Dance movements of Japanese dance

Japanese dance has several fixed dance movements and props. By combining them, we can express various emotions such as sadness and joy, as well as the lively scenes and scenes on the stage during sacrificial activities.

1, "Ba" is a towel used as a boat pole. Grab both ends of the towel with both hands, straighten it and swing it back and forth. It looks like rowing.

2, "chasing points" is the way to put a towel on the left and right shoulders in front of the item. It shows the imposing manner of a man in kimono and casual clothes.

3. The "Liu Xia" movement used in the female dance shows the elegant and gorgeous feeling of traveling clouds and flying clouds. Spread out the towel with both hands, lift Xia Yun gracefully and send it to the rear.

4, used to express sadness, or the desire is not satisfied and the mood is grumpy, this is "pine leaf flow." Its action is to bite the towel with its mouth, hold the towel with its left hand and make a downward cut with its right hand.
