Mexican ghost dance

Ghost dance is another name for Melbourne dance or Melbourne shuffle dance.

This is a dance from Australia. Dancers dance to heavy music and drums. Ghost dance, a compliment to a very powerful slide, can probably be related to C walk if it must be classified. Let's just say that the ghost dance can be regarded as the ghost dance of the Cwalk family, and it is a hybrid. Tail dancing is a compulsory course for this dance step. If you want to practice, you'd better talk about the above exercises first. Don't say "I want to practice according to that" as soon as you come up. In this case, it is easy to get out of shape or work hard, or even get hurt. Just like coach Anxi taught Hanamichi Sakuragi, "Let's talk about the basic movements first".

brief introduction

Melbourne shuffle Dance, also known as shuffle dance, shuffle dance, slide dance and super slide dance, is a kind of shuffle dance, with fast and powerful movements, full of dynamic vitality and strong live appeal as electronic music swings. It originated in some underground dance halls in Melbourne, Australia in the 1980s. Its unique dance steps and strong music attracted people's attention and gradually became popular.

From June 5438 to February 2002, an Australian newspaper explained Shuffle in Melbourne on the front page, which was the first time that Shuffle appeared in the mainstream media. Later, it spread to Malaysia and Brunei, and then to Britain, Germany, Thailand and other countries. With the help of the Internet and online media uTube, it became popular all over the world. Starting from 265438+2000, the action style HSD: Hard Dance (HSD) became popular internationally (thanks to utube video website in 2006), with legs and feet as the main movements.

Pay great attention to leg movements, dance has a very fast rhythm, kicking, stepping, jumping and stamping quickly with the music beat; One of the movements of the dance is that the feet on the heel quickly twist the front and rear feet, and the embellishment movements are body rotation, dancing and kicking. Other movements, such as hand-foot dance, 360-degree continuous rotation, etc.;

Fluorescent pants The dancer's pants are similar to bell bottoms, and some fluorescent ornaments that reflect light are sewn next to them.

The runner stepped on the ground in front of him with one foot, then jumped back twice, and then repeated this action with the other foot, giving people the illusion of running (similar to M.J.' s moonwalk, but actually different landing points), accompanied by hand movements and body movements (such as rotation and turning). ), shuffling of one foot, rapid lateral movement of the other foot, and dancing with hand movements and body movements (such as turning around). ), playing other dance steps without losing personality, coupled with powerful music, it is easy for the audience to be infected with a happy atmosphere and shake their bodies with strong music. Melbourne shuffle dance has no specified movements, and dancers can play freely, so everyone has their own characteristics. Some dancers will add other dance elements to the dance to create a unique choreography.

The first time I watched Melbourne shuffle dance, I found that dancers pay great attention to footwork. Dancers quickly kick, step, jump and stomp with the music, showing a dynamic shuffle dance, which will surprise people who see this dance for the first time. Melbourne shuffle dance also includes the control of physical integrity, which has developed a brand-new dance style and is still developing. Shuffle dance pays attention to footwork, so it pays special attention to pants in clothing.
