Samba Samba or Samba is called "national dance" in Brazil. In Latin America, the largest country, samba dance is popular. There is a saying that people, regardless of gender, age and age, usually dance, especially on holidays; Jump on the stage, jump on the street; Dance during the day and dance at night. Whenever exciting music plays, people are always passionate, and they can't help but twist their legs and waist, jump up and get intoxicated. Samba originated in Africa. The word "samba" is said to have evolved from the word "samba" of Kimbandu, the second largest Angolan tribe in Africa. "Samba" is a passionate belly dance. As the name implies, this dance is characterized by shaking the abdomen and buttocks up and down. This is the most popular dance sport in Angola, and later it began to spread abroad with the rise of slave trade. From the 1930s of 16 to the middle of 19 for more than 300 years, Portuguese colonists sold120,000 slaves from Angola and other parts of Africa to Brazil. When the slaves were loaded into the cabin and transported to the newly discovered Latin American continent, the white slave traders worried that the journey was long, and the slaves would stay in the cabin for dozens of days and could not be sold after landing. So, every day, they drove the slaves crowded in the cabin to the deck, accompanied by beating barrels and iron pots, and let them dance a samba to exercise their muscles. In this way, the colonists who wanted to enhance the competitiveness of this special commodity inadvertently brought this dance popular in Africa to Latin America. According to research, samba was first popular in El Salvador, the capital of Bahia, Brazil. This is where the Portuguese first landed and colonized in Brazil. They have a large number of plantations and mining areas here. Black slaves who were trafficked to plantations and mining areas enjoyed this kind of hometown dance after heavy work. In the following centuries, black slaves from Africa and their descendants increased their contact with whites from all over Europe and gradually merged with indigenous Indians. In this way, their dance gradually absorbed some factors of Bohemian Polka dance from Europe, Habanera dance from Cuba and Maxisher dance popular in Brazil, and gradually formed modern samba dance. According to records, in the early 20th century, it was women in Bahia who brought this dance to Rio de Janeiro, then the capital of Brazil. From then on, this dance began to flow from the coast to the mainland, from slums to the upper class, and from black and black and white "villages" to whites. At the same time, the instruments that have been mainly accompanied by Spanish six-string guitar and Creary's ukulele are gradually being replaced by the bronze drums, gongs and cymbals in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Such as percussion instruments. 1928, the first samba school in Brazil was established in Rio de Janeiro. 1932, Brazil held the first Valentine's Day samba parade to watch the competition, which was welcomed and praised by people. Since then, modern samba dance has quickly swept the whole country of Brazil. Samba dance is a kind of collective social dance, with dozens and tens of thousands of participants. This dance is accompanied by percussion music, such as drums and gongs. The steps of this dance are very simple. Your feet move back and forth, your body leans and swings back and forth. Male and female dancers dance in pairs or around the ballroom, or they can dance their own steps separately. Male dancers like all kinds of dexterous movements under their feet, and their feet move or rotate quickly. Female dancers mainly shake their upper body and twist their abdomen and buttocks. Samba dance can be performed in dance halls and on the stage, but more often it is performed in open squares and streets. Dancers form a circle or double line, singing and dancing. Dancers are wild and uninhibited, with big movements and strong sense of rhythm, giving people a feeling of passion. Drum, bronze drum, tambourine and other percussion instruments are played at the same time, with high-pitched agitation and rolling sound, which sets off a tense and fiery atmosphere. At the climax of this atmosphere, the music often comes to an abrupt end, and the difficult dance movements suddenly condense into a sculpture-like static state. The instantaneous change of movement and the amazing harmony of ups and downs create a unique sense of surprise and shocking beauty. It is the gorgeous costumes of the actors that add luster to samba dance. Actors and actresses are all dressed in colorful clothes. Actors wear boots, vests like ancient European knights, or robes like African chiefs. The actress's clothes are more exquisite. They either wear long dresses with gorgeous patterns, or just hang a "three-point" that is as small as it can be, almost naked, even completely naked in the chest, with only a little color painted on their nipples. Their headdresses are more chic, or they wear gorgeous crowns, colorful bird feathers, or a flaming feather. Colorful clothes are also decorated with colorful pearls and jade. Whenever the dance music rings, modern lights shine, costumes flutter with the dance steps, pearls and jade accompany them, and the lights flow, like clouds of flames flashing and meteors flying, forming a dreamlike world. Being in it makes people ecstatic and their souls soar. Brazilian samba can be divided into two categories: ① Popular samba: dance movements are improvised by dancers with rhythm. Female dancers are mainly small and dexterous hip-twisting movements, while male dancers often show their dancing skills with various dexterous movements under their feet besides hip-twisting movements. When performing, you can dance in a circle, or you can invite a man and a woman to perform in a circle, while others are still dancing in the same place. You can also lead the way alone, others line up in the back, future generations hold the waist of predecessors, and everyone twists their hips in various formations. (2) Performing samba: The hip twisting movements of female dancers are combined with great changes in modeling and footwork, and at the same time, various formations are created according to the number of dancers, while male dancers are beating and jumping with various percussion instruments. Samba, the basic dance step of samba, originated in Brazil and is a folk dance. There are many kinds of samba dances from banana to Marka in the local carnival. In order to show the characteristics of samba dance, dancers must perform cheerfully, emotionally and passionately. Samba has a unique rhythm, among which it is famous for its musical instruments with Brazilian characteristics. At present, a project called Latin calisthenics has sprung up in many gymnasiums. This sport is not a simple Latin dance, but a combination of various Latin elements. After simplification and exercise, a complete concept of sports has been formed. For example, samba, cha-cha and mambo are widely used in this course, so that everyone can enjoy physical and mental pleasure in passionate music at the same time. Action decomposition: left and right scanning steps. 1. Step on the left side with your left foot, draw the hip joint from right to left, open and straighten your left hand, and draw an arc elbow from the face side with your right hand. 2. When the right foot touches the ground, the buttocks are put down, the right hand swings backwards to open and straighten, and the left hand draws an arc elbow from the face side. 3. Opposite to 1. 4. In the opposite direction to 2. If you can't wait to get ready, you can experience the different feelings that Latin dance brings to your body. What does samba's bounce mean? Samba originated in Brazil, and carnival dance has the characteristics of pressing knees and straightening. Bounce because of pelvic contraction or body depression. It's called "jumping action", and it's not really jumping up and down. How is the bounce formed? Press your knees down with 1/2, and then straighten your knees with 1/2. We divide a beat into two parts-1 &,1stands for the first half beat,&is the second half beat. The problem is: bend your knees at 1, and at the same time, during the & beat. Or something else, it is more logical for me to bend my knees and straighten my knees when I step on 1 at this stage. Compare the contents of IDTA and ISTD word for word. IDTA (Laird): If bounce and rhythm are combined with the moving speed of feet, the rhythm "&; 1。 a2 & amp； 1。 2 inches. Straightening the knee is done in the next 1/4 beat 1. In other words, if we straighten our knees on the beat, then we will definitely do knee compression on the beat of 1. ISTD: (new ISTD samba manual): Normal bouncing is the characteristic of samba dance. To put it simply, the first beat at 1/2 is slightly straight, and the second beat at 1/2 is slightly curved, that is, when the beat is several 1, the beat is straightened first and then compressed. I'm afraid reading the materials quoted above will cause confusion in readers' thinking. For a professional coach, they all know what it is, so they seem to pay little attention to what is written in the books, so they will not be bothered by the contents in these books. Many people say, "Put the book aside! It seems difficult for me. Sorry about this. I just hope you can clarify what chaos is. Are we using two different technologies, or am I mistaken? They mean the same thing. Who knows? Description: We all know that samba bounce does not refer to bopping up or bopping down, but samba bounce created by samba dance, which is formed by the contraction force generated by pelvic contraction and knee extension. Please study the basis of samba: what is pelvic contraction and retraction? All its beat per minute methods are based on "1 a 2" The book written by Mr. Walter Laird has a precise and clear description of samba's bounce, and its illustrations are very helpful for further understanding, even though the basic steps of Reverse Basic are common in the United States. We should still be faithful to the specifications described in the book and use the calculation method of "1 a 2" to do the basic actions of nature. The fast-paced samba dance in international standard dance competitions usually brings considerable excitement to the competition, and its focus should be on good body balance and the correct distribution and application between fixed-point dance steps and zigzag moving dance steps. Generally speaking, samba is a progressive dynamic dance. The action should be like "carnival parade", and the fixed-point dance should interact with the audience. The improved international standard Latin samba dance is different from the original Brazilian samba dance, which brings people into a carnival state, but still retains the characteristics and vitality of "carnival parade". For competitors, a highly flexible body is the first, and for such a body with a strong sense of rhythm, the arm plays an important role in balance. Advanced dancers will correctly use their body weight and gravity to produce a "heavy" center of gravity. Players should pay attention to moderate muscle relaxation and center of gravity, physical and psychological tension can not perform lively and enthusiastic samba well. Basic concept dance style: lively and strong joyful atmosphere. Dance style: gradual movement, fixed point, twists and turns, parade and interlocking. Time: 2/4 time. Minute/bar: 52 ~ 54 bars. Stress: On the second beat. Lifting mode: produces the bouncing action of samba. Action characteristics: heavy center of gravity, instantaneous movement between two points, high flexibility. The unique foot bounce of samba dance is produced by the knee and ankle of the center of gravity bending and straightening each other. The time of each flexion and extension is l/2 beat, and the flexion angle varies with the different dance steps, sometimes "slightly" and sometimes "not". Another difficult movement is oblique stabbing of pelvis and buttocks. Without these two movements, samba is difficult to show. The movements of samba must reflect a cheerful atmosphere, and the partners are surrounded by each other like a parade, and interact with the audience when moving or dancing at a fixed point.
