1. Just walk.
This is a step forward, and the rhythm is 2-3-4- 1. When moving forward, the center of gravity is on the front foot, the toe of the back foot touches the ground, and the instep is stretched straight; When retreating, the center of gravity is on the hind foot, the front toe touches the ground, and the instep is stretched straight. In the practice of basic movements, when moving the left foot, the right wrist drives the upper arm to draw a circle inward and downward and then straighten it; When moving the right foot, the left arm circles inward and downward, and then straightens out. The cervical spine should be forced upward, the shoulders should sink, and the arms should move naturally with the rhythm. Don't push too hard. The waist muscles tighten and the hip steps move in the direction of the force generated by the confrontation between the foot and the ground.
Step 2: Merge steps
Step by step is the basic step, but it is actually a horizontal step. Because of the confrontation between the feet and the ground, the crotch turns left and right. The left foot first moves to the left, then the right foot follows, then the left foot moves to the left, and the right foot does not move. This rhythm is often called "just right".
3. Fixed-point transfer
The rhythm of fixed-point rotation is the most basic 2-3-4-&; -1, fixed-point rotation completes 360-degree rotation in two actions. One leg, such as the right leg, stands upright. On the first beat, the left foot passes through the body from the front and moves to the right of the body. At the end of this rhythm, the body rotates to the right 180 degrees, and the left foot stands upright. The second step is to change the center of gravity in situ, that is, the right foot is upright. Then cross your left foot from back to left to complete the "just right" step. The rhythm of rotation is 2-4, and the synchronization is 4-&; - 1。 Keep your head when you rotate.
4. new york steps
The rhythm of new york step is also 2-3-4-&-1, and the foot is similar to time step and square step. First, one leg is upright, such as the right leg, and the left leg is half-legged. In the first shot, the left foot quickly passes through the body from the front and moves to the right of the body. The left leg is upright and the right leg is slightly bent. The knee of the right leg is close to the knee of the left leg, and the right foot touches the ground. At this time, it is a semi-gravity state, and the center of gravity is between the left and right feet, leaving the left leg. This action is called "check". At this time, the whole left arm straightens backward and upward, showing an action similar to the appearance of Beijing opera, and the rhythm of this "2" is slightly longer. In the next beat, push your right leg straight and your center of gravity will reach between your left and right feet. Then the left leg retreats from the front to complete the merging step.
5. Time step
The time step is the in-situ movement of the center of gravity, followed by the merging step.
6. Just walk
A square step is a cross formed by two steps. The first step is to move your left foot forward, complete the "inspection", and then come back to complete the left foot, with the center of gravity at the end. Step 2: Retract the right foot backward, shift the center of gravity directly to the right foot, and then move the right foot forward to complete the reverse merger step.
Action decomposition (time step) of in-situ basic step of cha-cha dance
Preparatory action: center of gravity of left foot, right foot open. You can also put your right foot back, the sole of your foot touches the ground and the instep collapses.
1. The right foot retracts to the left foot. When the sole of the foot touches the ground, the center of gravity is changed to the whole foot, the left leg is bent, the knee is closed, and the center of gravity is placed on the right leg.
2, the left leg is bent, the knee is inward, and the center of gravity of the right leg. In the process of these two parts, both feet step on the ground and interact with the ground, and the position of the crotch only rotates clockwise and counterclockwise on the horizontal plane, without moving left and right.
3. Put your left foot to the right, bend your left leg, close your knees, and still focus on your right foot.
4. The left leg is the center of gravity, the right leg moves to the right, and the knee is closed.
5. The reaction of the right foot to the ground makes the left foot move a small step to the left, the center of gravity reaches the left leg, the body stands upright, and the middle muscle cannot relax.
6. Take back your right foot and stick it on your left ankle. When the right leg is bent, the left leg is bent and the center of gravity is on the right foot.
7. Move your leg a small step to the right, bend and close your knees, and focus on your left foot.
8. Move the left leg to the right and stick it on the right side of the right foot to change the center of gravity.
9. Push the right leg to the right as a gravity leg.
Note: In this step, the toes will not leave the ground. Every time you change the center of gravity, try to use the contraction of abdominal muscles to absorb the up-and-down jitter that may be caused by leg movements, and keep your shoulders moving horizontally and don't jump up and down. Most of this action is done by holding hands in the closed upper body, so pay attention to the sinking of shoulders, and the hands will not give the other person too much strength to destroy the other person's body balance, which requires better balance and tightening in the middle.
A remarkable feature of cha-cha dance is to communicate feelings with eyes and facial expressions. The changeable rhythm and subtle syncopation changes can keep you excited all the time. Its dance features are mainly combining rigidity with softness, and the crotch is twisted as much as possible, which can show more charming charm. The rustling drums in winter and winter are not only the rhythm of dance, but also people's enthusiastic pursuit of life.
Upper body movement: when moving the right foot, the left hand contracts and the right hand extends. On the contrary, the same
Important note: the crotch moves sideways from the oblique front direction. In step 1, when the right foot is retracted, the knee should be tilted to the toe of the left foot. When the center of gravity of the left foot changes in step 2, the knee should also face the toe of the right foot.
