Lead: The full name of Latin dance is Latin dance, which is a popular folk dance in Latin America. It is based on a man and a woman. Below I will introduce the basic steps of children's Latin dance teaching articles, and welcome everyone to read for reference!
Teaching posture of basic dance steps in children's Latin dance
Rumba and cha-cha.
1. Stand with your feet together naturally and easily;
2. Hold your chest straight and don't shrug your shoulders;
3. Take a step sideways with either foot, straighten the other foot that supports the center of gravity, and move all the weight to this foot, so that the pelvis can move sideways and backwards, so that the weight is placed on the foot that supports the foot, and the knee should be locked backwards.
As for the happiness of pelvic exercise, it should be based on the principle of not affecting the posture of the upper body.
Samba and jive
1. Stand with your feet together naturally and easily;
2. Hold your chest straight and don't shrug your shoulders;
3. Either foot should step out, the other foot supporting the center of gravity should be straightened, and all the weight should be moved to this foot, so that the weight can be moved forward to the sole of the foot, while the heel is still off the ground, and the knee supporting the foot should not be locked backwards.
Some dance steps are exceptions, such as the fractional rock step, the back lock step and the pleated step in samba, and the chicken step in jive.
Some dance steps are exceptions, such as the fractional rock step, the back lock step and the pleated step in samba, and the chicken step in jive.
Because Spanish bullfighting has no pelvic or hip movement, its posture is different from the above Latin dance as follows:
1. The pelvis leans forward slightly;
2. The weight is borne equally by the two soles;
3. When your feet are straight, don't buckle your knees backwards;
Except for one example, that is Spanish dance.
location
The orientation under the chart is used to explain the direction in which the dancer's body faces or faces back in the dance studio. When we guide with our shoulders, the direction remains the same. The right direction is very important when we dance marching Latin dance.
Rumba, cha-cha and swing dance are not forward dances, while samba and Spanish bullfighting are forward dances.
Rotation degree
When dancing Latin dance, your feet are never parallel, only when your feet are close together. The footstep rotation like this is mostly outward rotation, but the foot rotates with all or part of the weight, which belongs to "passive rotation" (note 1) or the reaction action of the foot.
Because, in dance, the amount of rotation of the feet is mostly different from that of the upper body. The most typical example is the second step of the sweeping step in samba, the inhibition of the progress and all the retrogression in rumba and cha-cha.
Therefore, when the center of gravity of the foot drive is different from the direction facing the body after dancing a certain dance step, we take the rotation of the upper body as the standard, not the foot.
Note 1: In rumba and cha-cha, the foot driving the center of gravity will turn outwards for about116 cycles at the speed of backward walking. This rotation produced by stabilizing the body's center of gravity is called "passive rotation".
Forward suppression step
When dancing rumba and cha-cha, change the direction with a forward step, which may or may not turn slightly. The most common forward steps of this action are different. At the end of the normal previous step, the center of gravity reaches the foot and prepares for the next step.
When jumping forward, the step used to cause a pause is the so-called "forward restriction step", which is different from the general forward step in the following points:
1. The front foot can be placed in front of the upper body.
2. Only part of the weight is transferred to the front foot.
3. The knee of the immobile other foot can bend slightly and lean forward to the knee of that foot.
4. Forefoot rotates outward for about116 cycles.
In addition to the above, its action is similar to the general step forward; Like footwork (foot movement), the knee of the front foot has been straightened before the front foot bears all (or part) weight and hip movement occurs.
Delay step
In some dance steps, especially in rumba and cha-cha, it is a very special walking action, which is used to change the speed of the upper body and feet and highlight the beauty of the melody. This kind of walking action is called delayed walking, and there are three types:
1. Bend your knees and take a step forward.
2. Straight knees are delayed one step forward.
3. "Bend your knees" to delay the retreat.
When jumping the above three ways, the moving foot should be positioned first, and the weight does not have to move with the foot. When the center of gravity moves slower than normal walking, the upper body rotates while the center of gravity moves.
When the jump is delayed by one step, the knee of the front foot can be bent or straight (just like a general step forward), depending on its position.
Moreover, this step can be bent and stretched without weight. However, when the whole weight is transferred to the foot, the knee usually straightens with it.
When jumping and stepping backwards, when to use the delay step for various dance steps must be indicated in each chart, and whether the forward delay step is bent or not is indicated at the bottom of the chart.
Before further
When we jump forward and want to change the direction of the next step forward or backward by turning around, without affecting the original upper body or hip movements, we must turn around with the previous step. This change of direction is to gradually and evenly turn to the direction we want to turn when jumping forward.
In rumba dance, if the man ends with a fan step, then the last step of these steps must be to move forward and rotate, so as to turn to the other direction smoothly.
When we use forward rotation to change the direction, we change the original forward direction to the reverse direction. In this case, the maximum rotation of the upper body is 3/8 turns. At the end of this step, his foot position is "behind and slightly to one side". If this dance step requires more upper body rotation, it can be achieved through the following backward dance steps.
An example of turning forward into backward by rotating forward is all the steps in rumba dance. If the woman ends with a fan step or a fractional step, use the last step.
Latin cross step
When dancing Latin dance, one foot crosses the front or back of the other foot, and the finished foot position is the same. This foot position is the so-called Latin cross. The following is an analysis of the man's or woman's right foot from the left foot:
When the right foot crosses behind the left foot, the knees are bent and the height of the double sweetness is the same.
The toes of the right foot are facing outward, and the right knee is behind the left knee. The toe of the right foot is about 15 cm wide from the heel of the left foot. This distance will vary according to the length of each person's calf and fertility.
Latin cross-legged stance, if the right foot is behind the left foot, what is it called? The right foot crosses behind the left foot. As for its weight distribution when doing this action, it depends on which dance step it is. Another similar foot swing is that the left foot crosses behind the right foot, or the crossing position is caused by the rotation of one foot.
Arm position
When a man changes from a certain position to the next basic position, he will do it with physical guidance or shaping guidance. So, the two sides touch the arm, and this book will describe how to lead at the same time.
If the action of dancing includes the swing of the body, then the arm that can move freely is the extension of the body, and it should move gently with the rhythm of the music, from the arm, wrist to the finger.
Because the arm is an extension of the body, the action of the arm will be completed after the body action is completed. Arms that can move freely are usually placed as follows:
1. Lateral extension
Step 2 get to the side, behind
Step 3: Forward and Backward.
4. Swing to the other side of your body and bring it back
5. Put it aside and gently
In the dance steps that move in a "straight line" way, the positions of hands (arms) and feet move at the same time. For example, samba lock step, Spanish dance step.
