I am Latin 100 and I give online classes
Hip movements are one of the iconic movements of Latin dance. In addition to bullfighting, the other four dance types all have crotch movements. , it expresses female femininity to the extreme. It is difficult to imagine what Latin dance, such as Rumba, would be like without hip movements.
I don’t know when, when it comes to the hip movements of Latin dance, people think that it is twisted. This teacher’s teaching also asked the students to twist hard, and the students turned into Transformers. , Twist it into a worm, so that after several years of learning, you still don't understand the key, and you don't make any progress. What's worse, you just lost it and stopped dancing.
As the saying goes, "seeing is believing", but this is not necessarily true. The eyes can sometimes deceive themselves. The hip movements of Latin dance are caused by swinging back and forth, and it would be a big mistake to think that they are twisted. Very wrong. The hip's left and right swing is its surface phenomenon, not its inner essence. Any movement of the Latin dance body is the result of the feet exerting pressure on the ground, fighting against the ground, and then squeezing the body. The movements formed in this way are very solid from the perspective of foot movements, nailed to the ground, and rooted on the ground; from the perspective of hip movements, they are full of toughness and strength, like a elastic rubber at all times.
In addition, the arms are extensions of the body, and arm movements are the aftermath of body movements. Many people in Latin dance do not use their bodies to drive their arms, but want to use their arms to drive their bodies, and end up dancing like a fool. In fact, Latin dance is easy to turn into a show dance, and modern dance is easy to turn into a walking dance.
The feet have to exert pressure on the ground, fight against the ground, and squeeze the body. This requires practicing the strength and kung fu of the feet. Basic rhythm in place is the simplest and most effective way to practice this kind of kung fu. method, but remember one thing, never take the initiative to twist your hips, otherwise no matter how much you practice, it will be in vain, because the inner things are wrong, which is what we call "going in the wrong direction". The more effort you put in, the more mistakes you will make. Far.
When you practice until calluses form on the inside of your big toe, you will have a certain amount of strength under your feet. If you are serious and get the essentials, and practice two hours a day, in one month, your footwork will exceed that of a non-practitioner in one year, and in three months, your kung fu will exceed that of a non-practitioner in five years. Therefore, the progress is doubled. It's late, but you will definitely be an amazing Latin dance player in the near future!
