The basic posture of Dai dance

Dai people, that is, Dai and Tai people, are people like water. They live by the water, like water and are good at singing and dancing. The following are the basic postures of Dai dance. Let's learn together:

(A) the basic posture of Dai dance

(1) "Three bends" is a typical basic feature of Dai dance, with sculptural beauty;

The first bend: from the standing sole to the bent knee.

Second bend: from knee to crotch

The third bend: from the crotch to the inclined upper body

(2) The movement of the arm is also three bends: fingertip to wrist, wrist to elbow, elbow to arm.

(3) Leg movements are still three bends: from the raised sole to the heel, from the heel to the bent knee, and from the knee to the hip.

(4) During the movement of Dai dance, the "three bends" are divided into "static three bends" and "dynamic three bends".

"Static three bends" is an S-shaped curve posture of human body, which is called "posture three bends". It is that dancers keep the shape of S-shaped curve in a static state, and show the curvaceous beauty of women by using three bends around the waist and chest and three bends around the crotch.

"Dynamic Three Bends" is an S-shaped curve dynamic formed through a continuous action process, which is called "dynamic law three bends". It is based on the dance rhythm, the legs are kept in a semi-crouching state, the racket is downward, and the knees are flexed and stretched in bending, so that the flexion and extension drive the body to vibrate and swing gently from one side to the other, and every joint in other different parts of the human body, such as the head, hands, elbows, shoulders, waist, buttocks and knees, is bent as much as possible, so that various curves of the whole body can be staggered to form various shapes of S-shapes.

(2) The basic hand shape, foot shape and hand position of Dai dance.

Basic hand types: palm, curved palm, crown (imitating peacock head), mouth (imitating peacock mouth), claw (imitating peacock claw) and leaf (imitating coconut leaf).

The basic foot types are mainly hook-shaped feet that form three bends;

Basic hand position: one wing, two wings, three wings closed, four wings closed, five wings unfolded smoothly, six wings unfolded sideways and seven wings unfolded high.

(C) the rhythm of Dai dance

Dai people live in subtropical areas. Because of the hot and humid weather, they live in a "quiet village". People don't like intense activities, so the dance movements are relatively stable and peaceful, and there are few jumping movements. The rhythm is mostly a continuous rhythm of 2/4 beats. The basic dance rhythm is that the legs are kept in a semi-squatting state, and the knees are flexed and stretched in bending, which drives the body to vibrate and swing back and forth. Most of them are kicked after the foot, which is fast and powerful when kicking, and light and smooth when landing. This rhythm not only simulates the gait of a peacock when walking, but also resembles an elephant walking in the forest, and has an inherent implicit and steady strength beauty.

The combination of "three bends" and "one edge" in dance modeling forms all kinds of soft and charming lines, which embodies the unique characteristics of Dai dance. The dance "Yi Shun Bian" comes from people's working life, such as the gait and figure of Dai girls when they carry water, transport grain and work in the field, and their hands, feet and bodies are in the same direction, so the dance style has both the characteristics of three bends and the beauty of "Yi Shun Bian".

(D) The basic rhythm of Dai dance

(1) Frontal ups and downs: the racquet sinks, slowly sinks, and sinks evenly. The spine should be vertical, and it should not lean forward or backward when squatting. The spine should sink against the heel, and it should be slowly lifted, just like when drooping.

(2) Side ups and downs: When sinking, the right hip is outward, the knee is bent downward, the left knee crosses the right knee, the upper body is left, and the head is right; Move in the opposite direction, out of the left hip, and press the right foot to the left leg point by point. At this time, the left leg is the main leg and the center of gravity is on the left leg. When getting out of the buttocks, the upper body can't lean forward and backward, keep upright, push out the right waist and look left.

(3) Feet have ups and downs: when the body sinks, there are leg lifts. When you hook back, your knees can't push forward. You must kick back vertically, and it is a hook. Whenever you kick them, you should be fast, clean and breathing. When the legs are kicked backwards, the upper body is a little undulating and cannot rise and fall vertically; When lifting the left leg, the right buttock is lifted, and when lifting the right leg, the left buttock is lifted. This movement is very important in Dai dance.

Information piece: body dance

The role of body dance in external quality The beauty of body dance is mainly reflected in a perfect artistic form that relies on body language to interpret inner feelings. Every dance contains rich emotions. How to express personal feelings more appropriately through graceful body movements is the eternal goal of every dancer.

Therefore, in dance teaching, teachers should pay attention to showing beauty, modeling beauty and performance beauty, guide college students' aesthetic consciousness tendency with the appeal of beauty, and stimulate college students' pursuit of beauty in their career and life. Students will gradually change themselves in the pursuit of beauty, and beauty will be reflected in the external temperament over time. The basic training of ballet dance is mainly divided into three stages: the first stage is single action training; The second stage of compound action training; The third stage action combination.

In the process of body dance practice, we can also learn from the basic training methods of ballet dance. In the first stage, the body dance single action training is adopted, that is, one part of the human body is active and the other parts are static or follow-up; The second stage is the compound movement training of body dance, and different body dance movements are carried out simultaneously according to certain order and norms; In the third stage, the combination of body dance movements is made up of more than two single body dance movements, such as sliding, kicking and rotating, which are combined in a certain order, direction, speed and amplitude. In this way, phased practice can quickly master the actions of teachers and professors for practitioners who have no foundation, and at the same time, it can quickly change the external quality of students.

The role of body dance in cultural quality With the systematization of dance teaching in colleges and universities, the single form of educational content can no longer meet the needs of students, and dance teaching should be extended to a deeper level. Dance comes from life, no matter what kind of dance and its origin, it is always inseparable from cultural attributes. Therefore, the elements of campus culture will permeate the process of dance teaching in colleges and universities. With the deepening of students' dance, teachers should guide students to extend to a deeper level, that is, the deepening of culture.

Dance comes from life, reflects the dribs and drabs of life, and is inseparable from cultural attributes in essence. Therefore, in the process of body dance teaching, we must pay attention to cultural infiltration. Teachers should not only interpret ethnic customs, historical background or local customs more, but also guide students to go deep into the cultural level through dance. Art is the representation of culture, and culture is the foil of art, so that students can deepen their understanding of culture while learning dance, so as to achieve a real understanding of dance from the inside out.
