Jazz

Jazz is easier to introduce ~ there are many categories ~ I will introduce the categories in more detail to you ~ but the main thing we learn is Mainly New Jazz, Street Jazz and HipHop Jazz, the currently very popular reggae is often divided into Jazz~

1. Power Jazz is a kind of power Jazz that pays great attention to the power point and the explosion of power. Control, dance is very exciting!

6.Thunder It is currently the most popular dance type for girls! It has a Newschool feel that combines Sexy Jazz and HipHop! Its origin is the pole dance in PUP! Most of the current reggaetons are adapted!!!

< p>Today's jazz dance can be roughly divided into the following categories:

1.Classical Jazz Traditional jazz dance is common in musicals. (It’s hard to describe in words!)

2.Ballet Jazz is fusion ballet. But this kind of jazz does not come from jazz, but is combined with dance trends. Because jazz dance itself is more explosive than ballet, such as the freezing of poses, jumping, kicking, etc., which ballet does not have.

3. New Jazz is the kind of jazz we usually dance now. It has more poses. In the past, you might have dance and then look for music, but new-style jazz has music and then choreographs it. Like various music MTV.

4. Funky Jazz is said to be a fusion of aerobic dance. It is between HipHop and Jazz. It has the feeling of HipHop but lacks its rhythm...

5.HipHop Jazz Needless to say, of course there is HipHop rhythm in it. Jazz.

6.Africa Jazz I think the beat is heavier, the movements are big and neat, and it pursues the beauty of strength. There is usually a head shaking movement.

7. Latin Jazz In fact, this genre is not very obvious, but Latin jazz was originally related to international standard dance, such as Samba and so on. Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, there is a passionate and seductive feeling when dancing.

8. A dance style that combines Be-bop House and Jazz. Be-Bop is a dance style that is a mixture of House and New Jazz, because it is full of many footwork movements like House, but while doing the movements, you must also make the body feel like an extension like New Jazz. So there is also the so-called Be-Bop Jazz.

Lockin

Lockin This action was developed from the funny cartoon character called Rerun, who was in "What's happening" Appearing in the show, he often does very funny dances, moving his hands and feet very fast, but he will pause briefly or lock in between movements.

Lockin is when the body makes some fast movements and then suddenly stops during a certain movement. The main key lies in the rotation and freezing of the hands. Lock dance is a form of Old Skool. It appeared earlier than Breakin. It originated in Los Angeles, USA. It is a dance that places great emphasis on cleanliness, because the "lock" gesture in the dance is similar to the sudden "freeze" dance feeling. ] function, so it is called the lock dance. The lock originated in Los Angeles, USA. It is said to be a street dance developed by black people in the ancient caves who watched the Chinese playing nunchucks in the caves. It appeared earlier than breakin. It is a kind of street dance that emphasizes cleanness and sharpness. Falling dance, because the "lock" gesture in the dance is similar to the "lock" function of the sudden "freeze" dance feeling, and the two hands swinging back and forth really look like nunchucks! I admire the unique creativity of black people, the so-called natural dance music nation. Mostly hand movements.

There are many styles, and there is no right or wrong. After deformation, you can add a lot of things into it. Divided into two parts Twist & Lock.

(It’s not clear in words. If you want to know, please contact the hot dance club of each school.) In short, the Lock part is a bit similar to Popin, and Twist is a bit difficult to practice. It is not easy to do well. This is really difficult to explain in words. To put it simply, Lockin pays most attention to the feeling of point. Although this is a prerequisite for every kind of dance, in Locker’s view, the posture, direction, angle, and even momentum of point must all be important. It’s not Lockin unless you are strictly required to do so. We often see some people thinking they are good at Lockin and teaching others different Lockin movements. This is really worrying!

In around the 1970s, Don Campbell invented lockin (also known as Campbelllocking), a unique improvisational dance step in a nightclub in Los Angeles. This dance step and its associated culture quickly spread to the outside world and set off a craze, and also contributed to a new TV show at the time called Soul Train. In this program, the dancers quickly perform locking and pointin movements, and often use hand slaps and splits to interpret their unique style. Don originated the improvisational dance "Campbellockin" and continued to style it. He and his partner Damita Jo Freeman toured around with the staff who organized Soul Train at the time. Soon after, Don formed another group whose main style was locking improvisational solo. Its name was "Campbellocking Dancers". This group was composed of Don Campbell, Fred "Mr. Penguin" Berry, Charles Robot, Slim Robot and Sambo Lock. The way they performed at that time was that the dancers stood up from a line of everyone to solo and then retreated. During that time Greg Campbellock Jr., Scooby doo Foster, Leo Fluky Luke, Tony Go-Go, Buddy Go-Go and Skeeter Rabbit were inventing new dance moves that were later unified as we know them today. The same.

Lockin has 25 basic actions including Lock, Point, Drum, Twirl, 6 Step, Scoobie Doo, Skeeter Rabbit, Scooby, Rock Steady, Get Fancy, Kick Walk, Shuffle, Sneek , Stop and go, Jump, Which a way, Funky chick, Guita

Poppin

Poppin makes the body move like a robot, using the tension and relaxation of muscles to make the body Vibrations and stops, while general Poppin includes shoulders, chest, arms, legs, etc. Sometimes waving (current dance) is also included in the scope of Poppin. Mechanical dance is usually performed as a solo, and there are less line dances, and it also belongs to the Old School. Lockin Dance is also called lock dance. It mainly uses hand-turning and locking movements to produce a dazzling sense of beauty and strength. It belongs to the Old school.

This time I will talk about the following exercises. :

1. Hand exercises

1. Put your hands in a posture that looks like riding a horse, put your fingers down, and feel very relaxed

2. Then press your wrist down, but keep the finger part upward. When you press your wrist down, do you see a hollow in the forearm, that is, a small hole in the shaft (repeat this practice That’s it! )

3. During the exercise, look at the upper part of the hand to see if the muscles are exploding. If so, check to see if there is any beating in the part where the chest is connected to the arm, as well as the back. Are your muscles twitching? When you press your wrist down, do you feel the muscles in your chest beating slightly? But what you need to pay attention to is: it's not the chest moving forward, but the chest muscles beating upward. If you have the above points, then you are correct.

It is estimated that the beating of the back muscles may not be noticeable when you first start practicing, but it will be OK if you practice hard. It should be noted that when practicing hands, do not exert force on your shoulders. The force is on your wrists. Please try it to see if you feel it.

This hand exercise should be combined with the foot exercise, so that it will be natural

2. Foot POP exercises

The POP of the feet is actually That is what everyone calls crotch POP. Many people think it is complicated and difficult to practice. In fact, crotch exercises are easier than hand exercises. As long as you don’t think it is too complicated, try your best. It's simple, the simpler, the better. Just follow my method to practice it, and you will see some effects soon. Pay attention to using your knees.

1. Stand up first, then bend your knees slightly forward, a bit like you are about to sit down.

2. As mentioned in the first point, stand up slowly from this action. Remember to straighten your feet slowly, but do not use force.

3. Stand up slowly. When your feet are about to stand straight, suddenly push your feet straight here quickly (that is, push your knees back). Do you reach the POP of stepping down by practicing this repeatedly? Woolen cloth? Remember not to use any force on your buttocks or pull them in. That is an incorrect way to practice. Try to keep it as simple as possible

This foot exercise should be combined with the hand exercise. This is natural

3. POP on the head

In fact, it is an effect achieved by pushing the head in the direction of a 45-degree angle

4. POP of the chest

After practicing the three points mentioned above, the chest will naturally POP, but the real single chest vibration requires practice. The first practice method is to straighten the waist. Do you feel When your waist is a little sore, pay attention to lifting your chest, and then slowly relax and suddenly do a POP, but this POP is not about waist strength, the straightening of the waist is just to be more beautiful during POP.

HipHop

Open categories: music, culture, art, hip-hop, DJ

HipHop is a cultural term, including rap, graffiti, hip-hop, street ball, B-BOX and DJ, etc.; rap originated in the 1960s era, and Hip-Hop as a musical understanding originated in the early 1970s. Its predecessor was RAP (sometimes with a little R(B) added.

HipHop literally means hip, Hop is jumping on one foot, and together it is a light twist of the hip. It originally referred to the embryonic stage of hip-hop (that is, what we used to call break dancing), and later gradually developed into a huge concept - what we now call HipHop culture. It also includes those baggy clothes, heavy pure gold jewelry, and the oral habit of "YoYo what's up?" - in short, it is the lifestyle of black people in slums in the United States and their "style" .

The origin of HipHop can be summed up by the word "poor". In addition to the convenience of sports, most black families have a large number of people and little income, so the older brother wears it. The clothes that were too small were given to the younger brothers, which led to the formation of the style of huge clothes; why is there graffiti? This thing was first used as a symbol of the division of influence between various gangs in the neighborhood, and later became more and more beautiful and refined, and developed into Folk art; why is there hip-hop? Because they didn’t have money to go to dance halls, and racial discrimination still existed at that time, and people with money might not be able to have fun in white dance halls; why are pure HipHop works mainly black and Must use foul language? Because these black youths on the street have no future and no hope. They hate much more than they love.

History

The so-called HipHop Dance is the most widely popular type of street dance now. If we look at it from a dance point of view, it can be divided into two categories: New School and Old School. Category. How to distinguish these two types? We can distinguish them based on age, movement or music type. In fact, HipHop is the general name for all kinds of hip-hop.

In fact, what we call Breakin Dance or It is Old School and is also a type of HipHop. This kind of Old School dance includes things like lockin (lock dance), Poppin (mechanical dance), Breakin (break dance), and Wave (current) (this kind of break dance style The famous group of dance style is Rock Steady Crew. It originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers. Most of these street dancers are black or Mexican. Perhaps it is the so-called "poor man's entertainment". Most of the popular street dance originated in Brooklyn, New York, USA (this area is full of poor blacks or Mexicans.) These black and Mexican children hang out and dance in the streets all day long, and they naturally become Various factions naturally develop different styles in the dances they dance.

Hip-Hop Dance also has regional characteristics

We can divide it into New York Style and L.A. Style. Things from these two regions present polarized styles. For example, New York Style is the body distortion and various hip-hop styles that we generally see. Perhaps New York is Henry’s home base. , so naturally the Hiphop style in this area is also more inclined to Henry's style, with in-situ dance coupled with strange body twists and a combination of Lockin (lock dance), Poppin (machine dance), and Wave (current). , it is not difficult for us to imagine that it is a casual style of black people.

As for L.A. Style HipHop, it inherits and continues the hip-hop, big movements and footsteps that were popular during the MC Hammer and Bobby Brown eras. The variety also retains its explosive characteristics. It just adds many new tricks to the changes in movements. Also because HipHop is divided into these two factions, many dancers or magazines and media no longer refer to them collectively as hipHop Dance. .They call New York Style HipHop NEW School. And they call L.A. Style HipHop Street Dance
