Ten basic skills of ballroom dancing 1. Longitudinal traction skill

That is to say, the physical requirement is to find a feeling of ceiling on the top of the head when the whole body is relaxed, a comprehensive traction along the lumbar and cervical vertebrae to the top of the head; When the central axis (main line) is stretched upward, the back is flattened and the muscles are pressed down. At the same time, abdomen, waist and buttocks, shoulders sinking, knees adduction. Modern dance has two special requirements: first, the arm-hugging and rounded structure will never be deformed; second, the head will be slightly tilted to the left and the upper body will be slightly opened back.

Second, the aircraft traction skills

This is the key to realize the shift of center of gravity. The most important point is that the legs and feet are driven by the strength of the crotch (and diaphragm) regardless of front, back, left and right. "Your feet move with you, your body moves with your hips, and your hips reach your body." Even if the body and feet arrive at the same time, does the foot follow you or does the body follow the foot? Different consciousness will bring very different effects. Only when the feet follow you can the dragon (snake) wag its tail and move like running water; And some people jump for many years, why do they still "step on their feet" and "fear stepping on their feet", because their bodies move with their feet.

Third, seamless skills.

This is the high level of center of gravity shift. The key point is to put the center of gravity on the inside of the sole of the foot, to avoid both feet bearing weight at the same time, and to shorten the time when both feet share the center of gravity as much as possible, so that people can't see the traces of alternating centers of gravity from one foot to two feet and from two feet to one foot; Even if you encounter a step, it is done at the last moment (waltz) or the first moment after your feet are together (tango).

Fourth, the whole foot rolling skills

The so-called rolling refers to the movement (transformation) process of the center of gravity of the human body at the position of the sole of the foot. Whether the toe rolls to the heel or the heel rolls to the toe, it should be smooth, and don't use the sole of your foot; This tumbling consciousness should also have the flexibility of the knee joint, showing a state in which only the human body flows but the center of gravity alternates; The natural ups and downs caused by this rolling are different from the artificial in-situ bumps.

Five, reflexive action skills

The so-called reflexivity (also called sideways) drives the (incomplete) rotation of the upper body with the rotation consciousness of the waist axis; Just like yangko-"Left leg forward (back), left (right); The right leg is forward (back) and the body turns right (left). " Its function is to help the human body push out the center of gravity. Once the center of gravity is in place, reflexivity disappears in the natural inclination. Reflection is not only a prelude to the rotating dance step, but also a transition between other dance steps. Without reflexive skills, the body will appear stiff; With reflexivity, the shift of focus will be icing on the cake.

Six, tilt skills

The tilt mentioned here is characterized by the fact that the longitudinal axis of the human body deviates from the longitudinal axis and the main line extends upward. Its function is to promote the flow of the human body through the strength of the waist axis, and to show the beautiful shape of the curve with reflexive action. Like reflexivity, you should pay attention to avoid twisting your shoulders and bending over.

Seven, swing skills

The swing movement realized by waist and hip strength is to increase the walking stride and enhance the flow of the body. In order to get a sense of swing, it is necessary to coordinate the foot thrust with the knee joint while exerting force on the waist and buttocks, so as to realize the movement of the body in the air.

Eight, lifting skills

In order to promote the shift of the center of gravity and the promotion of plane traction, that is, taking the sole of the foot as the center, the heel is slightly off the ground first; Gradually straighten your knees during the heel rise, let your body rise to the highest, and then gradually land with your knees bent.

Nine, leading dance skills

They should be the transmission and feedback of whole body information. The waist exerts force to command all the information of the whole body, which is held by the never-deformed arm and transmitted to the other party; Waltz and other modern dances should also help the waist and hips to transmit feedback more effectively. At any time, both sides should maintain the stability and relative independence of their respective centers of gravity, and there should be no motivation to rely on each other at all. The leader of the dance should be accurate and decisive, absolutely obey the dancers, and can't make their own decisions.

Ten, rhythm processing skills

In the primary stage, we should step on the right steps, and at the same time, we should deal with the original beat to make it colorful. For example, when two weak beats of a waltz are combined together, an "attached change" is formed, which rises to the highest at the last moment, and is graceful and hearty. As for the bullfighting dance tango, the traditional four-hop foxtrot and the traditional three-hop samba may have a different flavor.

Introduction to the basics of ballroom dancing, except for special movements, general dance steps and movements can be successfully completed as long as the limbs are flexible and have a sense of music. If there is no correct skill in dance steps and postures, it is done in an inappropriate way; It is often made into bad posture, which leads to disharmony in dance, increases unexpected difficulty and forms posture distortion.

Many people have posture problems to some extent. Because the initial action is relatively simple, such problems will not have much impact at first, so they are often ignored. But when you jump to advanced skills, these problems will appear one day.

In dance, the vertical body is regarded as the most important part, because only when the body is vertical can the center of gravity reach the ground; Many people can stand upright, but once they move, they become more or less distorted, which means that normal activities are affected. Like many divers, this phenomenon looks straight when standing on the platform. However, due to the internal factors of the body or the lack of motor skills, the performance in the air will cause movement deformation. When falling into the water, the body will not be vertical and will not splash.

Just like when we dance, our bodies don't adjust properly. When the feet alternate and the center of gravity transitions, the body can't stay vertical, so the center of gravity can't be in place. To this end, we should not only learn to keep the external body vertical, but also adjust the functions of various parts of the body, so as to keep our backs straight in dance and our bodies vertical in dance.

From a normal point of view, there is no special difference in appearance between the players who were eliminated in the first and second rounds of Blackpool and those who entered the semi-finals. But as long as you look closely, there are obvious differences between inside and outside. For example, whether the body and hand frame are too soft or too hard, or whether one part of the body is stiff and the other part is too soft; In this way, the accuracy of your movements or movements will be affected, and your posture will be more or less deformed.

In practical application, everyone knows how to straighten and stretch the body, but it is necessary to check whether it will lead to bad effects because of excess, such as whether the waist is too hard to stand up, so that from the appearance, although the body is straight, it makes the waist stiff (dead waist), thus making the exercise ineffective. All these insignificant differences will form different defects, which will affect the normal play more or less. When you jump to a higher level, these shortcomings will become more and more obvious.

When dancing, pay great attention to the correct basic posture, including keeping the spine vertical (when dancing, the waist is straight), and relaxing the waist and buttocks to realize the controlled breathing of the abdomen (diaphragm reverse breathing). Therefore, the best way to achieve good posture and internal strength is to remember some basic points:

First, when standing, hang the top to pull the back and abdomen, so that the back muscles can stretch upward, the spine can remain upright and impartial, and at the same time, the length from the neck to the waist and abdomen can be increased. More importantly, the body can keep dancing "straight waist".

Second, the ears stand up, which can play the role of fine extension and lifting. At the same elbow, you should feel the length of your neck and the distance from your ears to your shoulders.

Third, the shoulders droop and the elbows droop slightly downward, so that the center of gravity of the body will not increase. When dancing modern dance, the grip should not be too tight or too soft; Be firm, very firm, flexible and not rigid.

Fourth, be sure to tuck in the abdomen, use the gas in the abdomen to control breathing (diaphragm reverse breathing), and the chest should be very relaxed and natural.

Fifth, people in the water, like the ground, can lighten their bodies by breathing. When dancing, they can reduce the weight of their bodies and reduce the pressure on their legs.

Sixth, the rotation of the head should drive the whole spine to rotate, not the head and neck to rotate alone.

Seven, the waist and hips should be relaxed, the knees should be slightly bent and relaxed, and feel the length from the waist and legs to the toes and thumbs.

Eight, the upper body should be pulled up, and the lower body should be relaxed and sinking, so that the spine is as loose, straight and flexible as a chain. In this way, from the middle waist, there is a balance force of pulling up and down, just like the growth of seedlings, roots are born and stems grow; Make the body longer and increase the up-and-down balance. The greater the balance force, the more flexibility and explosive force can be increased. In this way, there will be better performance.
