Expansion: Combination training in the basic skills of classical Chinese dance

Combination training in the basic skills of classical Chinese dance is the form and means of basic skills training, it is very important for the cultivation of dancers in the basic techniques, skills, and the style and rhythm of classical dance, which encompasses all the basic techniques in the dance system of classical Chinese dance, and it is very important for the cultivation of dancers in the basic techniques and skills of classical dance. It encompasses all the movement vocabulary and structural components in the dance system of classical Chinese dance, and is the basic content of classical dance training. Starting from the aesthetics of the human body, this training system takes into full consideration the objective conditions of the dancer's physical quality, body structure, muscle lines, etc., and puts forward a series of systematic, scientific, and effective training methods for dance techniques, which effectively assist the dancers in their study of classical dance. After decades of continuous development, the `combination training of the basic skills of Chinese classical dance has been recognized by colleagues from all walks of life, and has helped our country cultivate a large number of excellent classical dance dance performance talents. The following author from the control, rotation, turn over, jump four aspects of classical dance basic skills combination training to analyze.

First, control combination training

Control combination training is the most basic part of the basic training of Chinese classical dance, its main purpose is to train the dancers' balance and center of gravity adjustment ability and other control abilities. Control ability is an indispensable ability in classical dance posture transformation and phrase articulation, which plays an important role in standardizing dance movements. Control combination refers to a series of techniques and ways to realize the connection of classical dance stance, technique and dance posture through scientific and reasonable control ability. In view of the characteristics of the dance movements of classical Chinese dance, the control combination training can start from the following two aspects: 1. Strengthening the control training of the back leg in the basic skills. Lifting the leg backward in classical Chinese dance has always been a difficult point, which requires very high control of the dancers. During the training, dancers can use one of the legs as the support leg and lift the other leg slowly backward, then stand still for a few seconds, then change the leg and repeat the above action until both legs can be opened successively to 90 degrees. 2. Strengthen the control training of the heel and leg parts. The weak control ability of the actor's heel and leg parts will directly lead to the instability of the full squatting of the front step, thus most of the classical dance movements can not be successfully completed, in order to solve this problem, the dancers can use the way of supporting and pulling the back tendon to improve the control of the heel and leg parts, i.e., sitting on the ground to carry out the action of hooking the feet of the legs to strengthen the length and strength of the heel and leg support. In addition to strengthening the training of endurance and strength of all parts of the body, the control combination training also requires dancers to be able to reasonably convert the movement technology, the aesthetic requirements of classical dance form, spirit, strength, and rhythm through the soothing, smooth, and coherent body movements to convey. Dancers should learn to integrate the expressive power of movement with the functionality of the body, so as to appropriately use the control power to make the transformation of movement more realistic and natural, and avoid deliberately switching the phrase dance, resulting in mechanization of the performance. In addition, in order to maximize the effect of control combination training, dancers should combine performance with training, in addition to practicing the basic skills of movement, but also on the dance clip for repeated practice, targeted arrangements for the role of the control force, so as to better achieve the performance of classical dance emotion and temperament.

Second, the rotation combination training

The rotation is an important part of the basic skills of classical Chinese dance, which not only has a high training value, but also has a strong artistic expression. The rotation in classical Chinese dance specifically refers to the dancer's continuous rotation of the center of gravity around a support point with relatively fixed movements. The rotary combination training refers to the training of three kinds of rotations, namely, in-situ rotation, aerial rotation and marching rotation. With the continuous development of Chinese classical dance, the types of rotation have been developed on the basis of the above three, but we can still technically categorize them into two categories: single rotation and compound rotation. Regardless of the category of rotation, the center of gravity axis is the key to rotational stability, and power is the source of rotational maintenance. Specifically, the classical dance rotation combination training can start from the following two skills:1. Start from the upright rotation, establish the concept of the center of gravity. Classical dance rotation is based on the center of gravity, dancers can only grasp the center of gravity, in order to carry out complex rotation and other difficult training. Upright rotation as the most stable center of gravity, the simplest way to rotate, can quickly let the dancers grasp the key points of rotation, to establish the concept of the center of gravity. Upright rotation usually requires dancers to tighten the abdomen, stand up the waist, lift up the chest, sink the shoulders, arrange the body on a vertical line, and then rotate with force, at which time the actors' sense of gravity is obvious, and they can regulate and control the center of gravity on their own.2. Emphasis on the training of the starting method, and maintenance of rotational dynamics. The pre-movement of rotation in Chinese classical dance is commonly known as the starting method, and the goodness of the starting method is directly related to the continuity of rotation. It is not easy to practice a powerful start. Dancers can first practice the start in a semi-squatting position, which is easier for beginners as the legs are flung rapidly to generate power. In addition, the actor can also use the wrong step, step and other ways to assist the pre-movement, these actions can be borrowed for the rotation, thus enhancing the power of the rotation; or, the actor can also use the upper limbs to swing arm power to drive the whole body rotation. Finally, it should be noted that no matter what kind of rotary combination with specific dance posture, so as to make the rotation after the appearance of the action more perfect.

Third, turn over combination training

Turn over is the most demanding of the Chinese classical dance technology, skills, it is fully integrated with the Chinese opera, martial arts movement form, the need for dancers to the waist as the axis, with arms and legs as the driving force, so that the body in the air to complete the wringing, tilting, leaning, tilting, pitching, lifting a series of action conversion, the movement of the complexity and difficulty of the movement of the The complexity and difficulty of the movements make them of high appreciation value. In the turn-over movements of Chinese classical dance, the front flip, decomposition of the front soft flip and the complete front soft flip are the three most commonly used ways of turn-over, and the turn-over combination training mainly focuses on these three ways of turn-over to be carried out. The following author will introduce the action elements of the flip combination training in detail. For the front flip, in the starting position to quickly do a squatting action to accumulate power, while the rear legs stirrups the ground to leap forward, stay in the air, the actor to ensure that the body is taut to ensure a smooth landing; for the decomposition of the air before the soft flip, the actor in the starting position to put the center of gravity on the right foot, while the left foot lifted slightly pointing to the ground, arms raised, and then flipped, the process of the air, the actor should make a timely Propping hand action to ensure that the action is coherent and natural; for the complete airborne front soft flip, its preparatory action with the decomposition of airborne front soft flip, the difference is that after landing the actor to directly carry out the next flip. This way of flipping for the consistency and stability of the action requirements are extremely high, the actors do a good job in the starting action at the same time, but also need to do a good job of leg stirrups and arm movements, in the flip articulation support hand, support hand action later on the next flip of the borrowed power is greater, which requires dancers to calculate in their minds to support the hand of the time to ask a good point, so that the support hand force can be carried over to the next flip, and will not be injured because of the support hand too late. This requires the dancers to calculate the time point in their mind so that the force of the hand support can be carried over to the next flip without getting hurt because of late hand support. In short, dancers, regardless of which flip to start training, need to focus on the aesthetic characteristics of classical Chinese dance to carry out, to truly achieve the waist roll displacement, standing round without deformation, so as to maximize the flip action to show the effect of flying.

Four, jump combination training

Jump is the basic movement of classical Chinese dance, but also the center of the basic training of classical dance. Classical dance jump combination training draws on the principle of bouncing in the sports a use of leg ligaments and muscle groups produced by the reaction force to support the body gravity, and then realize the jumping action. The greater the reaction force of the human body, the longer the jumping time and the higher the jump. For the characteristics of Chinese classical dance, jump combination training is usually divided into single-footed jump and double-footed jump in two ways, but no matter how to jump, to complete a complete set of jumps need to do a good job of dancers running (tend to step), squatting, jumping, jumping in the air, landing a series of complex action groups, any one link of poor performance will affect the whole jump action of the beauty. The author of the following step-by-step training on the breakdown of the jump to do a detailed explanation: jump in the run and tend to step the same role, are jumping before a way to borrow power, just run relative to tend to step is slightly faster and more conducive to the display of big jumps, flying jumps and other difficult jumps, this link requires dancers to pace smooth, equal, always keep the leg muscles taut; jumping in the second part of the squatting, the actor can through the Strengthen the heel leg and leg ligaments, muscle groups to increase the power of squatting action, expand the amplitude of squatting action, so that squatting can maximize the role of its borrowed power; jump the third link is also the most important link is to jump, in the jump, dancers should be as far as possible to the lower limb amplitude of the open, stretch, so as to help prolong the air to stay in the time; the fourth link of the vacated is mainly to the The fourth part of the air is mainly for the dancers to maintain the shape and prepare for the landing action and set up, you need to bend your knees slightly to cope with the upcoming landing; in the last part of the landing, the actors have to use the half-foot support on the ground, which can effectively ease the pressure on the bipolar joints, but also make the action more lightweight. Classical dance jumping action is the most important aesthetic standard is high and light, in order to achieve these two points in addition to the need to follow the above steps for repeated training, the dancers should also pay attention to the usual physical quality of the training, this is because in the Chinese classical dance jumping action is often found, the actor needs to have a better physical quality in order to smooth the completion of a series of jumps, flying feet and other physically demanding action.

V. Conclusion

Classical Chinese dance basic combination training is a scientific, systematic and perfect dance training mode, which fully takes into account the characteristics of the movement and aesthetic requirements of the classical Chinese dance, and truly realizes the harmony and unity of the physical skills and physical quality. As contemporary dance workers, we should constantly strive to explore newer and better training modes, and do our part to cultivate excellent dance talents in classical Chinese dance.
