Generally speaking, we have a class here every week. If you are in a hurry to take part in the competition, I suggest you practice more classes a week, and the most important thing is to practice by yourself!
D. What basic skills do adults need to learn Latin dance?
First, how to train the basic skills of adult Latin dance
Leg press.
This is the most basic training content in basic dance training, which is the pressing of front, side and hind legs respectively. Leg press's exercises help to open the ligaments of students' leg joints. Leg press should pay attention to the upright leg joints, open the instep outwards, and keep the upper body upright.
Press down until there is no gap between the upper body and the legs. Individual students have too tight ligaments. Leg press process, don't be demanding, be sure to press down and keep the correct posture. After a long time, you can lengthen the ligament and meet the requirements. Pay special attention to keeping the crotch straight. When students press down their side legs and hind legs, they are most likely to have hips and hips tilted, which needs to be corrected in time. When the side leg is pressed down, hold the handle with the same hand, and the other arm is close to the ear, and stretch as far as possible near the leg to lengthen the side waist. When the hind legs are pressed down, pay attention to flat shoulders, don't shrink your neck, support your head and don't fall down, and stretch backwards. Accompaniment band: Choose music with strong sense of rhythm.
Two pressure shoulders
This is an exercise to open the shoulder ligament. When pressing the shoulder, put your arm straight on the handle. The distance between the legs is slightly equal to the shoulder width. The head and spine should be relaxed, and you can feel the shoulder ligament being stretched when you press it down. Accompaniment band: medium speed, slow rhythm 2/4.
Three-push instep combination
The quality of the instep varies from person to person, and most of it depends on congenital factors, but we can't ignore the acquired training. Before training, move from toes to the whole instep; When training, hold the handle with both hands, hold your chest, lift your hips, and stand with your feet together, starting with an instep training. 1-2 clap one foot heel up, five toes close to the ground, 3-4 clap toes straight and push them into the wall, so that the whole instep stretches into a crescent shape, 5-8 clap the other foot, the action is the same, and so is the practice of double instep. When doing this kind of training, young students are not focused, so they often look down at their own and others' actions. When pushing the instep, their feet are easy to open and the instep can't be pushed up, so they need to be reminded and standardized at all times.
Second, several misunderstandings of adults learning Latin dance:
1, too old!
There is no age limit for dancing. As the saying goes, it is never too old to learn! Dance is no exception. Age is often not the threshold of whether you can learn dance, but whether your heart is firm in learning dance!
2. The bones are too stiff and have poor flexibility.
If you want to dance well, you really need flexibility, but this does not mean that you can reach the level of softness and bonelessness immediately. Basic skills need to be laid down step by step under the guidance of professional dance teachers. When you finish the basic training, you have already surpassed your expected goal unconsciously.
3, afraid of poor understanding, how to learn can not learn.
Dance training, no matter how savvy you are, needs the same time to practice hard, needs sweat irrigation, and needs constant practice to improve proficiency and muscle memory.
4. In a few minutes
For adult dance training, the bigger problem should be the time arrangement. In today's fast-paced life, everyone is in a hurry and cannot receive full-time dance training. In this regard, you can also consider evening classes or weekend classes, and use the short struggle time to significantly improve your internal and external.
5. What's the use of studying?

First, introduce Latin dance in detail.
International standard Latin dance is standardized, strict and standard. It is a professional competitive dance based on Latin dance, including rumba, cha-cha, swing dance, samba and bullfighting. Five Latin dances have their own styles: samba's * * *, cha-cha's lively, rumba's graceful, bullfighting's heroic and cowboy's funny. Different styles, the most important thing is to grasp the connotation.
Latin dance performance (1 1) lies in the understanding of music, and more importantly, the understanding of music melody. Study, practice, walk, run and dance. And dance is the highest realm of dancers. As we all know, music is the soul of dance, and it is the highest state of dance for dancers to express flowing notes through their bodies. The cultural differences between the East and the West have caused us orientals to be reserved and shy when dancing Latin dance, and we dare not express ourselves physically or even make eye contact. Therefore, knowing more about western culture is very helpful to jump out of "tasteful Latin dance". Balance between partners, balance of force, balance of center of gravity, six-dimensional space: up and down, left and right, front and back. In short, balance is everywhere, and balance runs through the dance. As for merengue, it originated in Dominica, with 2 beats per bar. With the hip joint swinging from side to side in turn, it is full of romance, sexiness and charm. Latin dance is a kind of dance art that focuses on moving shoulders, abdomen, waist and buttocks. There are hundreds of muscles such as rectus abdominis, oblique abdominis, oblique abdominis, erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, etc. Since 1960s, many researchers have studied the physiological and psychological effects of sports dance. On average, each Latin dance has 160- 180 times of waist twisting, and the highest heart rate of women can reach 197 times per minute, and that of men can reach 2 10 times per minute. About the energy metabolism above 8.5, it is equivalent to the heat consumed by athletes to complete an 800-meter competition, which is greater than that of tennis and badminton. The effect of reducing fat can be imagined! The most representative dance in Latin dance is rumba, which is known as the "soul of Latin". People who learn Latin dance usually learn rumba as the first dance. Rumba is a kind of dance that expresses the love story between men and women, so its music is soft and touching, and its movements can make female companions fully show the feminine charm and the curvy beauty of hips and hips. It is very beautiful to be at arm's length between men and women. Another representative dance, which originated in Mexico, has many similarities with rumba, but it is playful and cheerful, completely different from rumba style, handsome and full of energy.
Edit the origin of this modern Latin dance competition
After World War II, the British Dance Association once again put the collection, arrangement and processing of ballroom dancing at the top of its work. Around 1950, the British Dance Association established the role theory of ballroom dancing for fast waltz, cha-cha, rumba, Wu Jie, samba and bullfighting on the basis of fox-trot, tango and quickstep. Around 1955, the number of 10 kinds of social dances was established and has been used ever since. In addition, the above 10 folk dances can be divided into two types: "modern dance" (waltz, tango, quickstep, foxtrot and Viennese waltz) and "Latin dance" (rumba, cha-cha, swing dance, samba and bullfighting dance). Thus, 1 set theory, two kinds of dance systems and 10 kinds of dances were formed. Latin dances include samba, rumba, bullfighting, cha-cha and cowboy. These five dances are widely circulated in social occasions and sports dance competitions. Usually two people jump together, a man and a woman. There are different hugs, sometimes close hugs, and sometimes partners hug with one hand. The postures in these dances have been standardized and divided into different levels to facilitate teaching, and there are internationally unified terms, techniques, rhythms and beats. From 65438 to 0960, these African and Latin American folk dances were standardized by the British Dance Association, and finally Latin dance competitions appeared in Britain, including cha-cha, rumba, samba, cowboy and bullfighting.

J. How to teach adult Latin dance
Pay more attention to footwork and hip position. Adults don't have to take exams, so they don't have to teach too carefully. However, they can't just focus on the basics and teach some routines in moderation, because adults learn Latin mainly for fun. Don't preach too much in teaching, play more music and let them practice and guide themselves.
