Usually, the most difficult thing for us to dance HIP-HOP is feeling. So how can we practice this feeling?
Step 1: First of all, you must love HIP-HOP several times more than others.
Step 2: Go to a nearby music studio or video store and buy a CD or tape of hip-hop dance music.
Step 3: Choose the best bass around you (in order to practice your sense of music better).
Step 4: Choose the music that makes your heart beat the most from the bought CDs.
Step 5: Turn up the music as much as possible and follow the music! Big! Practice the shoulders first (let the shoulders only shake up and down); You will feel bored at first, but when dancing HIP-HOP, the shoulder is the most important feeling part.
Step 6: Continue the previous step and practice the up-and-down elasticity of legs and knees.
Step 7: Practice the left and right legs backward step by step with the music, and also practice the forward movement.
Step 8: Practice the flexibility of hand joints (from fingertips to shoulders like waves, both hands should practice).
Step 9: Practice your toes. Follow the music and practice walking with only your toes. Bounce back and forth, left and right with your toes. In this way, your feelings will also go up a storey still higher. When practicing this step, you must be careful not to let all your feet touch the ground.
Step 10: Combine all the above steps and shake your whole body at will, so that your hip-hop has a foundation.
Usually you'd better prepare a bigger mirror from the beginning, and it's better to practice in front of it. When you start, you will feel bored and tired. Because street dance is not a vigorous dance, but it is as tiring as vigorous dance, so we must have perseverance and keep practicing. Some people may feel nothing in practice, but don't think you have no talent. Many famous dancers were born suddenly while walking or inadvertently. So you can also become a spokesperson for hip-hop through practice.
Sometimes when you dance. Whether it's dancing Or any kind of dance. I thought of a metaphor yesterday. I think it's not bad. It fits. Ha ha.
Dancing is like cooking soup (because I am learning to cook recently, haha). Dancing is like soup. POPPIN should be seafood soup. The lock is corn soup ... and so on. You know it's seafood soup when you see seafood in the soup. You know it's corn soup when you see corn in the soup. Just like different dance types. But whatever soup you want to cook, there is a * *.
You don't add water. No one knows it's soup ~ and it can't be made into soup at all ~
What about water? This is what we call "feeling great". I feel that water is the basis of cooking soup.
Any kind of dance is like cooking soup. You must add your own feelings first, just like adding water. If you only have POPPIN, it's like having seafood. You have learned the skill and the shock. But you don't have Growin. You can't feel it. You forgot to add water. How do you make soup? If you keep thinking about seafood instead of water, you will never make seafood soup ~ ~
Of course, soup can be made as long as it is liquid, but for convenience, I use "water" as an analogy.
Let me tell a story about jen ~ ~
One day, a man named Ahua brought out a bowl with nothing but seafood, and then told everyone that it was seafood soup for everyone to enjoy! ! ! Everyone said: How can this be seafood soup? There is no soup at all. There is no soup at all. How to taste it? Then Ahua said: Strange, isn't this seafood soup? I thought seafood soup was like this ~ ~ I deliberately learned to make seafood better ~ ~
Everyone kept telling him: seafood is delicious. But you want to make soup! You need to replenish water! Why don't you add water to the soup? No matter how delicious seafood is, it's useless! Don't forget to make seafood soup! ! ! Jen still didn't understand it later. He still doesn't understand why it's not seafood soup. He still can't catch the key. Finally, he said something. .....
"ah! ! Just be happy! I am the most important. "
I believe that from the history of street dance, we can see the style source of street dance: from the poor life and the most primitive expression of people's feelings. If you have seen the documentaries of indigenous peoples in Africa or South America, you will find that their dances and street dances are quite similar in style and manner: stepping on drums and jumping around the fire. ...
As the most primitive and direct expression of human emotions, dance can be said that everyone can dance. As long as we can pull the strings in our hearts, we can dance. So street dance, as the most primitive dance, is hidden in our bodies. I have met many people, and once I start street dancing, my dancing skills will advance by leaps and bounds, which is why. Nevertheless, why do many people find street dance so difficult?
Myth 1: I am afraid of making a fool of myself and dare not jump; This is the first level for beginners. There is nothing beautiful or ugly about street dance. As long as it is from the heart and the language of the body, there is nothing ugly. Believe in yourself and be more confident.
Myth 2: Just acting, not music; Taboo! ! When practicing, you must follow the music, don't imitate the movements deliberately, listen to the music with 80% of your energy, and leave the rest to your body, provided that your body is familiar with the rhythm of the music. Listen to music, pay attention to your body's feelings, and let your body remember music.
Myth 3: Close your eyes and practice blindly, and don't look in the mirror; I don't know what my movements are like, how do I know how to improve? Looking at every movement from different directions, I don't think it looks good. Why should I consider it? How to improve it to look good? There must be a mirror!
Myth 4: only pursue technology, not feeling; This is an easy mistake to make after practicing to a certain stage. In order to compare the difficult movements, the core feeling and rhythm of street dance are lost; Breaking the power movement is an extreme. I'll talk about this later.
Myth 5: disco and hiphop； are confused; Most people who go to disco. At that time, if they were used to disco dancing, dancing would be neither fish nor fowl. Disco is twisting the waist and hips, and hiphop needs to move all over.
Myth 6: if you learn, you will forget; Dancing requires crazy practice.
How to practice Thomas and windmill?
1. windmill
First, put your left hand on the left side of your navel, and your feet are Zhang Kaicheng-shaped. Then, lift your left foot and sweep diagonally downward. At the same time, let go of your left hand and let your body land in the order from arm to back (the landing point of your body is in the upper half of your back). If the landing point is too low, the windmill won't turn, and you will fall, so raise your waist when you go down. When your body is completely fine, be sure to prop up your body with your hands and enter the original starting mode (but try not to touch the ground), and then practice the windmill according to the same steps.
Common problems in windmill training;
1: I often fall down at the start: it's because my waist didn't rise at the start and the landing place was too low.
Your feet will touch the floor when you circle again: that's because your waist is not raised, and then when you circle again, your body must turn half a circle to connect.
Windmills should pay attention to:
1: Raise your waist.
2. When you set off, sweep your feet hard.
3. Let go of the starting hand at an appropriate time.
When turning the windmill, remember that your feet must be open and not closed.
Thomas
The feet are spread out, and then the left hand is extended to support the ground. The left foot vigorously sweeps towards the heel of the right foot, and the right foot kicks high towards the head. At the same time, the left foot must also be kicked high in the direction of the head, so that both hands support the ground, both feet are airborne, and the waist is straight forward. Then the left foot continues to stay in the air, the right foot obliquely pulls back to the original starting direction of the right foot, and the left hand is far away from the ground, leaving only the right hand to support the whole body.
Practice Thomas's main points
1. Arm strength, foot sweeping strength and waist strength should be large enough.
2. Feet should also be round.
3. Take the time to change hands.
Thomas's pre-school preparation:
1, learn to sweep your legs back and forth (that is, your feet can draw a circle on the floor), which can not be ignored, because the following actions will be used.
2. Have arm strength (that is, triceps brachii, the exercise method can be to support your hands with your body facing the ceiling, and then do push-ups with your hands, so that you can increase your arm strength after many days of hard training). Thomas's action decomposition: (taking right foot kicking as an example)
(1) After standing, cross your right foot backwards (with a good span) and then support the ground with your right hand.
(2) The next point is very important. It can be said that Thomas' success depends on this step. The next action is kicking, which will use the previous leg sweeping exercise. At this point, the right foot draws an arc along the left direction. When the right foot is in line with the body, the right foot kicks the heel of the left foot. For beginners, don't kick too hard to avoid falling. When you are proficient in this movement, you can increase your strength. At this time, the greater the strength, the better, because it can extend the time for your legs to fly. In addition, when kicking, keep your hips as low as possible, which will help you not fall off when you fly half a lap.
(3) After kicking the heel high, immediately land with your left hand. Remember, your left hand must be clenched and not bent. This will use the arm strength you learned earlier. In addition, when the left hand touches the ground, the distance between the hands should not be too close, and it is better to be parallel, which is also conducive to improving the quality of completion. At this time, your hands are grounded and your feet are empty.
By this time, you have learned Thomas's half circle. Next, send your waist, that is, when your hands are on the ground and your feet are suspended, your waist should stand forward. Of course, if your waist strength is not good, you should also exercise.
When you stand forward, learn to close your shoulders, because when your feet are flying with your hands on the ground, your legs will make a circle along the inertia by the force of kicking in front. At this time, you just need to hold your left hand and then switch your right hand from the back position to the front position to support the ground. At this time, your posture is the same as collapse. In addition, when your right foot is spinning against inertia, try to move to the right and drive your left foot, so that your ending will be beautiful.
A complete introduction to hip-hop music
1. Introduction to Street Dance
Hip-hop, also known as HIP-HOP, comes from black street dance, so it has another name called STREET FUNK. Hip hop is naturally loved by young people because of its relaxed and free personality and rebellious spirit. After filtering out the fishy smell and exaggeration of the original hip-hop, Hip-hop boarded the elegant hall-gym. Hip-hop is the floorboard of all kinds of street dance, including mechanical dance, break dance and so on. It originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers. These street dancers are mainly black or Mexican. Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, new york, USA. Some black or Mexican children dance in the street all day, forming various factions and naturally developing different dances.
1992 at the beginning, there was a kind of "in-situ hip-hop", without those big moves and footwork movements, not to mention the ground movements similar to gymnastics in break dancing. Its unique style lies in paying attention to the coordination of the body, attaching importance to the rhythm of the upper body, and adding a lot of head and hand movements. We're in Macquarie? Jackson, Maria? Kelly and Backstreet Boys can see this new style of dance on MTV.
In the daily training of professional aerobics athletes, this kind of street dance is often used to train athletes' comprehensive qualities such as coordination and expressiveness, and sometimes it is also used for performance. Hip-hop is fashionable in appearance and moderate in exercise intensity, so it is possible for it to enter the gym. The hip-hop dance in the gym pays more attention to its safety, exercise value, health and personality expression in the choice of action, so practitioners consume fat and relieve mental stress. Personally, I think HIP-HOP in the gym has a more prominent psychological adjustment effect on practitioners. Therefore, some people call it "the only sport that makes people smile and train."
The classification of street dance is:
Hip-hop is a kind of dance that people contact most. It has big and simple steps, and can show a complex sense of dance. Because it is easy to learn and beautiful to jump, it is very popular with the public.
Mechanical dance, using the muscles and joints of all parts of the body, with the beat of music and rich imagination, creates amazing dance steps. It belongs to the more difficult street dance type.
Break dancing is also a difficult dance step, which can be roughly divided into two types: hand, head and body rotating on the ground, called big floor; Stepping on the ground with four limbs, combined with a tricky handstand, is called a small floor. Of course, while dancing, you can also match the movements you want to express at will.
Freestyle is a superb dance step, which mixes all kinds of dances and expresses them at will. There is no limit to the style of dance, which is out of the norm of general dance. It can be said that it is personalized street dance.
House is a kind of dance step, accompanied by indoor music, performing complex and magical dance steps. You can combine the twist of Latin dance, the somersault of martial arts, the basic steps of tap dance and the turn of ballet. It can be elegant or wild.
Clothing tips:
Big t-shirt, mop pants, baseball cap, tight vest, sports shoes, etc. It can be your choice, but I want to remind you that while pursuing fashion and individuality, don't ignore beauty. If it doesn't suit you, it looks "weird" rather than good-looking.
Introduction to hip hop:
You can choose some hip-hop music to adapt to the rhythm characteristics and dance a few times with the hip-hop rhythm. When learning from the coach, follow the coach's procedure of breaking down the movements. For example, learn lower limb movements first, and then gradually add upper limb and head movements. Slow first, then fast, don't rush for success.
The fitness value of hip hop;
The action is explosive, mostly around the ring and small joints, so it can better improve the coordination ability of practitioners and make the small joints and muscles that the body does not exercise often get full exercise. In addition, moderate exercise intensity has the effect of aerobic exercise, so that practitioners can improve the main lung function and achieve the purpose of losing weight. Practitioners can also choose music with different rhythms to adjust the intensity of exercise according to their physical condition and sports foundation.
Hip hop beginner reminder
Beginners of street dance must not increase the amount of exercise at once, but step by step. Usually do warm-up activities first, fully exercise all joints and ligaments of the body, especially knees and ankles, to avoid injury when jumping; Then enter a certain intensity and time of practice, preferably not less than 30 minutes; Finally, use various stretching exercises to relax the body. Only in this way can we achieve better slimming effect.
Because everyone's age, physique and health are different, everyone's exercise intensity is also different. "Exercise intensity" is generally expressed as "maximum heart rate", so you should calculate the most suitable heart rate when dancing street dance:
If you are 25 years old and don't often take part in physical exercise, and your physical fitness is average, then your maximum heart rate is 220-25 = 195, and the appropriate exercise intensity (exercise heart rate) should be (60-75%) ×195 =195.

Back flip practice method
1, lie flat on the ground and practice groups.
Key points: After lying flat, swing your arms up from both sides of your body and stick your ears on the inside of the big arm to the end. Fold the calf tightly, then fold it from the thigh to the chest. Do not leave your back on the ground during the above actions. Then continue to tighten until the rest of the shoulder touches the ground. Need to practice again and again.
2. Stand and bounce
Key points: swing your arms up from both sides of your body in a standing position, and stick your ears on the inside of the big arm to the highest point. At the same time, lift your breath, lift your body and jump. Keep your body upright in the air.
3, somersault continuous action
Based on the above two points, the arm swings upward from both sides of the body, and the inner side of the big arm sticks two ears to the highest point. At the same time, lift the air, put your body away and jump, then fold your calves and then fold them from your thighs to your chest. Keep your posture after the ball is tight. When turning over, the body falls and spreads out until the feet touch the ground, and the action is over.
4. Auxiliary exercises
It is best to have the care and guidance of the coach to avoid injury during somersault. (The instructor must be able to do it himself)
Generally, there is no sponge pit in the Dojo, so you can use cushions and other items to spread on the ground during the primary practice, which has avoided serious injury to your feet or other positions.
Practitioners should tie the belt around the waist and shoulders, not too loose. Two people stand on both sides of your body, each pulling the head on one side of the track, and the practitioner begins to do somersaults. If there is a mistake or a pause when falling, you can protect it on both sides and pull it up.
The above is just a brief explanation of the practice method. I hope everyone will pay attention to personal safety when practicing. Because the written explanation is not as direct as the on-site guidance, please understand.
