Simi is English? Swing? In belly dance, it refers to continuous and rapid shaking, which is the most typical action type of belly dance.
Sago can be divided into hip sago, hip sago, leg sago, shoulder sago, chest sago and abdomen sago according to body parts.
Hip and hip sago can also be divided into 3/4 sago and 4/4 sago according to the speed of action; According to the action type, it can also be divided into swinging sago, going up and down sago, pumping sago, etc. According to walking or not, it can also be divided into walking sago and in-situ sago.
According to knee flexion, muscle tension and amplitude, leg sago can be subdivided into more types.
With the development of belly dance, the classification of sago is expanding.
The benefits of practicing sago
The personal experience of countless belly dance lovers proves that practicing sago is of great benefit to the body: it can open joints, stimulate the cardiovascular system and help eliminate toxins. If you practice sago for 20 minutes, you will feel sweaty and carefree. Moreover, sago gently exercises muscles and joints in a relaxed state without hurting the waist, back or knees.
Trajectory and Force of 1 Simi
In belly dance, each kind of sago has its trajectory and power point. Like all dance movements, the trajectory determines the action effect of Simi. Without the track, Simi will appear disorganized. Over time, it will suddenly lose control and sense of rhythm, and the dance will be greatly reduced.
This problem mostly occurs in the early stage of entry, and the teachers who follow only emphasize the improvement of dance teaching, which leads to habit mistakes and neglect of detailed training, forming bad habits that are difficult to get rid of in the future.
Therefore, in Simi training, we need to find the action trajectory first, not fast, but accurate action rules. When the body gradually forms inertia, it is necessary to gradually increase the speed and start training with a specific rhythm, so that the body can get used to the action rules. It should be noted that in the initial stage of practice, except? Forget? Don't blindly pursue speed in the habits that your body has developed.
Relationship between 2 Simi frequency and rhythm
Many belly dancers will think that sago looks better as soon as possible. Is it true?/You don't say. Not really. In a certain rhythm, sago frequency will be in a mess if it is too fast; If it is too slow, the stress will be uneven and appear loose; And fast and slow will appear to have no sense of hierarchy. The key to determine the action frequency of Simi lies in the rhythm at that time and the maximum application of body inertia.
Simi action often only acts on a certain part of the body, and Simi in the same part always changes its frequency at different rhythms. A body with high inertia will change with subtle changes in rhythm, and sometimes this reaction will even be faster than the brain.
The correct way is: dancers should often carry out rhythmic and even simi training to find the law of body inertia. Simi uniform training means that the frequency of your Simi uniform movement is 1 beat, which is based on a fixed beat rather than melody.
Take knee shimmy as an example. The most common frequency of the three basic rhythms of knee shimmy is the number of times your knee alternates in an 8-beat. 1 You can play twice, four times and eight times. 1 twice means that your knee alternates twice in 1 and then repeats at a constant speed. And 1 beat four times means 1 beat four times alternately, and 1 beat eight times alternately.
This is a step-by-step rhythm training. The key to training is the constant beat and the increasing frequency in one beat.
Learn to use uniform training to develop body inertia and pursue the frequency of gradually increasing average speed, so that your sago can be more crisp and clear.
3 learn to relax. How can we make Simi shake better?
We all admire the ever-changing Cosmetic Contact Lenses shown by foreign dancers in the video, but this is not the case when we do it ourselves. In teaching, we have encountered many such cases, and many belly dance lovers have asked this question, but it is not a difficult problem to solve. Everyone will have an experience, that is, when you do movements, the teacher says to relax your muscles. Actually, it's very simple, just relax. Some students asked, how to dance when muscles are relaxed?
In fact, it means that you still don't understand how muscles are used. For example, if you go running and your muscles are tense, can you run? This is the problem. When dancing, many people's bodies will be unconsciously nervous. In addition to the muscles that exert strength, other muscle areas are also tense and stiff, and it is impossible to do a good job, let alone the flexible and delicate sago.
Learn to relax, the premise is that you can freely control the muscle force points between movements, exert local force and relax your body, so dance movements are the best, and so is Simi. Relaxing the production of sago can make the shaking of sago easier, clearer and more beautiful! The so-called relaxation means that the flexibility, skills and strength of the body reach a certain level of proficiency, so as to achieve real relaxation.
