Introduction to the classification of national dance

Folk dance is closely related to people's lives. It directly reflects the life and struggle of working people, and shows their thoughts, feelings, ideals and wishes. The following is a classified introduction of folk dance that I collected for you, hoping to help you!

On the study, practice and performance of national dance

China folk dance is based on folk materials, with a broad mass base, self-entertainment, randomness and spontaneity. The unique regional and national characteristics endow other dances with unparalleled charm, and national dance is the mother of dance art!

First, the "beauty" of national dance

Beauty is the first characteristic of folk dance, and the music of folk dance is either jumping, cheerful, euphemistic and lingering, or loud and warm. . And most of them are familiar to people, and the movements of folk dance are also easy to learn and master. It can be said: "folk dance music delights the soul and dance entertains the body"!

Through constant practice and accumulation, we can improve the level and expressive force of dance step by step and achieve our own beauty! From embarrassment to freedom of beauty, beauty is natural and graceful, which makes us become temperamental and educated people, makes our life beautiful, and makes us all beautiful and fragrant!

2. Learn to dance, practice and perform folk dances.

1, learn to jump (imitate):

1 and 1 Learning dance means not only following imitators (teaching dancers) in a proper way, but also studying meticulously, including movements, rhythms, body orientation, orientation and opinions. . Don't let go of the details. The dance movements learned at this stage require that the more like (teaching dancers), the better. In the eyes of dancers, the object of imitation is clear and magnified.

1 2 When dancers gradually learn to master dance movements and body movements, they begin to feel the beauty of dance, and at the same time, the object of imitation (teaching dancers) begins to fade away. By thinking about how to make their own movements, they can better express themselves, properly integrate into their own style, and try their best to make their movements reach the perfect position. In other words, different people can jump out of different styles for the same dance.

2. Practice:

2, 1 Persevere, usually insist on dance practice as much as possible, not necessarily at home and on business trips when you concentrate on activities, but in front of the mirror when you can, so as to find out what actions are wrong in time and not allow correction, and avoid unconsciously forming habits that are difficult to change. Regular practice can maintain a good figure and physical strength, maintain the proper coordination of the body in dance (because dance requires the body to move harmoniously and elegantly in music), and improve cultural literacy.

2, 2 Usually listen to music with beautiful melody and be familiar with the rhythm of music, which is of great benefit to dance. It also plays a role in cultivating sentiment and purifying the soul. The ancient Greeks said, "Music is the gymnastics of the soul", which is true.

3. Performance:

3. 1 Use "heart" to express and express.

When performing, you should be completely immersed in the artistic conception of music and be full of emotion. Don't perform rigidly and dogmatically, but perform for the sake of performance, which will be expressionless and infectious, and will be as tasteless as boiled water. At the same time, we should also pay attention to moderation, which will make people feel exaggerated, cautious and posturing. In short, vent and integrate emotions from the heart.

3, 2 self-confidence

I believe that you are the most beautiful at this moment (on the stage), and self-confidence comes from your usual efforts and full preparation. With affirmation and strength, you can have a root in your heart, otherwise you are not confident, and you are prone to timid, alcoholic and vague emotions and actions during the performance.

3. Participate in more performances, experience and comprehend on the spot, and accumulate experience and sum up with your heart. Because other people's feelings and experiences may not be suitable for everyone, we must "know" ourselves to improve.

Wa dance

Black skin, both men and women have long hair, men wear black clothes and trousers, and women wear colorful national costumes and dance to the sound of wooden drums. On August 15, a group of special guests showed their beautiful image in the scenic spot of Shenlixia in Pujiang. They belong to the Wa ethnic group of the Mon-Khmer language family in South Asia, and they also brought their own unique dance-Wa dance.

Wa nationality, mainly distributed in Ximeng, Cangyuan, Menglian and other places in southwest Yunnan Province, is one of the ethnic groups with less population in China. He is a member of the common people in ancient south, and has close blood relationship with Bulang and De 'ang since ancient times. This is a mysterious country. Wa people who used to live in different areas have different names, such as Zhenkang and Yongde in Yunnan, which are called "Wa"; Gengma, Shuangjiang and Cangyuan areas are called "Ba Rao" and "Bu Rao"; The ancestors of the Wa nationality in Ximeng and Menglian called themselves "A Wa" and "Le Wa". It was not until after liberation that it was collectively called "Wa nationality".

A Wa performing in Shenlixia said that the "wooden drum" is not only a "wooden trough" to save people's ancestors, but also the embodiment of a strong mother. The "Mu Yi" is the residence of the soul, and it has become a heavenly artifact for all things to flourish. Therefore, "Wooden Drum Dance" is an indispensable dance in sacrificial activities. The production of "Wooden Drum" is expressed in the form of dance, and finally, it is communicated with the gods by knocking on the "Wooden Drum" to achieve the purpose of godsend. With the progress of the times, in order to further enrich the form of wooden drum dance and dance vocabulary, the Wa people have added the "hair-throwing" action of Wa women in the dance, so both men and women have long black and beautiful hair. Wa people are all beautiful women with dark skin, and men, women and children will be proud of their dark skin. In order to make Mao Dance more beautiful. Hair dancing is a kind of self-entertaining dance. Different from other dances, this dance is not used for offering sacrifices to cows, the death of old people, building new houses and wedding celebrations. In other seasons, you can dance this dance on any occasion.

This time, I saw them dancing a swing dance to welcome guests from afar. Wearing your own unique national costume, take the first step by tilting your right foot to the right, raise your elbows to the top of your head, and lean back; On the second beat, take a step with your left foot, throw your hands behind your back and lean forward. Repeatedly, the movements are regular and smooth. The dance consists of the lead singer who beats the wooden drum and everyone singing and stepping on the festival, and then the long hair shakes rhythmically. Under their free shaking, the hair became so elegant, and with the drums of wooden drums, there were high-pitched songs and cheers from time to time.

People seem to have come to the hometown of the Wa people and felt the hospitality of the Wa people to their guests. Swinging back and forth, natural and handsome, it better shows the bold and hearty character of Wa women, and strongly shows the simple local feelings of Wa people and the national spirit of persistent pursuit of "survival and development".

In addition to wood-inspired dance, Wa people have other 12 dances: funeral dance, mortar-stick dance, Lamuqiao dance, knife dance, three-string dance, bee-inspired dance, singing, dancing, dance without music, Lusheng dance and bee-inspired dance. These dances have elements of communication with the surrounding Dai and Yi people. Over the years, through the integration and absorption of the Wa people, it has become a characteristic of Wa dance and a folk dance that the Wa people enjoy and entertain themselves.

Thai traditional dance is divided into classical dance and folk dance.

Thai traditional dance can be divided into classical dance and folk dance, among which classical dance is a very complicated and subtle art, and each dance step has a special meaning, telling a story of Brahmanism with a very tortuous plot.

Thai classical dance often appears in religious activities and commemorative ceremonies. During the performance, the performers are completely barefoot, and no matter what they do, they are so slow, rhythmic, elegant and charming. Dancers are good at expressing their meaning with their hands and fingers. For example, put your hands on your chest to show love, rub your neck with your hands to show anger, put your left palm flat on your chest to show inner joy, and point your index finger at the ground to show malice. There is stillness in the whole dance, and there is movement in the stillness, especially the actress, whose movements convey feelings and eyes are vivid, which contains endless charm.

Thailand's national dances are very colorful, including "wedding dance" to show wedding customs, "peasant dance" for women to grow rice in fields, "harvest dance" and "blessing dance" to celebrate harvest. Blessing dance is a kind of mass dance, which usually dances with guests after banquets and parties. During the performance, men and women perform in pairs, swinging their arms, lifting their feet gently and dancing lightly.

Thai folk song and dance elements are famous for their luxurious costumes, elegant movements and rich connotations. Among them, the "nail dance" with flashing jade fingers is the most attractive; The candlelight firefly's "candlelight dance" is the most artistic; The popular Wang Nan dance is the most popular.

Basic technical training of national dance

Dance skill course is a basic dance training course inherited and separated from traditional opera teaching. It was originally borrowed from China's traditional drama and called "Blanket Work". However, in the process of the gradual development of dance art, teaching practice has made people have a new understanding when their knowledge level, understanding level and scientific consciousness are gradually perfect: this course will inevitably hinder the reform and development of the teaching materials when training dancers within the limitations of traditional opera art, so people have absorbed martial arts, gymnastics, acrobatics and Chinese and foreign dances into the training materials on the basis of the original opera technology, making dance carpet training step into a more targeted and adaptive direction.

In the teaching of performing arts, carpet technology, as a basic course, is of universal significance to improve the physical condition, physical quality and performance skills of performing arts students. In other words, whether it is dance or opera, as long as their performance creation is based on the actors themselves, in theory, carpet technology courses must be included in their professional teaching schedule.

Since ancient times, various folk dances of the Han nationality have been performed on New Year's Day, ancestor worship, temple fairs and welcoming ceremonies. In the struggle for energy, performers came up with new tricks to win praise. It is in the refining of this skill that the Han folk dance develops continuously.

(1) Anhui Flower Drum Lantern.

The "drum" part of the Flower Drum Lantern is the most distinctive performance part. It is divided into upper drum, middle drum and field drum. Drum playing is a skill performance in which orchids put on various postures on the shoulders or waist of drum stands. The middle drum is a double martial art of performing orchids on the waist, legs and hands of the drum stand. Drumming in the venue is a solo performance technique, such as "Swallow's three strokes", "Climbing the city upside down", "Grabbing all over the ground" and "bunny hop". Artists have developed their own characteristics and expertise while demonstrating their skills. They are often filled with extraordinary talents and abilities in unpredictable turning points and rare skills. For example, Shi of Huaiyuan (stage name "Stone Monkey", stage name "Xiaoshuizi" of Hongyun) and Wu of Fengtai (stage name "Peeing Monkey") can be seen from their stage names that their skills are exquisite and vigorous.
