The foundation of children's ballet

I. 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.

Second, shoulder pressing.

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.

Third, push the 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.

Fourth, combine pole training.

Basic combination of handle movements:

1. (two-handed/one-handed) handle, one-foot scrubbing combination

2. (Two-handed/One-handed) handle, one-legged squat combination

3. (two-handed/one-handed) handle, single foot ring combination

4. Five legs, one-handed handle and small kick combination

5. Five legs, one hand handle, change the combination of center of gravity

6. The combination of (two hands/one hand) waist rotation is suitable for children's physical quality and acceptance. With the continuous progress of students in all aspects, the difficulty is increased and the pattern is changed to meet the requirements of dance training.

Fifth, kick back.

Stand with your hands on the small splayed part of the handlebar, knees straight, head up and look straight ahead. During the back kick, keep your upper body still, don't lean on your back, don't loosen your hips, and keep your instep and knees straight. Never lean forward. If, after repeated emphasis, the students still can't do it, they can first touch the hind legs, that is, hold the handrail with both hands, lift one leg backwards, correct the posture of the students, and then kick backwards.

Six, split leg jump

It is a jumping combination of walking handles to prepare for jumping in learning. When doing this jump, you should pay attention to spreading your feet in front and back at the same time. In the process of opening, straighten your instep and knees. The higher you jump, the wider your legs will be. When landing, your feet will quickly close and land together.
