Rumba and cha-cha:
1. Stand with your feet together naturally and easily, with your heels together and your toes open about 30 degrees.
2. Hold your chest, straighten your spine, and don't shrug.
3. Take a step sideways with either foot, straighten the other foot supporting the center of gravity, and move all the weight to this one, so that the pelvis can rotate sideways, so that the weight is placed on the heel of the supporting foot, and the knee should be locked backwards. As for the range of pelvic movement, it should be based on the principle of not affecting the upper body posture.
Samba and jive:
1. Stand with your feet together naturally and easily, with your heels together and your toes open about 45? .
2. Hold your chest, keep your waist straight, and don't shrug.
3. Either foot takes a step outward, and the other foot supporting the center of gravity is straightened, and all the weight is moved to this one, so that the weight moves forward to the forefoot, while the heel is still off the ground, and the knee supporting the foot cannot be locked backwards. Some dance steps are exceptions, such as the fractional rock step, backward step and pleated step in samba, and the chicken step in jive.
Because Spanish bullfighting has no pelvis or hip movement, its posture is different from the above Latin dance as follows:
1. The pelvis leans forward slightly and the upper body is tall and straight.
2. The weight is borne equally by the two soles.
3. When the feet are straight, the knees should not be fastened backwards. Except for one example, that is Spanish dance.
location
The direction under the chart is used to explain the direction of the dancer's body "facing or facing back" in the dance studio. When we use our shoulders to guide (walk sideways), the correct direction is very important.
Rumba, cha-cha and swing dance are non-progressive dances, while samba and Spanish bullfighting are progressive dances.
Rotation degree
In Latin dance, the feet are never parallel, only when the feet are close together. Most of the foot spins like this are outward spins, but the feet rotate with all or part of their weight. Who does it belong to? Passive rotation? Or the reaction of the feet. 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 forward movement in rumba and cha-cha, and the backward movement in rumba and cha-cha.
So when dancing a certain dance step, when the center of gravity driven by his feet is different from the direction he faces, it is based on the rotation of his upper body, not his feet. In rumba and cha-cha, the feet that drive the center of gravity will turn around 65,438+0/65,438+06. This rotation caused by stabilizing the center of gravity of the body is called. Passive rotation? .
