Types of sports dance

Latin dance in sports dance includes: samba, rumba, bullfighting, cha-cha-cha, cowboy.

These five types of dance are popular both in social occasions and in sports dance competitions.

Usually two people dance together, a man and a woman.

The holding positions vary, sometimes in intimate embraces, sometimes the partners hold each other's hands one by one.

The positions in these dances have been standardized and categorized into different levels for teaching purposes, with internationally standardized phrases, techniques, rhythms, and tempos.

But that's not all, these dances have various origins.

The Romance languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) have their origins in the ancient Latin language, which spread throughout most of the Americas, creating a culture.

Three dances came from this part of the world, one from Spain or France, and the other from the United States, leading to what is now the international standard dance, Latin Dance.

When referring to the term Latin dance, this is an acronym for Latin and American, rather than referring to the geographic region of Latin America.

The three dances from Latin America are a fusion of Native, European and Negro dances.

In the early days, European conquistadors imported Negroes from all over West Africa to most of the Americas, mainly because they had a hard time persuading the natives to work for them.

So numerous were these blacks that by 1553 they outnumbered the Europeans in Mexico, and the viceroy ordered Charles of Spain to prohibit any further influx of blacks.

Dance had a pivotal role in all three cultures: European, Negro, and native In 1569, the viceroy of Mexico ordered the burying of the calendar of the Aflatacs, because the main entertainment of the Negroes had become the dance, which had become popular there.

Then the viceroy decreed that dancing could be done only on Sundays and holidays from 2:00 to 6:00 pm.

By the 17th and 18th centuries, the gradual fusion of the three cultures led to the creation of a new culture, the Creole language.

As European dances were introduced to Latin America, they gradually embraced this culture.

In Cuba, with the popularization of syncopated rhythms, the opposite dance became the Habanera (a tango-like dance).

Later, as it merged with the rhythms of bar music, the syncopation became stronger and stronger and became shortened to "son".

This rhythm was already in use in Brazil in 1795, and one of its songs (Love Song) became popular in Europe at the turn of the 19th century.

The complex syncopated rhythms now characterize all Latin dances.

---- In 1924, London, England, by the British initiated the European and American dance class people, in the extensive study of the traditional court dance, ballroom dance and Latin American countries on the basis of the various styles of morale dance, this is standardized and embellished processing, in 1925 formally promulgated the waltz, tango, foxtrot, quick-step step of four kinds of dance steps, collectively referred to as the modem dance.

And this dance was first promoted and competed in Western Europe, and then promoted to countries around the world, and was welcomed and loved by many countries.

---- In 1950, the British "Blackpool", sponsored by the British ICBD (World Dance Organization) hosted the first world competition "BLACKPOOL DANCE FESTIVAL 1950" ("Blackpool Dance Festival"). "BLACKPOOL DANCE FESTIVAL 1950" (Blackpool Dance Festival), and after the standardization of the dance named international standard ballroom dance, and the end of May every year, in the United Kingdom, "Blackpool" held a world competition.

With the continuous promotion of this dance in the world, it has also been developed, and the Viennese Waltz has been added to the Modern Dance.

----1 In 1960, the folk dances of some countries in Africa and Latin America were standardized and processed, and then added the Latin dance competition, which also has five dances: rumba, cha-cha-cha, samba, cowboys, bullfighting.

Modern and Latin dance styles are very different.

Beautiful vitality - International Standard Dance

International Standard Dance is one of the most primitive social art, and even can be said to be the primitive instincts of every human being, it is the original human action to be organized, through the finishing and design, and with the extension of the music beat for the beautiful dance action, it is no national boundaries, No rich and poor, an international social etiquette, called - international standard dance.

If you want to dance well, there are many basic factors that must be mastered, from the basic unity of mind and body, limbs to carry out the transmission, the basic dance specifications, the correct music beat, the interpretation of the music mood and the coordination of the partner interaction skills, the feelings of the input conveyance to the choreography creation of the mood of each department.

The superb and perfect interest, even if the study of a lifetime to explore not exhaustive, due to the limitations of space, in this article will only be teaching standard dance, encountered some experience and thoughts simply put forward with the seniors, fellow good consultation, and please teach.

How to dance international standard dance? International Standard Dance is the vitality of the human soul, the ultimate expression of emotions. To learn International Standard Dance well, you must pay attention to the "four qi", "four paths" and the three parts of the song.

What are the four chi?

First, righteousness (with feelings and righteousness) Feeling from power inside.

Second, and gas (body and mind unity)

Third, righteousness (within the smothering outside the result of idle gas broken, within the positive gas outside the idle gas of evil can not overcome the result of the divine gas) The Ancient Wen Tianxiang Quotes.

What are the four paths?

God knows the way to get five points, realize it to get twenty points, to do it to get seventy-five points (learn a hundred lessons), and practice yourself for ten thousand hours to get one point.

If you can do the above three things, you will be able to get a hundred points.

What is the trilogy?

First, the correct concept of the beginner:

Many of the new friends of the dance, when they come to the classroom, are always very concerned about how to move their feet, how to dance a lot of flower steps, and are not interested in understanding the basic principles of the dance.

Because dancing is not a form of gymnastics, it is a language of the heart that expresses the emotions of the heart through the steps.

Learning to dance should be based on the heart, to learn how to put their own mood, using the rhythm of the dance, to express themselves and their partners between **** Ming, rather than the beginning, they are concerned about how to move the feet, which step after the step into the bull's eye.

With this concept, learning to dance can only hope to dance well, otherwise again practice or can not get away from looking down at the feet, the delimitation of the box, never progress, foreign countries say that the Taiwanese dance "John walk" is to refer to this.

Second, the correct steps for intermediates:

After breaking through the barriers of beginner's class, you know the skills of self-expression of emotions, but standard dance, after all, is not an improvisation, and there are basic specifications for each type of dance, dance steps.

These rules, even when the dancer conveys himself, should not be outrageous, or else he will give people the impression of being out of place.

Students in the intermediate class, when learning the steps, often for the sake of more, faster, and not willing to dance clear step rhythm, so even if you learn more steps, but due to the many but not correct, it is difficult to perform on stage in front of a large audience.

Third, the emotional commitment of the advanced class:

Many advanced classes and competitors, when learning to dance, often have the phenomenon of "form without heart", because of the focus on the performance of superb skills, gorgeous choreography concept, so that the dance in the basic moving the true feelings, the true meaning of the unknowingly thrown away.

The first and most important thing to remember is that, when you see a dance that doesn't have a heart, it's like watching a mechanical gymnastic exercise, and you're not moved.

This is especially true for contestants and advanced students who want to be recognized by the judges.

These are my comments to the students of International Standard Dance.

Dance is a discipline that leads people to live in the realm of truth, goodness, and beauty, and it is entertainment, sport, and philosophy.

We dancers are very fortunate to be able to get more joy of life through it than ordinary people.

We hope that the standard of dance in Taiwan can be raised to the top of the world with the participation of young dancers from generation to generation, and we also hope that standard dance teachers across the country can work together to raise the standard of dance from one generation to the next.
