Children dance has a sense of rhythm, and it is an art to express people's inner mentality and reflect social real life by beautifying human body movements. Children dance has many social meanings and functions in the study of study, sports, socialization, etiquette and even aesthetic theory. Children dance's own attributes determine that a dancer must carry out systematic, long-term and arduous basic training in order to succeed.
First, the relationship between children dance's basic skills and learning
1. figure and dance
For children, the lack of basic physical skills usually does not have much impact on the overall technical level, because the dance moves they are exposed to in the primary stage are relatively simple. But when children jump to a certain level, these bad habits will restrict the further improvement of their dance level and affect their performance level. Body dance practice can start from the following three aspects: first, insist on doing ballet hands, feet and body exercises to make your body beautiful and spiritual; Second, do some in-situ or marching dances? Frame type? Comprehensive exercises can make children's partners integrate physically and mentally, eliminate redundant strength, fully display the curvy beauty of human body lines, and establish an overall information transmission network system between them; The third is to develop the habit of dancing in a vertically relaxed state, so as to ensure that the whole body can reach a natural state of being tight but not stiff, and straight (stiff) but not hard.
2. Physical quality and motor function
Children learn to dance and develop physical quality and motor function (balance, coordination, rhythm, spatial perception, etc.). ) are the foundation of the foundation. To develop physical fitness, we should focus on developing the strength of small muscle groups, such as the soles of the feet, the inside of the hip joint, the spine, the shoulder straps and the arms, because these small muscle groups play a vital role in maintaining body balance, maintaining good body posture and completing some unconventional movements. At the same time, we should also pay attention to improving the flexibility of ankle joint, hip joint, thoracic joint and shoulder strap, because whether the movement is in place, whether the body can stretch to the maximum extent, whether the movement is natural and generous, and whether it has good expressive force, these parts need good flexibility support, so it is necessary to improve the child's motor function.
Second, the basic training of children's dance
1. Strength training
Strength training refers to the training of children's muscle strength, jumping ability and endurance. As we all know, there are many jumping and running movements in dance. For children, there will be actions that require high intensity. For example, ballet requires actors to hold up actresses, which requires certain strength conditions. Moreover, dance consumes a lot of physical strength, and strengthening endurance training is also the basic requirement of dance performance.
2. Flexibility training
Flexibility training refers to the training of children's physical flexibility, so that children can control the range of their joint activities, make the movements of dance performances more elegant and beautiful, and also meet the requirements of some dance movements that require high flexibility.
3. Stability training
Stability training refers to the adjustment, control and recovery of children's own balance, which can ensure the safety and smoothness of performances. For example, in modern dance or street dance, there are many jumps or dangerous movements. If you can't guarantee your own stability and balance, it is easy to have accidents and cause harm to the actors.
4. Coordination and flexibility training
Coordination refers to adjusting each muscle group to ensure their coordination; Flexibility means that an actor can adjust the position and direction of his joints and parts according to the actual situation, which is also to ensure the beauty and safety of the dance performance.
5. Basic skills training of national dance
(1) Twist: It is the basic posture of classical dance. Almost all movements in classical dance are based on the trunk? Twist? And developed. The focus of training is to adjust the body's center of gravity and master the ability of balance, which requires the actors to perform skills in the state of leaning forward and crossing, which requires extremely high control of the center of gravity and mastery of balance, and is also the focus of classical dance training.
(2) Shuan: It is a unique way of movement of classical dance. In the actions of washing hair, chest and waist, * * * together constitute the unique artistic style of classical dance.
(3) Force: refers to the strength and speed in dance. Classical dance requires tight movements, high speed, rigid and flexible combination, dynamic and static combination, as quiet as a virgin, as moving as a rabbit, in sharp contrast.
(4) live: refers to the flexibility of dance movements, and the performance of classical dance requires the actors to be flexible and light, such as? Swallows go through the forest? High-tech movements like this require a high degree of physical flexibility. Adding classical dance training to basic dance training can make up for the shortage of ballet training, further develop the physical quality of actors and strengthen the grasp of dance.
6. Basic training of modern dance
With the constant changes of the times, people's aesthetic concepts and ideological levels are also changing, which has a great impact on the innovation and development of dance. The emergence of modern dance can be said to be Europe's dissatisfaction with the closed and rigid ballet, which is the inevitable development of history. It emphasizes one's inner impulse, leads the strength of movements with the strength of feelings, and pursues the consistency of feelings and movements, which can be said to be completely contrary to traditional ballet training. At the same time, the exaggerated movements of modern dance, especially hip-hop, are highly professional, and can only be shown through strict professional training. Adding modern dance training to basic dance training can improve the skills and level of actors, make them better handle new dance moves and improve their acceptance.
Third, the focus of children's basic dance training
1. Strengthen the training of children's dance basic movements.
Physical training (basic training) is the basis of laying a good dance foundation, and attention should be paid to the training of children's limbs, trunk, shoulders, waist, legs and spans. Because dance movements are highly beautified and standardized, it is necessary to have a strict training plan and pay attention to training rhythm and skills. We should attach importance to leg press training and open the joint ligament of children's legs; We should pay attention to shoulder pressing training and open children's neck and shoulder ligaments; Pay attention to the training of children's legs, feet and back, so that children can form a good body and beautiful movements; Strengthening the grip strength training of children's dance in a timely and reasonable way should be carried out step by step according to children's physical characteristics and grasp the scale of training; To train children the basic skills of cheating, stretch the leg ligaments.
2. Strengthen the training of children's psychological quality.
In children's dance teaching, we should pay special attention to children's psychological factors to improve students' cognitive ability and fighting spirit. Strengthening children's psychological training can avoid children's inferiority and nervousness in dance training. In children's dance training, it is necessary to strengthen children's psychological training, mobilize training emotions, and adopt the training method of physical and mental integration to better promote the teaching of children's dance basic skills.
? Fourth, the new idea of strengthening the basic training of children's dance.
1. Audio-visual combination of music and dance should be realized.
In practical teaching, we should pay attention to cultivating children's ability to feel and appreciate music. To cultivate children's sensibility to dance music, we should strengthen children's music appreciation and stimulate children's interest in dance music. It is necessary to combine music and dance with audio-visual, improve their level of music appreciation, and educate children on music and dance appreciation. Encourage children to understand the feelings expressed by dance, cultivate children's ability to appreciate music, choose appropriate dance teaching methods to educate children and improve their dance skills.
2. To fully stimulate children's interest in dance.
In the training of children's dance, we should pay special attention to the interest of choosing dances, arrange dances according to the characteristics of children's psychological development, and fully mobilize children's interest and enthusiasm. Children dance's arrangement must be popular, intuitive, easy to learn, and have flexible forms of expression. Children dance's interesting performances fully aroused children's interest in learning dance, attracted their attention and cultivated their aesthetic ability. To make dance movements interesting, it is necessary to unify children's initiative in the dance process with the fun of dance, and also to connect with children's emotional experience. As long as children improve their interest in dance, they can devote themselves to dance learning.
3. Pay attention to the content of children dance and reflect the colorful life.
When choosing the theme of children's dance, teachers must determine the dance content according to the different physiological and psychological characteristics of children. Because children have the characteristics of colorful life and complicated emotions, it is essential for children dance to be colorful. We can use myths and legends, fairy tales and fables as well as the ups and downs in children's fantasy world as the content to design the content of children dance and create a vivid image. In order to expand the theme of children dance and enrich the form of children dance, we should also adopt various genres such as singing and dancing, musicals and small dance dramas to make children dance more colorful.
4. In view of the neglect of basic skills, do a good job in the basic training of children's dance.
At present, it is very common to neglect basic skills training in education in children dance. Effective measures must be taken to put an end to this phenomenon and put the cause of children dance back on track. The problems existing in children dance's basic skills training are: children participate in dance training too early, the proportion of training times in basic skills week is less, and auxiliary exercises are neglected. In view of this, children's dance teachers should attach importance to the training of children's early dance basic skills ideologically, so that children dancers can learn to use their body posture correctly and improve their dance aesthetic ability. Doing well the basic skills of children's dance, cultivating her standard posture, mastering dance equipment and improving the basic skills of dance are helpful to develop various physical qualities and improve the quality of movements. To completely reverse this situation, we must: strengthen the theoretical construction of children's dance, guide dance practice with the theory of basic dance training, and unify theory with practice; Pay attention to the training of children's early dance basic skills and take effective measures to improve children's dance basic skills; Strengthen the professional training of professional dance coaches.
In a word, the basic skills of dance are the basis of dance learning, which is of great significance to the improvement of dance level. Strengthening the study and training of basic skills is a key step to improve the level of dance teaching and promote the healthy development of children's dance, which is worth our efforts.
