My opinion on basic training
Everyone likes mj’s dance very much, and they all long for one day to be able to perform soulful dance moves on stage like him. Of course, friends Many of them have already stood on the stage, and I am fortunate to be one of them. While we pay too much attention to the skills of mj dance, have we ignored the fundamentals of dance-the training of basic skills. Until there is When my friend reminded me that the assistance force of rotation depends on the training of thigh strength, I started to return to the real starting point.
Based on my actual situation and discussions with friends, I summarized the following basic skills: Training:
1. First master the most basic footwork of mj dance, which is a footwork similar to rap footwork - alternately move with the heels or toes of different feet. This step requires more Practice, it can be used to develop a variety of footwork (like side sliding). * Method: move left, right, back and forth; straighten the knees, or bend the knees greatly.
2. Shake the shoulders And hip twisting, these two movements should be generally not strong enough and wide enough for everyone. We must continue to strengthen training in this aspect. Note that hip twisting should be organically combined with other movements to have a sense of unity. *Method: Find a good person Music with fixed drum beats (jam, dangerous...), follow the drum beats with 50% exaggerated movements, repeat 1-2 songs each time.
3. Leg swing, the dance represented by it is billie Jean, of course, if we pay attention, it can be said that MJ uses this stunt of his all the time when walking (except for slow walking and sliding steps). So practicing this step well is whether you can inject Michael's dance soul into your own dance. The key point is to relax the calf. The thigh drives the calf to swing. You can refer to the dance performed by MJ and the natives in Black or White. The thigh swing should be fast and powerful, so that the calf will move every time. It seems to be hitting the knees, as if the legs are bouncing. Pay attention to the leg splitting movement in billie jean, and remember to relax. *Method: Try to relax the calves, swing them hard with the strength of the thighs, and move forward 50-100 times. Move to the side 50-100 times.
4. The acceleration of each action, in straightforward terms, is to shorten the process of each quick action as much as possible, and at the same time pay attention to the standardization of freeze-frame actions. My experience It is better to stop for one second after reaching the position than to miss half a second in the process, otherwise the movements will appear soft and delayed. Also pay attention to physical training. Generally speaking, soft movements will show up unnaturally when tired. Kicks and turns Pay attention to this training. *Method: Keep practicing several unique signature movements, from rhythm to position, and make them your own movements, that is, you can do them at will.
5 .Rotation. This technique of rotation is somewhat similar to pulling a ligament. You must practice it frequently and never stop. First of all, you must master the correct method of rotation (you can refer to this post/cgi-bin/topic.cgi?forum=7&topic=309&show=0) , maybe friends have other rotation methods, my method is for reference only. Then there is the practice of basic skills. It can be said that this dance posture is the most test of basic skills. The number of rotations depends on the strength of the thighs and the endurance of the forefoot of the left foot. The balance and coordination of the body in rotation, as well as skills. *Methods: Thigh strength (standard squatting horse stance for 3-4 minutes), endurance of the forefoot of the left foot (right foot hanging in the air and leaning on the inside of the left foot, left foot The heels are off the ground and the toes are hooked upwards, so that the contact area between the soles and the ground is as small as possible. Maintaining the time of a song), balance and coordination must be experienced through multiple turns. In terms of skills, Xiao Qi recommends that you do not add help at first. For moving circles, practice direct turns first, and then improve.
6. Move your neck, if you want to imitate MJ, then you must be able to move your neck, and it must be very large. This is MJ dance Another soul. *Method: Lean sideways against the wall so that one side of your body is completely in contact with the wall (feet, legs, arms, shoulders), try to lean your face against the wall, hold for 20 seconds each time, repeat 10 times , switch sides. After practicing both sides, put your hands on your shoulders and face the mirror and try to move.
7. Mouth shape, several mouth shapes that MJ is used to, biting the lower lip, pouting, grinning... ...You can try to imitate it yourself.
8. Finger snapping is another compulsory course. Pay attention to the shaking action when snapping fingers.
9. Hand shape and habit Everyone should pay attention to the hand shape. When dancing, your hands should not be relaxed. You must keep the hand shape, otherwise it will be ugly. I am practicing it now, haha.
10. The practice of sliding, I think sliding The practice of walking should start from sliding on the spot. During the practice, both feet are in a state of tension. You need to practice the resistance of each toe and buy a pair of good shoes.
That’s all. Many. Looking back, I can see that the main basic skills training is actually the first 6 items, and the last 4 items can also be counted as skill training. It’s so hard, everyone must reply more, give more opinions and additions, so that we can improve. :)
