How to dance the national standard dance better?

Professional and amateur are well distinguished. A simple movement or a basic dance step can tell the difference between a professional dancer and an amateur dancer. Of course, many amateurs have jumped out of the professional level, and many people have changed from amateur dancers to professional players.

A dancer's graceful dancing also reflects his own quality and mental outlook. Therefore, everyone who dances wants to dance well. Let me talk about my criteria for judging dance masters. 1. Basic Skills For ballroom dancing, whether it is competitive ballroom dancing or mass ballroom dancing, we all know the importance of basic skills. Therefore, to judge the level of a dancer, we must first observe whether its basic skills are excellent. If the basic skills are not enough, no matter how complicated and changeable the dance steps are, they must be unsightly, messy, immature and even particularly ugly. To see whether a person's basic skills are solid, first of all, it is reflected in whether the legs have strength. Only when the legs are strong can the body be stably supported and controlled, and the posture and lines of the body can be controlled stably and beautifully. A pair of lame legs must be stiff, generous, unattractive and unstable. A pair of strong legs is the prerequisite for dancing well. Therefore, if you want to dance ballroom dancing well, you must first practice your legs firmly and flexibly. Look at whether a person's basic skills are solid, and then look at whether his feet are strong. The footwork of many movements in dance is with the soles of the feet or toes. If the dancer's feet are weak and his heels can't be lifted, he can't correctly express the feeling required by the dance steps. Some people can't support their bodies even if they barely lift their heels, which leads to ugly body posture deformation and unstable center of gravity, giving people a bad feeling of being on cloud nine. It's best if your feet can be practiced like a ballet dancer. Therefore, whether the sole of the foot has strength is also a content to judge whether the basic skills are excellent. Third, whether a person's basic skills are solid depends on whether his footwork is standardized. Dance steps are familiar to most dance lovers. Now, whether learning dance or teaching dance, the focus is on the teaching of dance steps. But the same dance steps, the same rhythm, the high jump is very standardized, the basic skills are not solid, giving people a feeling of chaos and disorganization. Therefore, whether the footwork is standardized is also a problem that dance lovers should pay attention to. Fourth, whether a person's basic skills are solid depends on whether his footwork is correct. Footwork is a problem that many social dancers tend to ignore. The footwork of ballroom dancing is somewhat similar to that of modern dance, while the footwork of Latin dance is different from the former two. I often see many people dancing Latin dance, looking at their upper body, dancing well, with beautiful body posture and harmonious arm swing, but looking down, because their footwork is really poor and wrong, it gives people a strong feeling of chaotic footwork; It is also because of his wrong footwork that his hip and leg movements did not jump out of the feeling and taste of Latin dance, especially for some children. Fifth, whether a person's basic skills are solid depends on whether his body posture is correct and beautiful. To maintain a good posture, the dancer must first be steady. There is no root under your feet, your legs are weak, and your posture must be incorrect and beautiful. To maintain a beautiful posture, you should know how to relax and how to exert yourself instantly. Some people can't say that their posture is incorrect, but their bodies and arms are stiff, some are tense and stiff in the whole upper body, and some are stiff in the shoulders. Such a stiff posture gives people a very bad feeling that they can't dance well. In most cases, the body should be relaxed naturally, not tense and stiff, and not artificial. In the process of dancing, when you need to push and pull each other hard, sometimes you have to maintain a certain tension, but you still can't be stiff, you must be generous and natural. Sixth, whether a person's basic skills are solid depends on whether his physical coordination is good. Some people have poor physical coordination. When they dance, the movements of their upper body and legs are out of touch, and there is no sense of wholeness, so the jumping movements are very ugly and even make people feel numb. Some body and arm movements are not coordinated, which is even more ugly. People with poor physical coordination are difficult to correct. The deeper you step on your foot, the better your body coordination will be, and the proficiency of your movements will also affect your coordination. Seventh, whether a person's basic skills are solid or not depends on his mastery of dance style and basic steps. Learning every dance begins with the basic dance steps, which are the most basic and soul thing of this dance and the most distinctive dance steps. Generally speaking, dance steps are divided into three grades: bronze, silver and gold. The silver dance is silver, the gold dance is gold, but the copper dance is diamond, which is the most important thing. Bronze dance steps refer to basic dance steps and some simple prescribed movements. Many people don't want to practice basic dance steps, but they always want to learn difficult and complicated tricks, which leads to their poor basic dance steps. Many difficult moves are practiced skillfully, but they don't grasp the style of dance. For example, some people don't dance Latin obviously, which is the reason. In fact, the basic steps are the most difficult to practice. Many people perform routines very well, but it is ugly to let him dance elementary routines, because the basic dance steps are not well practiced and the basic skills of this dance are not solid. He didn't practice the basic dance steps well, that is to say, he didn't grasp the dance style well, even if he danced advanced movements, it was difficult to jump out of the feeling of dancing. Sometimes, I often see a pair of dancers who are very skilled in Latin dance, and their complicated movements and various patterns get bursts of cheers. Laymen think they dance well, but judging from the style of dance, the style characteristics of their dance movements are really weak. You don't know what kind of dance they are dancing without accompanying dance, because the dance style of their movements is not obvious. Eighth, whether a person's basic skills are solid or not depends on his ability to rotate. Rotation is the most important element in dance, accounting for more than 60% of the whole routine. So rotation is the most important basic skill in dance. Many people can turn slowly, but once they turn a little faster, they can't turn, and they have no sense of rhythm, stability and fluency, and some even can't keep up with the rhythm. After mastering the essentials of rotation, practice more and find the feeling slowly. 2. Leading the dance and following the dance are two people's dances. There is a division of labor between men and women. As we all know, the male partner leads the dance and the female partner dances with it. As a man, if you want to guide a lady into the right position, you must first master not only your own dance steps, but also clearly understand the lady's dance steps. If this can be done, even if the man passes the customs, there is generally no big problem. The most common problem is the following dance of women. Many women are always rushing to shoot faster than men, making their own decisions and pulling men to dance. This is a very serious mistake, especially for some female dance teachers, who may have developed this problem in the teaching process, but now that you are dancing the female step, you should be passive. Don't try to guide men actively, but jump under the guidance of men. The correct follow-up for a lady is to dance under the control of a man. The general feeling is that she is pushed or guided by a man. A woman must be passive. She always gives a response to a man. This reaction should not be too big, too big, so that the man feels that you are heavy. If you are too young, you will lose the dance relationship between you and become a dance for everyone. Without priority, it will be messy. If the woman does not respond to the man, but grabs the racket and pulls the man to jump, then the problem is serious. If it's not good, that man will never ask you to dance again. Some ladies can't keep up with Latin dance and don't know how to cooperate. When dancing, their hands are very strong, which pulls the man out of the rhythm of music and distorts his movements. Then she felt that she couldn't step on the point and took the initiative to correct the correct rhythm of the music. This is not right. Even if you jump wrong, you should lead the lady back to the correct rhythm under the control of the man. Otherwise, the lady will act on her own and disobey orders. No matter how well a lady dances, men are willing to dance with her as long as she has a strong sense of following the dance and is good at cooperating. Such a young lady is easy to walk, and she can walk even if she can't dance. If a lady doesn't know how to follow the dance, it's hard to correct, because no one will have the patience to explain the truth to her, and some people won't understand. Some women are born with this awareness of following the dance, rather than practicing it.

Therefore, the consciousness of leading and following dance is also a very important content to judge the level of dance.

3. Rhythm and Musical Sense Every ballroom dance has its own unique style characteristics, and the style characteristics of each dance are closely related to its rhythm. Therefore, people with a strong sense of rhythm dance the same step, and the feeling of different dances is different, because the style, feeling and handling of the same step in different dances are different, which can be reflected in the rhythm of the dance. For the music rhythm itself, the beat rhythm and the feeling contained in the drum itself reflect the style characteristics of the dance, so people with strong sense of rhythm can jump out of the feeling of the dance even if they can't dance the dance. If the rhythm of the dance is right, you may not be able to jump out of the dance style. Only by understanding the musical feeling expressed by rhythm and expressing this feeling with body language can we grasp the style of this dance. Many people dance with the right rhythm and can step on it accurately, but they can't grasp the feeling reflected by the rhythm and can't express it, so they can't dance their own unique style. The sense of rhythm we are talking about here not only refers to the accuracy of the beat, but also includes the feeling contained in the drum itself. With a sense of rhythm, combined with the essentials of basic dance steps, we can grasp the style of dance. But as an artistic performance, this is not enough. Now your dance is just a bone, which still gives people a dry feeling. If you want to make your dance have a strong artistic expression, dance is flesh and blood, full and infectious, and have a good sense of music, you should also show the feelings expressed by music melody and emotions in your correct dance style. You can use body language to express the above contents at the same time. The same dance, the same rhythm, in different accompaniment dance music, its music melody and style are different. Therefore, under the condition of the same dance style, the musical sense expressed by the same dance step will be different. If you can do this, you can be regarded as a real master dancer. Many people have solid basic skills, but the artistic expression of dance is poor. The main reason is that their sense of rhythm and music is not good, and they can't accurately express the feeling of music. Action and music are not harmonious, and some even have the wrong rhythm, which is even worse. There are many people who have good basic skills and are skilled in dancing. When they dance, they are not allowed to stand still, either stealing or dragging the camera. Sometimes I can't step on the spot and cheat, and then I return to the normal rhythm. Although they can finally get the rhythm, in the process of dancing, experts will think that your dance is very problematic, your sense of rhythm and music is not good, and the coordination with music is not harmonious and natural, which affects the artistic expression of the whole dance. Some people's difficult and complicated dance steps in the high jump involve a lot of rotation, but the feeling of rotation and the rhythm of music do not conform to the artistic conception of music. Without music, you will feel that they dance well, but with music, you will feel very bad. Some people even don't understand the relationship between dance and music at all, and even think that music is dispensable, which is a big mistake. 4. Improvise a master dancer, to a certain extent, there are many elements to play when dancing advanced movements. Even a simple basic step, in advanced dance, there are many places where body and arm movements can be played, but this play must match the rhythm, melody and feeling of music, otherwise, it will fail. For example, many so-called dance masters like to perform as much as possible when dancing Latin dance, because their basic skills are excellent, and their body and arm movements can be better expressed, but one problem they often ignore is the coordination between movements and music rhythm and feelings, so sometimes when I dance with these masters, I feel that their performances destroy the dance rhythm and feelings expressed by music, especially when dancing rumba. It destroys the feeling that rumba dance is steady and shaky, soft and rigid, and destroys the feeling that rumba dance rhythm is fast and slow, which is out of harmony with the artistic conception of music. Such a play is a failure. In the process of dancing, if you can integrate the dance movements with the rhythm and melody of music, then you are a master dancer. I have said a lot of my opinions above, and there must be omissions or inappropriate places. You are also welcome to add corrections. This is just an armchair strategist. You don't have to be a master dancer to understand these truths, but you must hone them.
