Introduction of Dance Types-Tango

Tango basic dance steps practice

Tango is usually in 4/4 time. You can run two slow steps or four quick steps in each section. Under special circumstances, there are also parallel or locked changes in one beat and two steps.

1. Constant step and double step (Figure 1- Figure 4. S.S.QQ)

Constant step is the basic dance step of tango. According to different needs, you can use only one step or two steps in succession, but you can't use three steps in succession. The rhythm form is S. Lian Bu is a commonly used connecting dance step, which has two forms: from C, P to P, P, which is called double step; The development process from p and p to c and p is called fit step. Rhythm forms are q, q and sometimes s.

The starting position of tango is only L, 0 and D. Because of the relationship between C, B, M and P, the walking direction is actually towards the inclined wall. But this development is not linear, but extends in the direction of L, 0 and D in an arc.

Figure 1, s, men move to the left and women move to the right. There is a strong sideways and c, b, m, p.

Figure 2. S: Men move to the right and women move to the left. Male right shoulder rail, female left shoulder rail. It enhances the sense of lateral movement and makes the motion track develop in an arc shape.

Figure 3. Q Men go left and women go right. There is a strong sideways movement and the reaction force on the right side of the body develops rapidly when C, B, M and P use sideways movement to reach the extreme in the next step.

Figure 4. Turn right moderately on both sides. Men quickly change the direction of their right foot, while women change the direction of their left foot in the process of lateral movement, forming P and P in the face wall position (that is, from split position to open position).

There are four points for attention in this dance step:

(1) rhythm. Q, Q in two places at a time cannot be regarded as an average rhythm, but should be concentrated in one beat. Make the remaining beats pause modeling time. So, in this case, put a horizontal line under the abbreviation.

(q, q) to show the difference.

(2) Modeling. The split position (P, P) of tango is only reflected in the V-shaped change of the horizontal line of the shoulder and the direction of the head, and it must remain close to the waist. This is very important. incision

You can't open your waist and hips together to form the wrong shape. The correct knee orientation is relative to men and women, so there is a feeling of buttoning the knee. Point her toes, using the inside of the big toe, not the whole big toe or forefoot.

(3) center of gravity. Both feet can't be evenly supported, and they shouldn't be supported on one foot. The best way is to open your toes in three directions to bear a little weight, which will

Conducive to the formation of incorrect feelings, avoiding the body's center of gravity leaning back and sitting back.

Figure 5- Figure 8 Turn left 90 and step (->; )

Figure 9- Figure 14 Progress before turning left (-> )

Figure 15- Figure 20 Torsion (

(4) feeling. We should have the motivation to move forward in the direction of viewpoint, and have the feeling of putting female partners under the protection of male partners; Never form a situation of avoiding the heavy and avoiding the light.

2. Turn left 90 degrees sideways and step (Figure 5- Figure 8. S、Q、Q、S)

The lateral stroke is synchronized on P and P. Pay special attention to that the toes can't point to the forward direction. The operation in the second step should not only keep the requirements of C, B, M and P, but also follow the procedure and position of putting men before women.

Figure 5. S male, left female and right forward at the same time.

Figure 6. Q the development of left depth c, b, m and p in male and female. Pay attention to the procedure of men first and women later when crossing the legs, and do not crowd at the same time. Turn left after landing.

Figure 7. Q turn left 90 degrees. In directions L, 0 and D, men turn left and women turn right. Forms c and p.

Figure 8, S male right, female left. Pay attention to the dislocation of the feet and the recovery of the female partner's head position. In addition, in practice, you should learn to shift your center of gravity to your feet quickly and without showing traces, so as to run in the next step.

3. Make progress first and then turn left (Figure 9 ~ Figure 14. Q、Q、S、Q、Q)

Figure 9. Q The male moves to the left and the female moves to the right, with a sideways position.

Figure 10, q male horizontal right, female horizontal left, right development (o, p)

Figure 1 1, male s goes backward to the left, female s goes forward to the right, and the depth c, b, m and p are transformed into 0, p ... It is completed in three steps 135 degrees and turned left to 180 degrees).

Figure 12, q male retreats to the right, female moves to the left, with sideways.

Figure 13, q, male horizontal left, female horizontal right, forming c and p.

Figure 14 is synchronized with S, and the requirements are the same as before. The last three steps are 90 degrees to 225 degrees, and the rotation of this dance step can be adjusted by itself. Rotation angle completed in six steps. From 270 degrees to 405 degrees. Beginners had better walk 360 degrees.

4. Twist (Figure 15 ~ Figure 20. S、Q、Q、Q、Q、S]

Torsion is a rotational change of the center of gravity of the foot. Generally, the male partner twists his feet and rotates in the lock cross, and the female partner rotates around the axis under the guidance of the male partner. Therefore, the changes of footwork movements between men and women are asymmetric. Let's start with p and p.

Figure 15, walk slowly on the s side.

Figure 16, Q is at the depth of C, B, M and P, the male enters the right side, the female enters the left side, and the male partner starts to turn right in the second half beat.

Figure17: After turning right 90 degrees, Q man moves his left foot laterally, forming a blocking posture in the forward route of his female companion. Under the guidance, the female partner also turns right 90 degrees to form C and B, and goes straight into the right foot between the male partner's feet.

Figure 18, Q Male companion's right foot depth C, B, M, P is crossed backwards, the forefoot is on the ground, and the feet are supported. The female companion enters with her left foot under the guidance of her male companion, and leads O and P on her left shoulder.

Figure 19, Q male partner rolls with his left foot and right palm, and turns right 180 degrees. The female companion's right foot moves obliquely around the male companion and turns right 135 degrees.

Figure 20. S The male companion's heel falls off, and the female companion falls to the ground with her left foot. At the same time, she walks close to the side and continues to turn right for 45 degrees. Her right foot leans against the male companion's left foot to form an open P, P, which can range from 270 degrees to 360 degrees. Here is a 270-degree method.

Dance practice of tango self-entertainment dance

There are many kinds and genres of tango, and this kind of self-entertainment dance can't limit the style. In order to improve the standard dance in China, I will follow the principle of "self-entertaining dance is close to standard dance" and will not start a new stove. In addition to the above-mentioned basic dance steps, this paper introduces several relatively simple and easy-to-learn changes for tango lovers who entertain themselves.

1. Go straight ahead and turn left.

180 degrees open 0, p then turn back and turn left 90 degrees step by step (s, s, q, q, s, q, s). This is a change formed by two continuous steps and progress before turning left (270 degrees). Start with surfaces l, 0 and d and end with surface wall. Now that I have learned the dance steps, I don't use diagrams anymore. Tips for only exercise programs are as follows:

Men go left and women go right.

Men go right, women go left.

Q Men go left and women go right. Start turning left.

Q male horizontal right, female horizontal left.

Men retreat to the left and women enter to the right. To 0, p is complete 180 degrees.

Men retreat to the right and women enter from the left. Start turning left.

Q male horizontal left, female horizontal right. Complete 90 degrees to c and p.

Male and right, female and left.

2. Changes of lateral synchronization (S, Q, Q, S)

There are many forms of this change, which is the deformation and development of the second structure in the basic dance practice-turning sideways 90 degrees and stepping at the same time. It is mainly used for direction adjustment and necessary interspersed arrangement in sports route design. In the self-entertainment jumping method, it is a relatively fixed rhythm change form. There are three changes here. Because the basic dance steps

The state has been learned, and no more examples are given.

(1) The lateral line moves in parallel (starting from P and P)

A man walks to the left. Female goes to the right.

Q Men turn right, women turn left. It develops to depths c, b, m and p (see figs. 5 and 6).

Q male horizontal left, female horizontal right. Go straight. Change it to c and p.

Male and right, female and left.

(2) Step back and follow the diagonal (starting from C and P)

S men retreat left, women enter right, shoulder lead.

Men retreat to the right and women enter from the left. Develop in the direction of c, b, m and p.

Q male horizontal left, female horizontal right. Body position and direction remain unchanged.

Male and right, female and left.

(3) Turn back and turn left 90 degrees (starting from 0 and P)

Men retreat to the left and women enter to the right. Shoulder step guidance.

Men retreat to the right and women enter from the left. Go to C, B, M, P, and then turn left.

Q turns left at 90 degrees, men turn left and women turn right.

Is it male or right? A female head and a left head (see Figures 7 and 8).

These changes can be combined at will in the self-entertainment jump, not necessarily in the above order. Because the rhythm is relatively fixed, improvisation is not a problem:

3. Shake step (Figure 2 1 ~ Figure 23). c、B、M、P)

The structure of this dance step is that the first two steps are regular and the last three steps are shaking. The shaking is carried out in the open air.

Men go left and women go right. And sideways and c, b, m, p.

Men go right, women go left. Stable in the open position.

Figure 2 1. Q man put down his left heel, raised his right palm, and moved his center of gravity back; The woman put down her right paw, raised her left heel and moved her center of gravity forward. To keep the upper body stable, we must be the first.

The second shake.

Figure 22. Q swings back. Refer to the text above. Gay men walk with women and lesbians walk with women.

In fig. 23, S swings backwards again, which is the same as in fig. 2 1.

Figure 2 1- Figure 23 Shake step (->; )

The point of this dance step is to shake while keeping your body stable. Common mistakes are upper body pitching or crotch swinging. Corrective methods to strengthen ankle strength; Stop the flexion and extension of the knee joint and the local movement of the waist and hip, and pursue the whole swing.

There are many downward variations. Here are two simple ways to entertain yourself.

Then change.

(1) Backward convergence change-turn left 90 degrees.

Men retreat to the right and women enter from the left. And sideways and c, b, m, p.

Q male horizontal left, female horizontal right, turn left 90 degrees.

Male and right, female and left.

(2) The convergence change of forward development-step by step.

This change must be repeated three times. At a slow pace, the man moved forward and brushed his foot against the supporting foot. The woman moved backwards and her right foot grazed the supporting foot. Step by step to the two places.

In the standard jump method, there is no end to the change. However, the commonly used cohesion change is still backward locking sliding, which is completed in the rhythm form of Q,&,Q, S, Q and Q.

4. Flexible use of step by step (Q, Q or S)

A double step doesn't have to be connected with two regular steps. Just like the cohesive change above, it can be used in any case. Even in the synchronous state, you can connect directly, but you need more skilled skills.

As long as the two sides cooperate tacitly and keep the direction of sports development sober, insert two steps into the dance steps from time to time; It can increase the interest of directional mutation and the stimulation of changeable rhythm.

Generally speaking, it is enough to master the changes in the above steps and entertain yourself. If you want to further improve, please learn the following standard changes. Dance practice of tango standard dance

1. Step by step transverse connection and sliding separation.

(Figure 24 to Figure 30. S, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q. Starting from L, 0 and D, the position of the wall is P, P)

Take a step forward slowly on the S plane. Men left and women right.

Take a quick step forward at the q end. Men's right and women's left.

Fig. 24, Q turns 45 degrees to the right, the male crosses to the left and the female crosses to the right, developing in the direction of 0 and P.

Figure 25. Q moves backwards on 0 and p, men move to the right and women move to the left. Stop at 45 degrees to the right

Fig. 26, q In the law of continuing to turn right, the male retreats to the left and the female advances to the right, and continues to complete a 90-degree right turn.

Figure 27. Q is located in the center of the face, male horizontal right, female horizontal left. This step only takes 1/2 time.

Figure 28. & 1/2, male left and female right.

Figure 29, q continues: male horizontal right, female horizontal left.

Figure 30 Q, q and c, b, m, p in the sideways, the male goes to the left and the female goes back to the right. Then complete the avatar according to the position required below.

The final openings p and p can be in the direction of face wall, inclined wall or face L, O and D, that is, line B. ..

2. Side-by-side and back-to-back rotary matching steps.

(Figure 3 1 ~ Figure 36. S, Q, Q, S, Q, Q, S, S. Starting from the syncline wall, facing the wall position P, P)

S-side goes forward, male left, female right together.

Q: Take one step forward, with men right and women left.

Fig. 3 1, q male goes to the left and female goes to the right. The male partner turns right to form a blocking situation. With the termination of the forward inertia force, under the influence of the right-handed law, it turns to the backward trend of retrograde.

Figure 32. Men move to the right and women move to the left. When the center of gravity shifts to the front palm, men turn left and women turn right slightly, forming P and P retreat.

Figure 33. Q In the process of merging and retreating, men retreat to the left and women retreat to the right.

Figure 34. Q male retreats to the right and closes his left foot in the brush position; The woman retreats to the left. In the process of shifting the center of gravity, the left foot rotates 180 degrees to form O and P, and the right foot shrinks to the position of the brush.

Figure 35. Men retreat to the left and women advance to the right. Under the guidance of the male partner, the female partner completes the right rotation of 180 degrees in the right movement, and her left foot falls forward in the backward rotation posture. The male partner should pay attention to leaving his right foot in the forward position, and when the female partner basically completes the right turn, he should guide it slightly to the left for 45 degrees to form P and P.

Figure 36, S This step is a fitting step. It is a connecting step from P and P to C and P, and it should be shifted to the left by 45 degrees at the landing point where men enter right and women enter left.

Sexual development. Under the guidance of the male partner, the female partner rotates 180 degrees to the left and moves to the front of the male partner. At this time, the male left foot and the female right foot should be kept in the brush position.

Figure 24- Figure 30 Side-by-side Step Parallel Slip (

Figure 3 1- Figure 36

Side by side and back-to-back rotating assembly steps (->; )

Figure 37- Figure 40 Four Steps (

Figure 4 1- Figure 45 Side-by-side combination opens the left-turn double-inclined avatar step by step (-> )

Step 3 run four times

(Figure 37 ~ Figure 240. Q, q, q, q surface wall brush C type, P direction reverse L, D is instantaneous motion)

This change, also known as four-step transposition, is an unexpected reverse instantaneous movement. In rhythm processing, we should pursue an additional change. That is, the first and third Q's are processed into half beats, while the other two Q's become one half beat. Because it is fast, it is difficult. In the hierarchy, it belongs to the silver dance step,

Figure 37. Men enter from the left and women retreat from the right. There are depths c, b, m, p and lateral movement.

Figure 38, Q male horizontal right, female horizontal left. Turn left slightly, heading for o and p.

Figure 39. On o and p, men retreat to the left and women enter the right. There are depths c, b, m and p.

Figure 40. Men retreat to the right, while love women crosses on the left. Form an open p, p.

4. Side-to-side bonding, step-by-step connection, open left turn and heavy tilt.

(Figure 4 1 ~ Figure 45. S, q, q, q, q, s, s wall open p.p. Run to l, 0, d).

S-side goes forward, male left, female right together.

Q, q in the first q, the same action as in fig. 36 is completed. Make brushes c and p form in the direction of faces l, o and d, and leave the second q in place.

Figure 4 1, q male into the left. Love women, retreat to the right. At the same time, it began to rotate rapidly to the left. Male, open one foot back and forth. Women turn their feet together with their heels.

Figure 42. Q After completing the left rotation of 270 degrees, the left foot of the man and the right woman landed. Male partners should project their views obliquely to the right, while the center of gravity and flow of the body develop to the left of men and the right of women.

Figure 43. S: Male horizontal left, female horizontal right: Both sides throw their views to the male left front at the same time, forming an open big dance style of P and P, paying attention to the position of knees and the connection of toes. And we are looking for an inner sense of strength with our backs to our shoulders.

Fig. 44, S keeps his feet open and forms a heavy tilt under the guidance of his male partner.

Fig. 45 S: the male crosses right, the female crosses left, and takes a step back. Form an open doppelganger in the form of p and p.

So much for the standard change. All of the above are the changes in the regulations officially promulgated by the Royal Association of Dance Teachers. Here is a typical example of creative development, which is a recognized development and change. You can learn the general rules of ballroom dancing, thus laying a good foundation for your innovative activities.

5. Side-by-side cooperation Rotate the doppelganger to the left and front step by step according to the progress of Vienna Waltz.

(S, Q, Q, Q & ampQ, Q & ampQ, Q & ampq, QQ. The wall is opened from P and P and transported to L, O and D)

One end of this change has been learned before. S, q, q are transverse fitting steps, and 0, q are double steps. The middle three zeros,&and zeros have actually been learned. It is a step forward for the left rotation in the fast waltz standard jump. It just changes the rhythm of three beats into the form of two beats. If you

Being able to demonstrate this dance step without referring to the relevant diagrams shows that you have started to enter a considerable level. Try it, my friend. I wish you success!
