Catwalk, also known as catwalk, is a professional name.

refers to a stylized step used by fashion models in fashion shows.

When walking, the left and right feet step on the center line between the two feet in turn, or step on the left foot to the right and the right foot to the left, which creates a rhythmic beauty.

Catwalk is a classic footwork of fashion models. It is said that cats walk in this way, hence the name.

There is another saying to explain the origin of the word "cat step":

The English word for a MODEL is MODEL, and the step taken by a model is naturally called Model step, which is transliteration.

It has something to do with the MODEL, not with the cat (only taking its sound, not its meaning).

The most interesting statement is that the catwalk was first invented by a famous woman in ancient China.

This girl is Sun Shou, the wife of Liang Ji, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liang Ji is ugly, but Sun Shou is charming and graceful. The Biography of Liang Ji in the Later Han Dynasty writes:

(Sun Shou) looks beautiful and good as a demon, making a frown, crying his makeup, falling into a ponytail, bending over and smiling at his decayed teeth, thinking he is charming.

According to research, the so-called waist-bending step is basically the same as the catwalk taken by models today.

Regardless of when and where the catwalk originated for the time being, we all have to admit that this kind of catwalk can perfectly show the beauty of a woman's body, which is elegant, straight and unique, and can give viewers the greatest visual satisfaction.

In the early years, the catwalk was very exaggerated. Both legs of the models stepped on the left, then left and right, which really worried whether they would accidentally twist into a twist.

Now they are the leaders of natural style, and the gap between models and their lives has been greatly reduced, adding a little intimacy.

maybe some people think that catwalk is just walking.

that's also true.

but when you walk to the runway, you can only walk beautifully, beautifully and wonderfully.

if you really want to walk so beautifully, you must pay the price.

Don't drop a book when you walk around it. This is a model training scene that everyone often sees.

actually, there are many training items such as standing, breathing, eyes, rhythm and so on.

cats can walk the catwalk because they are naturally lazy and elegant.

Models can only do the catwalk through countless boring exercises.

One of the things that models do when they walk the catwalk is to keep their shoulders still.

and don't hunch over.

the waist is moving now.

but the upper body can't move.

modeling is also one of the main things.

the catwalk is right.

but the catwalk is not just about moving your legs.

it drives the legs through the hipbone.

The key to walking on the stage is to be steady. It's good to put a book on your head so that it won't fall off when you walk. Moreover, don't glance around, have affinity with your background music and clap, and it's also important to coordinate your hands and feet. It's not that the higher you lift it, or that your hands will look good when you open it. The main thing is to look at the collocation of your clothes and music.

If possible, look at the plates of the model contest at home and try to figure it out.

When you appear, you can't just stand there facing the audience, but make an angle of 45 degrees with the audience.

When a model performs, she should walk slowly and steadily, with her legs taut and her toes facing forward, and walk to the front desk in a straight line, and stay at the front desk for a long time.

when you turn around, you should move slowly and pay attention to keeping your head, that is, your head should turn slower than your body and give the audience as much face as possible.

when turning back, pay attention to turning back, that is, the head should turn faster than the body, leaving as little as possible for the audience.

the movements are natural and graceful.

so, how do you train the running and starting of the catwalk as a MODEL? Below Helen will teach you two basic and MODEL important key exercises:

1. Practice standing posture

Requirements:

Standing:

Stand upright, hold your head up and abdomen, and everything should be flat. This is the minimum standing posture, with your heels, hips, shoulders, calf and back of your head attached to the wall, your hands vertically lowered, and your legs caged for attention.

2. Walking on the catwalk

Requirements:

Walking:

Keep your head up, chest up, abdomen in, and walk like no one else's watching, staring at others, not being slow, not being slow and steady. Swing your hips and hips, but don't move with your upper body, with your hands vertical, and swing back and forth gently, naturally.

Specific:

① Keep the upper body still, and practice the walking posture of the lower body-swing the crotch (key point) and walk in a straight line;

② The upper body and the lower body walk together to practice the method of swinging arms;

③ Practice the stopping method, turning footwork and standing posture when appearing;

④ Strengthen the overall training-different styles of music require different feelings; Match men and women to test the ability of on-the-spot reaction and tacit understanding;

⑤ The whole training will emphasize the integration with facial expressions

⑤The eyes are used in place, emitting the spirit of charm, as if the eyes are telling something all the time, so that the eyes can penetrate all the feelings.

Helen carefully arranged and wrote this diary, mainly to let the company's contracted MODEL and etiquette personnel benefit from it, lay a solid foundation for future training and performance, and increase personal theoretical knowledge. However, Helen has long taught theoretical knowledge to everyone, and the key is to rely on persistent and repeated practice to achieve the expected results.

Now, the following decomposition explanation is made according to the requirements of each part.

1. Feet:

The foothold should be moderate, and you can't completely land on your heels, nor can your heels and toes land at the same time, which looks quite awkward.

Beginners often make this mistake, so it's recommended to keep your heels forward.

when the heel reaches the toe, the other foot can't come out until the foot is completely stable.

Some people walk a little jerkily, and the main reason may be that the foot is in a hurry to climb up deliberately with the heel. Only when the front foot is stable can the back heel have the strength to climb forward, and move forward quickly with the center of gravity always on the front foot.

when walking, the body is pushed out, not walked out.

When moving, the toes always face the front of the body, because the feet are the extension lines of the legs, which can make the legs look slender and more attractive. The feet can't be retracted. Generally, the legs should not be bent, but should be stretched straight, otherwise they will look rickety.

2. Legs:

When walking, it is best to have a small gap between the legs, or even not to have a gap, which will be slender and straight. If the gap is too large, the center of gravity column of the thigh will be tilted to the left and right, which will sway from side to side, lacking the basic essentials of a man's stability.

when the foot is kicked out, it is the knee that is looking for music, that is to say, the knee is on the beat of the center of gravity, and the foot immediately lands.

Many people put the stress directly on their feet, which makes people feel strong in rhythm, but it is too stiff and lacks buffer! When kicking out, it is suggested to speed up and stay for a long time after kicking out. If you don't grasp the speed well, your feet will be light or shaky. Many beginners' feet are particularly light, mainly because you don't grasp the speed well when kicking out, and the hind foot is not stable when pedaling forward. We can wear heavier leather shoes or boots when training. My feet were also very light before, but later I tied sandbags to solve it.

If ordinary people and people who walk on the model steps come to you at the same speed, you will find that those who have learned the model can kick several times faster than ordinary people, but their stay will be very long. Of course, I don't advocate kicking as fast as possible, which looks unnatural.

3. Span:

Female models use span to find music, but male models just can't move span, which is sometimes a headache for male models. Most of the span is caused by kicking out the leg, and the leg force is not the same plane. It is also one of the reasons why it is easy to move span when you first come into contact with walking. Don't touch your knee with your thigh for knee friction.

find out more reasons, and don't be too hasty.

Actually, it is normal for male models to move across. As long as it is not obvious, moving a little will look better than not moving across.

4. Abdomen:

Don't forget to tuck in your abdomen when you walk, especially for female models. It is very indecent to show your belly.

When some male models walk, their heads and upper bodies are shaking as a whole, which is probably caused by the lack of abdomen or the soft waist.

It is recommended to practice your waist more.

5. Arm:

Swing arm can be said to be the most difficult to learn.

We often talk about using the big arm to drive the small arm, but few people can really swing the big arm. When you look in the mirror and see that the big arm is moving, you often think that the big arm is moving, which proves that the big arm is driving the small arm, but in fact, the small arm is driving the big arm or the shaft joint is exerting force.

Personally, I think that the big arm drives the small arm because the triceps brachii is exerting force, and it moves naturally to the back of the body.

the rear swing arm should be large and the front swing arm should be small.

the speed of the rear swing arm is slower than that of the front swing arm.

when swinging the front arm, neither the big arm nor the small arm can exert force, but it naturally bounces forward with the help of the rear arm.

When playing to the angle of your desired front swing arm, your wrist should be controlled to hit the stress.

Many people use their wrists to suddenly stop the stress, which is right, but not natural. Many people even use their small arms to press down hard instead of their wrists, and then swing their arms back.

The swing arm pursues nature and strength, so that people can see that it is comfortable and not awkward. Don't swing excessively for the sake of swing arm.

6. Shoulder:

Shoulder and arm are interrelated, and poor swing of arm will directly affect the effect of moving shoulder.

Many people mistakenly think that the moving shoulder is swinging the shoulder from side to side with the waist or using the big arm to end the shoulder, so that the moving shoulder will lose the original purpose of the shoulder and swing arm, or it can be said that it is unnecessary. I walked away from this misunderstanding at the beginning, but fortunately I found it in time and corrected it.

On the premise of keeping the waist straight, when walking, you should take the shoulder as the column. At the moment when the big arm naturally drives the small arm to throw back, the back muscle (the muscle that can form an inverted triangle opposite to the pectoral muscle) is pulled backward.

If the music is suitable and clear, if the moving shoulders are particularly large, it will give people a sense of chic, drag, hooliganism and lawlessness, which is what many fashions want.

for beginners, I personally don't recommend moving the big shoulders, because moving the big shoulders generally has the following disadvantages: (1) One shoulder is high and one shoulder is low (mostly the left shoulder is high and the right shoulder is low), and ten people will appear, but sometimes it is not obvious, sometimes it is not, and moving the shoulders today may not be as high as tomorrow; (2) If you can't move well, you will shake your shoulders around with your waist; (3) The front swing arm is not natural enough, and the arm will lift the shoulder image harshly; (4), not natural enough; (5) Asymmetry when walking on the left and right sides of the body; (6) There is always a shoulder hitting the stress; (7), it is obvious that the waist is shaking but always feels that the shoulders are moving, and so on.

If one shoulder is high and one shoulder is low now, you can try to hit the stress of music with both shoulders at the same time, face the mirror more often, and use your back to feel what is wrong. As long as the method is correct, it will be corrected in a day or two at most.

it's best to move your shoulders smaller or even not.

It doesn't necessarily mean that only moving your shoulders can make you look good. As long as you understand and ponder bit by bit, once you feel it, walking on the runway without moving your shoulders is sometimes quite beautiful and passionate, even much more beautiful than moving your shoulders.

(As long as you feel good and famous, one shoulder high and one shoulder low is also a kind of FAI)

7. Head:

Head shaking is mainly due to lack of concentration, and some are innate habits.

As long as you pay more attention to head shaking and head tilt when walking, you can still solve it by trying to correct it.

When walking, you must not move your mouth or close it too tightly. Just relax as usual. If there are some unnecessary movements, it will be very scary.

Generally, it is enough to blink your eyes two or three times when you walk from the backstage of the runway to the front desk. If you blink too much, it will be unstable, and it is even more undesirable for girls at the front desk to wink.

We should see confidence in our eyes. It is best to have content. The key is to express it with our eyes according to different music.

in many cases, your expression is bigger than your body language.

8. Rhythm:

Music consists of three parts: fast, medium and slow three. Boys only need to walk at medium speed, fast at medium speed and slow at medium speed.

Generally, it's ok for middle-speed music to follow the middle speed, but you can't step on every stress for fast and slow music, which is very awkward and ugly.

We can divide the slow-paced music into four, six or eight steps. Fast-paced music is divided into two beats: one half, one quarter or even one eighth.

There is a difference in speed between girls and boys. They can walk slowly, moderately and quickly.

On the premise that you have mastered this rhythm, you can also walk at your own speed with music. You can even move a piece of music at several speeds.

When the boy's left knee hits the stress beat, his right wrist and left shoulder also hit the stress. In fact, these three stresses are not enough.

If you want to walk well, you need to have a sense of rhythm all over your body under steady conditions, and let the music into your body to exude passion and vitality.

Whether boys or girls pass by you, you should feel the wind blowing.

9. Modeling:

Boys require that the distance between feet should not be greater than the shoulder width, and the center of gravity should be placed on two feet or off the other foot.

Make a secret effort with tight inside and loose outside. The posture you pose should be clear lines, clear turning points and strong strength, and you must show certain contents.

1. Turn around:

During the turn, the body and crotch should not be on the same plane. A little sideways can make the shoulders of the male model wider, the waist of the female model thinner and the hips more upturned.

11. Whole body:

Teachers often say:

Get up and get up, not that you get up soon, but that your body and music blend together, and you have a feeling of rushing forward.

Boys generally move less than girls when they walk on the stage, which requires boys to pay more attention to groping carefully. When they walk on the stage, they can look left and right, and the time allocation of watching is very important. It is necessary to avoid an average allocation of time between left and right, but to be dynamic. Five or five minutes is never as rhythmic as seven or seven minutes. Regardless of expressiveness and camera sense, you should know where the audience is. Always think of catching the audience's attention, which depends on the boys' understanding.

From the feet to the shoulders, to the hips and then to the head, there are eye movements, which add up to an organic whole, so we should pay attention when walking.

Let people look natural. Boys don't swing their arms for the sake of swinging their arms, and girls don't move their legs for the sake of moving their legs.

When walking, the arm naturally swings backwards to be integrated with the whole body form, and the limbs and eyes should show great.
