2. Basic knowledge of ballet movements

Shoulder opening, hip opening, knee opening, toe opening posture, leg opening, upper body straight and upright, legs straight from toes, legs and arms The stretching constitutes the characteristic of ballet shape. These characteristics give people a naked, direct, elegant and solemn sense of beauty, showing the elegance, noble temperament and pursuit of human body shape beauty that are highly respected by European culture. A series of basic movements of ballet art, various dance postures, footwork, contracts and spinning techniques are all based on this aesthetic concept.

The entire ballet technique consists of 5 foot positions, 12 arm positions and 7 hand positions. Three basic dance postures? Arabesque, Attitude, and Ecarte. Leg techniques such as various Battements, including leg extension, shooting, opening, flexion, and extension. Leg lifts, kicks, etc., as well as the circular motion of the feet (Rond de jambe a terre), jumping movements of various amplitudes and various dance postures, various rotation and turning techniques, etc., various dance steps and connection movements, are all before practicing ballet What you need to know.

3. Full-contact ballet training

Ballet is mainly divided into basic training methods such as ground quality training, barre training, and off-barre training. If you are practicing for the first time, it is best to adopt a step-by-step approach. otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the desired results.

Sitting on the ground and doing the movement of hooking the instep is the movement you have to do for the first practice. Then you can do the movement of crossing your legs and pressing your hips, and then you can do the leg sucking exercise while lying on your back. Of course, lying on your side and sucking your legs, lying on your back and sucking your legs, waist training, and lying on your back with big kicks are also actions you need to practice.

This part of the training is mainly to exercise the softness, opening and strength of your movement system. It is an important part of dance training and one of the conditions that people who learn dance must possess. Only when these three points can be used freely can the range, lines and skills of human body movements be fully demonstrated, while at the same time it can enhance expressiveness and expand the performance field.

These movements can help you open shoulder and hip joint ligaments, strengthen waist flexibility, and enhance the elasticity and strength of leg and back muscles. Moreover, because the legs are sitting on the ground, the burden of supporting the body weight is reduced, and the ligaments in various parts can be fully stretched and lengthened. Ground training is more rewarding for non-dance majors, so be sure to start with ground training first.

Barre training refers to training performed by holding on to fixed objects during training. Common movements include wiping the floor, half squats, full squats, small kicks, and circular motions. Single-leg squats and leg kicks are also very important training movements, while thigh kicks and leg presses are what you often see in pictures, TV or movies.

When practicing, you need to hold on to the special railing of the training venue and kick one leg out. It can be lower at the beginning, and then gradually increase until the kick is above the head. The two legs should be practiced alternately. Do you still remember the super funny "Water Lotus"? Out of his persistent love for the heroine, the male protagonist went to a women's ballet school to participate in ballet training, which included many ballet training moves. If you want to take part in adult figure ballet, these exercises are essential.

The three movements of pressing the front leg, pressing the side leg, and pressing the back leg are very important to solve the softness of the legs, the opening of the hips and the ability to close the hips. When pressing your legs forward, sideways, or backwards, you should also start with a lower level of difficulty, otherwise you may strain ligaments and muscles, and waste more haste than haste.

The above set of barre training is a practice you should insist on every day if you want to maintain your ideal shape and have a noble temperament. Of course, these training movements are also the most basic exercises in ballet. They can make your spine, hips, ankles, and arms full of vitality, and cultivate your elegance and noble temperament.

After the above basic movement training is in place, it is time to start off-bar training. Compared with the above movements, off-bar training is a more difficult training. Because you will lose the help of fixed objects, but this also means the beginning of elegant dance training movements. These movements are divided into hand and foot training, such as wavy arm movements, circular movements of the feet, and the big kicks you have done before, but this time there is nothing to support you. Compared with the previous training, the added exercises include jumping exercises. Xiaotiao can also be divided into one-digit Xiaotiao, two-digit Xiaotiao and five-digit Xiaotiao. The middle jump is the subsequent training, which mainly focuses on jumping on the spot. It is divided into one-position middle jump, two-position middle jump, single up and double landing method and double up and single landing method. Finally there is the big jump. It is important to note that you should proceed step by step to achieve the desired results.

The above basic barre training is a small combination of arms, legs, bounces, etc. that are combined with dance postures. It can not only train the basic abilities of the body, but also adjust the basic posture of the body and enable it to Use it flexibly and freely in ballet.

The main purpose of the final finishing exercise is to adjust breathing and soothe the body, so it is also a training action that you should not ignore.

Ballet training mainly takes the four principles of "open, stretched, straight, and upright" as its aesthetics, making the five major joints of the shoulders, chest, hips, knees, and ankles open outward, focusing on the movements of the legs and feet. The purpose is to extend the original lines of the dancer's limbs to the maximum extent, expand the range and amplitude of movement, and improve the body's flexibility, coordination and balance during movement. Cultivating a noble and elegant temperament is also a goal that can be achieved by practicing ballet. In fact, such a noble temperament is also one of the most important reasons for the rise of ballet. Ballet Dressing Requirements

Ballet dances gracefully, and the dress has its own unique style, which reflects the unique and elegant figure of women. But I need to remind you that practice clothes are not just for beauty, every piece of equipment has its own clear function. But in Europe, it is traditional for girls to wear black tights and pink tights.

In terms of color, there are no special requirements for adult body ballet clothing. Since excessively long hair will affect your vision during ballet practice, a bun is a more practical hairstyle. This hairstyle can also make the lines of the head and neck elegant and clear.

Ballet-specific soft shoes are the most special item of clothing. Generally speaking, practice shoes are usually made of soft, thin leather or canvas. Girls usually wear pink, while boys usually wear black or white. Shoes must fit properly, otherwise it will affect your practice
