right into a vertical cross with the right foot in front. Repeat for 1 ten small jump combinations to train students' jumping ability....

2. How to dance square dance looks like the footsteps are too light

How to grasp and do Latin dance footsteps light and "iron plate nail"? Latin dance, the foot should have the power, as if the iron plate nail, but have the power and easy to cause stiffness, so how can I practice and do the foot step light and the bottom of the foot and have the power? Before answering this question, I would like to explain the concept of "main leg/foot" and "power leg/foot", simply put "main leg/foot" is the leg/foot that supports the body weight; "power leg/foot" is the leg/foot that supports the body weight; "power leg/foot" is the leg/foot that supports the body weight; "power leg/foot" is the leg/foot that supports the body weight. The "power leg/foot" is the leg/foot that does not support the body weight and is used for various movements such as striding, lifting, etc.

In the jumping position, the "power leg/foot" is the leg/foot that supports the body weight.

In the process of Latin dance, in addition to standing still and modeling, "main leg/foot" and "power leg/foot" are constantly changing, so it is reasonable to think that the dance is "main leg/foot" and "power leg/foot". Therefore, it is reasonable to think that dance is a dynamic process in which the "main leg/foot" and "power leg/foot" are constantly transformed, which involves the issues of "current main leg/foot" and "current power leg/foot". This is a dynamic process, which involves the issues of "current lead leg/foot" and "current power leg/foot". At a certain point in the dance process, the leg/foot that supports the body weight is called the "current main leg/foot"; the other leg/foot that does not support the body weight is called the "current power leg/foot".

Generally speaking, in the course of the dance, there are two movements occurring simultaneously at a certain time: the roll/movement of the center of gravity in different parts of the "current lead leg/foot" and the step movement of the "current power leg/foot". Since the roll/movement of the center of gravity in different parts of the "current lead leg/foot" is usually invisible or less intuitive, people, especially beginners, first focus on the "current power leg/foot" and call the rhythm on the "current power leg/foot". "current power leg/foot".

The line to this point, you may have understood the above problem, "light footsteps" is for the "current power leg / foot", step to be flexible, agile, do not drag the mud; "the foot should have a The phrase "with strength, as if nailed to the iron plate" is for the "current main leg/foot". "The stability and strength of the current lead leg/foot is a prerequisite for the quality of the current power leg/foot, which is especially important in the M. The current lead leg/foot is the only one that can be used for the movement.

In addition, the timing of the music is a continuation of the "current lead leg/foot", not the "current power leg/foot". Many dancers don't notice this, and it's only when you learn to dance with the "current lead leg/foot" that you get out of the beginner's phase and have a deeper understanding of the rhythm of the music.

3. Dance beginners just started to understand what knowledge

Need to master the basics

1, flexibility: on the human body joints in terms of the magnitude of activity. Flexibility of the human segment is not rigid, elegant and beautiful.

2, control and stability: control refers to the dance muscle tension to maintain balance control and to ensure the formation of the dance posture of the fixed force; stability refers to the performance of adjusting, controlling, and restoring the human body balance and stability of the ability.

3, coordination and flexibility: coordination refers to the whole body muscle groups can coordinate with each other; flexibility refers to the ability to quickly change the position and direction of some parts of the body or limbs.

Extended information

Learning to dance taboos:

Dance degree of learning to avoid laziness

Learning to dance before to be psychologically prepared, both the difficulty of the dance action back to work with the degree of standardization required, will be beyond imagination. Splits, waist, crotch pressure, etc., is the torture of the body, but also on the body's exercise, to learn to dance, in addition to not afraid of hard work and hard to insist on the answer, to do practice makes perfect, there is no other better way. This is also a process of honing the will, hard, boring dance fundamentals training, need enough will to adhere to.

Dance learning avoid one-sided pursuit of dance movements, ignoring the expression of emotion dance is the art of movement, although it can also be called a sport, but it is a clear difference with sports. First of all, the dance on the movement of the aesthetic requirements rose to the level of art; secondly, the dance performance is more needed through the beautiful dance movements to show a unique emotion.

4. Seek some learning dance skills or basic knowledge

Dance skills a vertical traction skills. It is also known as the physical requirements. That is, the whole body under the state of relaxation to find a kind of ceiling of the upright feeling, a kind of along the lumbar spine, cervical vertebrae straight to the top of the head of the longitudinal traction effect, abdominal spread chest, back flat, waist and hips pulled up, shoulders down, knees inward, vertical ground. For Modern Dance, there are two special requirements: one is the arm grip, around the frame will never be deformed, the second is the head slightly to the left, the upper body slightly backward. Two: the plane pulling technique. This is the key to realize the transfer of the center of gravity. The main point is that, no matter forward and backward to the left and right, the waist and hips power to drive the legs and feet: the feet move with the body, the body to the feet, the body moves with the hips, the hips to the body to. Even if the body and feet arrive at the same time, the difference in awareness between the feet moving with the body or the body moving with the feet will bring very different results. It is only when the feet move with the body that the dragon (snake) swings its tail and flows like a river. Some people have been dancing for many years, why they still "step on the foot" and "afraid to step on the foot", is because the body follows the foot movement. Third, the skill of not missing traces. This is the high level of weight transfer. The main point is that the inside of the soles of the feet, to avoid both feet at the same time to bear the weight, try to shorten the time of sharing the center of gravity of both feet, so that people can not see the single foot to both feet, both feet to a single foot traces of the alternation of the center of gravity. Even when a parallel step is encountered, it is accomplished in the last moment (waltz) or the first moment (tango) after the feet are brought together in place. Full Foot Rolling Technique. Rolling refers to the process of moving the center of gravity of the human body in the position of the sole of the foot, whether the toe rolls to the heel or the heel rolls to the toe, should be smooth and steady, not only with the sole of the foot. This rolling consciousness should also have knee flexibility with the presentation of a human body flow does not see the center of gravity alternating state, this rolling brings the ups and downs and artificial hard bumps are not the same. Five reverse skills. The so-called reverse body, that is, the waist axis rotating consciousness driven upper body (incomplete) rotation, as if twisting rice-planting songs, "the left leg forward (back), the body to the left (right) to turn; right leg forward (back), the body to the right (left) to turn". Its role is to help the body's center of gravity out, the center of gravity just in place, the reverse body will disappear in the natural tilt. Reversals are not only a prelude to a spinning step, but also a transition between other steps. Without the reversal, the body is stiff; with the reversal, the center of gravity is transferred. Tilt. Tilting is characterized by the deviation of the longitudinal axis of the body from vertical coordinates. Its function is to promote the flow of the body through the lumbar axis, and to accompany the reverse movement to show the curvaceous shape. As with the reverse, attention should be paid to the twisting of the shoulders and the bending of the waist. VII Swinging Technique. The sense of swing is realized by the power of the waist and hips, and its function is to increase the width of the step and enhance the flow of the body. In order to obtain the sense of swing, it is necessary to use the foot thrust along with the waist and hip force, as well as the cooperation of the knee joints, so as to realize the movement of the body in the air. VIII Elevation and Lifting Technique. In order to promote the transfer of the center of gravity, to achieve the purpose of plane traction lifting, that is, the palm of the foot as the center, first make the heel slightly off the ground, in the process of heel rise gradually straighten the knees, so that the body rises to the highest, and then with the knee bending to make the heel gradually fall to the ground. Nine lead and follow skills. The two should be a whole body information transfer and feedback. The lumbar force commanding the whole body of all this information, relying on the never deformed arm grip, to the other side of the transmission and feedback. In modern dances, such as the waltz, there should also be a point of contact between the hips and the waist for more effective transmission and feedback. At the same time, both dancers must maintain a stable center of gravity and relative independence, without the slightest dependence on the other's motivation. The lead dancer must be precise and decisive, and the followers must not make their own decisions. Rhythmic skills. In addition to the basic requirement of accurate footwork, dancers should also deal with the original beat to make it colorful. For example, we will waltz the two weak beat melted together to form a "Boom Chop. Chop" of the point of change, with the last moment to the highest, flowing style of the full sound. As for the bullfighting dance tango, cowboy dance cha-cha-cha, the traditional middle four dance fox-trot, the traditional slow four dance rumba, may have a different flavor. \The purpose is to make the transition of every detail of the body dance as smooth as possible, without sudden changes.

In order to achieve the realm of no trace, the requirements of the "three lower limbs": the knee buckle, the sole of the foot on the inside of the foot, the foot to go to the inner arc. This "three inside" can maximize the effective avoidance of both feet at the same time to bear the weight, at the same time to share the center of gravity, leaving no traces from the single foot to the double feet, double feet to the single-foot center of gravity alternation, so as to better realize the foot with the body, promote the body line flow, enhance the fluidity of the body dance.

The best feeling of full-footed rolling dance Full-footed rolling refers to the soles of the feet from front to back and back to front, like a wheel that touches the ground sequentially and gradually. From front to back: along the toes, the foot to the heel; from back to front: along the heel, the foot to the toes.

The purpose of the full foot roll: to achieve high quality foot movement. The so-called high-quality foot movement is that every moment the body is in the tendency to fall, the edge of the danger; manifested in the movement of the sole of the foot trajectory, it is gradually contact with the ground, the formation of the sole of the foot rolling.

Feet with the body to move is the advanced stage of dance "feet with the body to move" the simplest feeling to experience: the body is about to fall (whether forward or backward) the moment, the foot immediately followed out; how much to fall, how much to follow out; 1 millimeter to fall, follow out 1 millimeter. Keep this feeling of tipping, of danger, forever.

With this feeling, you will get everything. Without this feeling, nothing is possible.

The feeling of the feet moving with the body has a metaphor: in front of a ditch about 1 meter wide, you cross the process is "feet moving with the body" process. And the "body with the feet move" walk is not go through.

The advanced stage of the national standard modern dance to the body to express the musical qualities and connotations of the music, the action seems to flow, a breath of fresh air. Characterized by: 1. Sufficient luck in the dantian, directly into the dantian when inhaling, the dantian of the gas to hold the upper body, when exhaling from the upper body of the gas out of the nose.

The whole body floats on the ground like a "hovercraft", naturally floating when inhaling and slowly falling when exhaling. 2. 100 percent of the body to dance, the body moves as if there is no need to touch the ground, but only slightly with the help of the ground rebound, the upper body has a uniform and meticulous speed and a clear sense of rhythm.

3. Use the luck of the dantian to drive the contraction and extension of joints, tendons and muscles. Make the waist, abdomen, hips, knees and other joints of the flexion and extension and muscles, ligaments, and the relaxation of the more stable and free.

4. Two male and two female dance partners can be compared to two objects, and two objects combined can be counted as a single one.

5. What are the basic steps of street dance

(1) In-situ skating: Preparatory posture: two feet side by side, two arms hanging down naturally.

Action process: left foot heel, the center of gravity of the body falls on the forefoot, in the left foot after the pressure of the heel of the right foot straight backward glide a foot of distance, and then toes off the ground, flexed leg forward to the original position, the right foot heel, at the same time, the right foot ah heel, and then complete the right foot for the support of the foot, the left foot sliding backward movement. The two *** alternative to skating in place.

Practice tips: the combination of single-armed, double-armed forward waves and up and down waves in place skating exercises. You should also strengthen your hiking or weighted heel lifts to improve the strength of your slapping ankles and toes.

(2) Front Slide: Preparatory Position: Same as above Action Process: First, the left foot and leg straight toward the toes of the direction of the front slide step, followed by the left foot to lift the heel, the right foot straight and toward the toes of the direction of the front slide step. At this time, the left foot pressure heel, the right foot to complete the heel movement, two *** alternative forward skating.

Exercise tip: The toe direction of the front slide can be towards the front or outside. (3) Backward Slide: 1. Backward Slide on Heel: Same as above.

The process of action: the left foot lifts the heel, in the pressure of the heel, the right foot straight, the whole foot backward smooth, when the right toe slides to the left heel, make the toe point to the ground, the heel lift, the instep is perpendicular to the ground, then the right foot pressure of the heel, the left leg straighten the whole foot backward smooth, make the toe slides to the right heel, make the tip of the foot point to the ground, the left heel lift, the instep is perpendicular to the ground, the left and right *** alternatively to complete the backward slide action. Exercise tips: the main point of the action is that one heel touches the ground, the other heel is lifted, repeated alternation.

When the backward sliding foot stops sliding, the toes point to the ground, the instep is perpendicular to the ground. When the action is skillful, you can increase the width of the backward sliding step.

When practicing, pay attention to control the center of gravity. 2.Heel Slide Pre-position: stand with your feet together, arms hanging down naturally.

Action process: the left foot for the support foot right leg knee straight, the whole foot after the slide to the left foot heel, at the same time, the left foot lifting the heel. Straighten the knee of the left leg, slide the whole foot to the right foot, and lift the right foot to the heel at the same time.

Alternate backward glides on the left and right ***. Exercise tip: Lift the shoulder of the same side of the heel lift upward while gliding, and pass the maneuver in the opposite direction with one arm joint.

(4) Horizontal Slide: 1. Heel Press Horizontal Slide Preparatory position: stand on the left and right side of the foot, toes in front of each other, one foot apart. Action process: toes to the left, heel lifting at the same time the heel close to the right heel, when the left foot pressure heel, the right foot straight, the palm of the foot to the right smooth step to the right toe forward, can be to the right to complete the cross-sliding action.

Practice Tip: The number of times you slide across to the left and right can be slid according to the needs of the action. 2. Double Heel Slide Pre-position: stand on both feet, toes in eights, arms hanging down naturally.

The action process; (to the right side of the slide as an example) the center of gravity to the right, when the right crotch lift the two heels, the right foot to drive the left foot to the right to move a foot distance, so that the two heels close to the heel, the right foot and then to the right side of the move a step, return to the preparatory position. Exercise tips: the main point of the action is to move the center of gravity of the body driven by the waist and hips.

3. Crossing* Horizontal Sliding Steps Preparatory position: both feet open to the left and right, the left toe to the left, arms hanging down naturally. Action process: (to the right cross slide for example) left foot heel lift, heel close to the right heel.

As the left foot presses the heel, the right leg straightens and the whole foot slides sideways to the right. Then quickly turn the toes inward on the forefoot of each foot.

When the left foot crosses in front of the right foot (toes over the right), both forefeet continue to grind the ground, causing the left toe to overshoot the left and the heel to lift, and the right toe to turn to the front. Prepare to start the second crossover.

Practice tips: the main point of this slide is to grind the ground on the forefoot, to make the two feet moving route in two parallel lines, the beginner first slide in one direction, skilled to complete the left and right sides of the cross * cross slide. 4. Turning cross-sliding step Preparatory movements: the same as above Action process: the left foot lifting the heel at the same time to make the tip of the foot over the left, when the heel of the left foot to the right foot blocking the arch close together, the left foot pressure on the heel, the right leg straight left cross-sliding a step.

At this time, the left heel touches the ground, the right foot lifts the heel, the left foot straightens and turns to the right toe side, the body turns 180 degrees to the right rear, then the right heel touches the ground, the left foot lifts the heel, the right leg straightens and slides horizontally to the right one step. Repeat this method to complete the action.

Practice tips: the key to the action is to press the heel while the other leg sliding action. (5) Prismatic skating: according to the main points of the cross-skating movement combined with the turning movement for prismatic skating, practice tips: 1. turn the body to be flexible.

The prismatic slide can be completed in a clockwise direction. 2. 2. Combine body and arm movements in the turn and slide.

(6) Circular Steps /v?ct=301989888&rn=20&pn=0&db=0&s=8&word=%BD%D6%CE%E8%B2%BD%B7%A8%BD%CC%D1%A7&fr=ala0.
