Some people say that "Latin dance" is a magical dance, pregnant with love; Some people also say that "Latin dance" is very coquettish and sexy in clothes, but these are just the additional functions of Latin dance, which itself is an excellent fitness exercise.
Latin dance can fully release emotions, reduce stress, and consume a lot of fat at the same time, which has an obvious effect on shaping the figure, especially the curve of waist, abdomen and buttocks. Besides, Latin dance is easy to learn. As long as you learn the basic steps and postures, you can jump out of your own style.
There are n reasons why you fall in love with Latin dance. Latin dance is very suitable for women, the music is playing, and your body swings with the rhythm. While fully showing the posture of Latin dance, you are fully showing that you are a sexy and real woman.
Latin dance gives dancers freedom and freedom to the maximum extent. The same is true for clothes, whether it's skirts or trousers, whether it's the layering of bohemian lace or simple tight suspenders, as long as it can express your sexiness. But remember: Latin dance focuses on the waist and crotch, and it is the most taboo to completely cover the waist curve and movements with loose clothes.
If you wear pants, you'd better choose pants with low waist, hip lift and tight legs but scattered legs to create a slender figure and exquisite curves.
Layers of necklaces, big earrings, wild leopard patterns ... Latin dance can wear some exaggerated accessories, which is very unique.
Key points of twisting steps in Latin dance at all levels
L﹒ Closed hip twist (bronze grade):
This is a basic dance step, starting with a tight grip.
Step 1: The man's left foot is to the side and the woman's right foot is open.
Step 2: the man's center of gravity shifts to his right foot, and the woman is in a relative position.
Step 3: A man's left foot and right foot.
A woman can put her left foot forward, facing the man's right foot, or just facing the man. At this time, the woman must twist her hips to the right and try to keep her upper body in the same position as the man.
Step 4: Move your left foot forward, and then move your right foot forward.
Step 5: Turn left, put your left foot back, and keep a fan-shaped posture.
Step 6: Step back with your left foot.
Dude, step four, back off. The fifth step is to shift the center of gravity to the left foot. Step 6: Right foot to the side. There are some complicated details, and the movement and torsion in rotation can't be ignored. The twist in the rotation often begins before the previous beat, which is called "&". In other words, the numbering method of the winning bid is "2-3-4- 1&", madam, and the first three steps should be&; Before the racket is pushed to the left, the precompressed right foot begins to twist.
2. Hip torsion score (silver grade):
I wish I could explain it completely, but literally, it is enough to show that this reversal begins with an open facial position.
3. Advanced hip twisting (gold level)
The concept of twist generally has the same characteristics, but many twists and rapid rotations are formed from the previous position, and most men end up on the right outside.
4. Continuous and circuitous twisting steps Continuous and round hip twisting:
The direction of the continuous twisting step is smaller than that of the hip. Secondly, the continuous twisting is a kind of footwork that combines the rotating action, which is the difference between the continuous twisting footwork.
5。 Gaynor's distortion? Just kidding, even though gaynor's distortion is so unique, isn't it? )
General FAQ:
I always feel that many women don't swing their hips between the third and fourth steps, but make full use of the rotation of their bodies to cause exaggerated movements. I think we should twist our hips harder and exert some thrust instead of doing it on our shoulders. This is an ugly action, the shoulders must be completely parallel to the partner, and "move naturally and never abandon."
Latin dance entry posture
Rumba and cha-cha:
1。 Stand with your feet together naturally and easily.
2。 Hold your chest out, straighten your spine, and don't shrug.
3。 Take a step sideways with either foot, straighten the other foot that supports the center of gravity, and move all the weight to this foot, so that the pelvis can move sideways, so that the weight is placed on the heel of the supporting foot, and the knee should be locked backwards. As for the range of pelvic movement, it should be based on the principle of not affecting the upper body posture.
Samba and Wu Jie:
1。 Stand with your feet together naturally and easily.
2。 Hold your chest out, straighten your waist, and don't shrug.
3。 When either foot takes a step outward, the other foot supporting the center of gravity straightens, and all the weight is moved to this one, so that the weight moves forward to the forefoot, while the heel is still off the ground, and the knee supporting the foot cannot be locked backwards. Some dance steps are exceptions, such as fractional rock step, back step and fold step in samba, and chicken step in swing dance.
Because Spanish bullfighting has no pelvic or hip movement, its posture is different from the above Latin dance as follows: 1 The pelvis leans forward slightly. 2。 The weight is borne equally by both feet. 3。 When the feet are straight, the knees should not be fastened backwards. Except for one example, that is Spanish dance.
location
The orientation under the chart is used to explain the direction in which the dancer's body faces or faces back in the dance studio. When we use our shoulders to guide (walk sideways), the correct direction is very important. Rumba, cha-cha and swing dance are non-progressive dances, while samba and Spanish bullfighting are progressive dances.
Rotation degree
In Latin dance, the feet are never parallel, only when the feet are close together. Most of the foot rotation like this is outward rotation, but the foot rotates with all or part of its weight, which belongs to "passive rotation", or the reaction action of the foot. Because, in dance, the amount of rotation of the feet is mostly different from that of the upper body.
Learn the basic posture of Latin dance
Holding out the chest makes the two shoulder blades retract backwards, while the two shoulders sink, the middle part of the body (chest and waist part) is pulled up, so that there is a mutual pressing force between the middle part of the body and the two shoulders.
The hips are slightly inward, and the lower abdomen is pulled upward, but the body should not be deformed too much and the upper body should be straight. The two thighs should be slightly retracted, the knees should be straight and not bent, and the muscles of the thighs and calves should be tightened, which feels like tightening in the opposite direction.
Standing posture: the left foot is in front, the toes are forward, the body center of gravity is on the left foot, and the body is as straight as possible, so that the head, shoulders and buttocks are in a line. Open your right foot at the back, straighten your knees, point your thumb inward, press your heels inward, and keep your feet straight.
The right hip leans back 45 degrees, making the body form a long straight line from the upper body to the tip of the right foot, which can show a beautiful shape and figure in the dance.
Precautions for beginners to learn Latin: For beginners, it is suggested to focus on the basic steps, which seems simple, but not many people really do well. Don't think that the basic steps of a few beats are so simple and have a lot of knowledge. It is important to get that feeling by learning Latin dance steps.
When dancing Latin dance, the state of the human body should be divided into three parts.
1。 The upper body, especially the shoulders, should stand well, which embodies the nobility of the Spanish and the essence of white culture in Latin dance.
2。 The middle part of the body, including the waist and crotch, should be twisted to the fullest, showing the lively and extroverted characteristics of African culture.
3。 The movements of the lower body, legs and feet originated from Indian culture, and some steps of Latin dance also originated from this.
Therefore, if you want to dance Latin dance well, you must have a good understanding of these three characteristics, and it is not easy to integrate diversified personality into body language.
Other matters needing attention:
1。 Men should have short hair and long hair in a ponytail, without makeup or accessories; If a lady has long hair, she should wear it on her head and don't throw it away. She can wear some accessories, but not too big.
2。 Clothing is generally tight, men are mainly black, and women wear short skirts, the length of which should not exceed the knees, so as not to affect sports. Shoes have special dancing shoes, but it is advisable to be comfortable during training, preferably flat shoes.
3。 Pay attention to etiquette, men should send invitations to women first, and women should reciprocate. After the dance, you must thank the audience, and the man should also send the woman back.
4。 Novices should not jump together in a hurry, nor touch the flower steps in a hurry to avoid injury.
5。 Pay attention to muscle tension, adjust mood, breathe evenly and prevent action deadlock when dancing.
6。 In the case of poor breathing, please take a rest before deciding whether to continue;
7。 Don't twist your waist too hard, but take the feeling as the standard;
8。 If the following conditions occur, such as leg fatigue, local pain and discomfort, dizziness, increased heart rate, etc. You can stop practicing.
Some bodybuilders are too nervous in all joints of their bodies, which should be corrected. Bodybuilders should relax their shoulders when they step. If some movements are difficult to do, you can practice the movements step by step, first learn the movements under your feet, and then add the movements of your arms. In addition, Latin calisthenics requires high coordination of movements, so bodybuilders must relax during the exercise, and don't be afraid, and don't be afraid of being laughed at if the movements are not good.
