Q: how to practice control?
First of all, the skills of limbs, such as bending the elbow slightly when the arm is exerting force, so that the strength can be completely contained in the body, and keeping the standard of movements instead of straightening the arm and releasing the strength completely. Then there is muscle strengthening, which is relatively simple. It is through sit-ups, push-ups and other exercises to enhance the muscle strength and speed of arms, abdomen, waist and thighs. Finally, it is the aspect of comparing the soul level, that is, using body, mind and emotion through music or dance to express one's own understanding and thoughts and dance itself. It is entirely out of physical instinct to control the dance movements and the fusion of the artistic conception of the songs.
Q: how to practice breaking out?
For beginners, it really takes time to practice and strengthen the strength control. Generally speaking, you can increase the strength of your arms, abdomen and thighs through some physical training. Practice sit-ups, push-ups and weight-bearing squats for 11 to 15 minutes every day, and the number of times can be between 15 and 25. I believe you will feel the difference in a month. And we don't have to worry about getting thicker arms and legs, etc. We need to practice the "explosion point" instead of practicing ourselves as a "macho man" or a "macho woman." On the other hand, it is necessary to know where each movement needs to contribute. What everyone has to do is to apply what they have. Don't worry, there is always a process.
Q: I used to learn other styles, but can I learn jazz now?
In fact, no matter what your style is, don't confine yourself to your own study space. The more styles you contact, the better for yourself. You can clearly find your own style among many styles and integrate other styles to make your dance elements more diversified and dance knowledge more abundant. It's a good thing that will do no harm. So everyone can learn jazz dance with confidence.
Q: how to adjust the tension and strength?
personally, tension is more important between tension and strength. The greater the tension, the more the strength will be affected; On the contrary, the greater the strength, the weaker the tension will be. That's why I admire foreign dancers, and that's why I've been trying to change myself. Also, for China dancers, it is difficult to combine tension and strength at the same time. After all, their physical fitness is different from that of foreigners. Only keep practicing and practice. Strengthening muscle quality and improving limb control can also achieve the possibility of tension and strength at the same time.
Q: how can we strengthen the rhythm?
first of all, listen to more music, and listen to all kinds of music. For example, HIP-HOP and R& B, POP, Reggae, House, etc. Rhythm is first the brain's understanding of music, then the body's feeling of music, and finally the rhythm (the body moves with music). But in a word, we should practice more (there is no shortcut). Different styles should be studied and contacted. Let the body contact with different dance movements, so as to improve the flexibility and coordination of the body. Finally, there is emotional rhythm, and the final expression of dance is emotional expression. No matter what style, the body is driven by emotion and the mood is improved by the body! Therefore, while listening and jumping, I also practice my emotions or consciously practice my emotions and train my emotional control and rhythm.
Q: how to turn around steadily?
To turn steadily, you must practice standing on tiptoe, and choose a supporting leg that you think is relatively stable. In normal rest, let it stand up in a state of half-tiptoe, while the knee of the other leg bends and the inside of the tiptoe clings to the inside of the knee of the supporting foot. The upper body holds out the chest and abdomen, the shoulders relax and the chin is slightly raised. Keep this posture as long as possible, and practice your center of gravity and toe control. Turn around slowly and it will become handy! Support legs should be kept upright. There are also legs that bend and turn, but after we practice straight legs and master the center of gravity, we can't talk about any circles! Pay attention to "keep your head and shake your head" when you turn around!
Q: about the ligament problem?
the looseness of ligaments needs to be pressed every day. If you don't practice since childhood, you should leg press every day and kick your leg to loosen the ligament. If it leaks for a day, the softness of the ligament will go back. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this problem. Ligaments are actually secondary to dance. It's just to make your body stretch more thoroughly. Generally, just pull it, there is no need to make it look like the one in the class. So don't worry too much about this problem. The three elements of dance that individuals pay more attention to are "strength, control and emotion". And softness is only an auxiliary function.
Q: about the practice method of crossing?
1. Terrible tearing method: Be sure to warm up before crushing, and then under the guidance of a professional physique teacher, suddenly press the span to the maximum when you crush, and then you will hear a "crack". Cross and go down. But remember 2 o'clock, it must be when you want to warm up and get hot. Also, you must find a professional body teacher, a professional body instructor who opens the shoulders, bends down and spans to help you. And it takes a lot of perseverance to endure the sudden pain. 2. Gentle step-by-step method: Keep pressing the span every day, and increase the range a little each time and keep it for a certain time. The softness of the span will also change after a period of time. But it must be every day. If you want to be faster, it can be divided into three times a day in the morning, afternoon or evening. The first method is not recommended here. Because if the method is not correct and you are injured, the consequences will be very serious. So it is highly recommended!
Q: about the unstable center of gravity caused by moving too fast in dance?
The main reason is that the initiative of thigh muscles is not high, and the body control is not enough. The methods of practice are:
① basic ballet training squatting and standing on tiptoe.
② up down in HIP-HOP, practice knee relaxation to lower the center of gravity and strengthen
③ control the degree of body tightening during dancing to improve body initiative.
Q: about the center of gravity of tall students?
It is true that tall students are a little embarrassed in this respect, but it is still a problem that can be solved. There are several methods:
① Practice the updown in hiphop to practice your knees, because the relaxation of knees can help the center of gravity sink.
② Practice squat exercises in basic ballet training to strengthen the muscle control of your thighs and calves. Can help yourself to do a series of intense actions. For example: your own stability when you turn around, jump, move horizontally or vertically.
③ the tightening of "core strength". You can keep your body stable and compact all the time. Don't make yourself shake and stand unsteadily because of the inertia caused by the change of action!
Q: about the core strength used in dancing?
Every time we do sit-ups, our abdomen will contract when we get up, which is the core strength. When dancing, every breath we take will make our abdomen contract frequently, but many people don't pay attention to combining this contraction with the rhythm of dancing, so as to increase the movement strength and body tension. Every breathing point and rhythm point should be well coordinated, which can make the dance look more energetic and resilient! This habit should be developed slowly!
Q: how to use breathing in dancing?
breathing during dancing is a habit that is gradually formed. The method is simple. Just like we are doing sit-ups, you can feel the tightening of your abdomen every time you exhale when you get up. By the same token, the tension and explosive force of the action can be maximized by regularly loosening and tightening to match the strength of the limbs during dancing. We should develop this habit slowly in class to get the greatest improvement. Let the abdomen keep contracting, contracting, contracting! Just spit out the air where you exert yourself and match the strength of the limbs required by the action itself. When we are doing sit-ups, our abdominal muscles contract every time we get up, and that's when we inhale. In this way, breathing and muscle control echo each other. Dancing in the same way is the core interrupting power mentioned here. In addition to the coordination of breathing, there is also the function of letting the interruption be released and closed according to the rhythm of music, so that the dance movements on the limbs and the tension of the body will be maximized, and the restrained strength will be vividly expressed.
Q: about emotions in dancing?
The emotions expressed in thoughts and emotions through dance movements, in other words, are reflected by their own life experiences, love experiences and feelings between people.
Western culture and music, and oriental culture and music will not prevent us from devoting ourselves to it. Listening more or less will affect our physical dancing, and practicing enough or not will affect our emotional strength and weakness. Most students will hinder their physical exertion and emotional release because of their shyness when dancing. This is also related to China's ethics, customs and people's feelings for thousands of years. However, we still need to work hard and boldly to let go of ourselves to dance.
People whose actions are dead are alive, and everyone has his own temperament and style. After learning dance movements solidly, you can completely express yourself as you like, but the premise is still that you need to release yourself. Even when studying, you need to let go of yourself and avoid unnecessary thoughts, otherwise you can't dance with your heart, even the most basic steps can't be completed. The release of emotions has the most direct relationship with your personality. Extroversion and introversion determine how much your emotions are released. On the other hand, it is the accumulation and precipitation of life. Or reading some books, feeling of movies and so on. Don't think about how to get into emotions quickly, think about how to express emotions more. Everyone's conditions are different. The emotional intensity is different, but everyone has its own unique side. It doesn't matter more or less, what matters is that you can show it, at least you can infect yourself to infect others. Dance and life are still different, but they are also related. What may not be expressed in life can be done through dance, and what may not be done in dance can also be experienced through life, which in turn can be expressed through dance.
