What should I pay attention to when practicing street dance for the first time?

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.

Edit this paragraph to find the feeling of dancing street dance.

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.

Specific practice methods

POPPIN is very strong as long as he uses his limbs flexibly. Don't jump POPPIN until your limbs have become POP, because the foundation is unstable and you will never learn well. Even if you imitate an action and jump out, people in the industry will feel ugly at first sight, and POPPIN is no bigger than anyone else, otherwise the whole body will POP. When you pop up, the output point should be short and large. The more relaxed POPPIN is, the better it looks, so it looks very thin. Many people will use the sudden drop of the upper shoulder to drive the POP of muscles in various parts during practice. This practice method can't be said to be incorrect, but POP is not good-looking. More importantly, what needs to be added is that when you just practice, you will feel that your movements are very few. In fact, this is not a problem, as long as you dance for a long time. I feel good. I put my body into music. It doesn't matter if I repeat some actions in a song. What matters is the feeling. Dance to the music, be in tune, as long as you can dance a song to the music.

First, the method of hand exercises

1, put your hands in a posture much like riding a horse, and put your fingers down to feel relaxed.

2. Then you press your wrist down, but let the finger part go up. When you press your wrist down, do you see a concave hole in your forearm, that is, a small hole in the shaft (just practice it repeatedly)

3. When practicing, look at the upper part of your hand and see if the muscles explode. If yes, see if the connection between the chest and the arm is beating, and if the muscles in the back are beating. When the wrist is pressed down, the chest muscles are beating slightly, but it should be noted that the chest muscles are not jumping forward, but jumping upward. If you have the above points, you are right.

It is estimated that the beating of back muscles may not come out at the beginning of training, but forced training is still possible. It should be noted that when practicing hands, don't exert force on your shoulders, all the force is on your wrist. Please try to see if you can feel it.

It is natural that the practice of this hand should be coordinated with the practice of the upper foot.

Second, the practice of soaking feet

In fact, the thump in the footsteps is actually the thump in the crotch. Many people find it so complicated and difficult to practice. In fact, the practice of crotch is easier than the practice of hands. Just don't feel too complicated. Try to keep it simple. The simpler the better, pay attention to your knees.

1, you stand up first, then your knees lean forward slightly, which is a bit like sitting down.

2, you start from the first point, stand up slowly from this action, remember to straighten your feet slowly, but don't use force.

3. Stand up slowly. When your feet are about to stand up straight, you suddenly straighten your feet hard and fast (that is, your knees are backward). Has this kind of repeated practice become popular? Remember never to use any force or retract your ass. That's an incorrect practice method. Let's try to think simply.

It is natural that this kind of foot exercise should be coordinated with the upper limb exercise.

Third, head shots.

In fact, it is really difficult to explain the first part of the exercise by typing! In fact, it is an effect of the force on the head at 45 degrees.

When we meet acquaintances on the road, we often say "hello". Remember, the POP on the head is a bit like "hello". How can I put it? When you are calling someone "hello", is your head a little upward, that is, that "point" is actually POP, but you should work hard and finish it in a short time. Attention is to keep the original relaxed expression first, suddenly ask someone to feed you, and learn the POP in your mind after repeated practice. Do you feel something? But don't push your chin. It's on the back of your head. Can you follow me?

Fourth, hold out your chest

No need to practice chest. (But the real one-chest electric shock needs practice. When you straighten your waist for the first time, you will feel a little sore. Pay attention to your chest, and then suddenly POP when you relax slowly, but this POP is not waist strength, and the waist is straight just for the sake of being more beautiful when you POP! )

supplement

Finally, I would like to add some views of Popper: BOKY at the domestic level:

1。 POP on the arm mainly uses triceps brachii and brachioradialis muscle. You can try this action: hold the wall with your five fingers, and then push the wall with your palm (pay attention to the natural bending of the elbow joint, and don't straighten it hard). The muscle group used in this action is roughly the POP position on the arm.

2。 The muscles of the chest walk vertically upwards. Because it should be noted that few explosion points will be completed by stretching the joints. So on the other hand, pectoralis major does not go up, which is bound to participate in the bending of spinal joints. In addition, the POP of chest muscles and the POP of neck muscles are generally completed at the same time. It can be understood this way. When the chest muscles go up, keep the head in the original position or press down slightly, which naturally compresses the muscles in the neck. In addition, how to exercise neck muscles? Everyone tries to pronounce two sounds, one is "Oh". When this mouth is stretched to the maximum, it naturally tightens the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The other is "ha". This mouth shape can tighten levator scapulae and scapulohyoid muscles to the maximum extent. These three muscles are an important source of neck thumping.

3。 Open your legs. This is the only POP that needs to be done with joints. Because it is difficult to tighten the muscles of all parts of the thigh when the knee is naturally bent. In addition, it should be added that the POP in the lower plate is not only made of thigh muscles. In some specific movements, the muscles of the hips and lower back will also use POP.

Edit the way hip-hop is dressed in this paragraph.

In the busy city streets, we can sometimes see that many young people like to wear this way: a wide sweater or an oversized sports coat directly covers their hips, the upper body overlaps inside and outside, the waistband hangs low on the crotch, the trouser legs are directly supported on the ground, and the trouser legs are stacked on the heels, so that the whole person can be safely hidden in a tight clothing cover.

This comfortable and humorous dress style actually comes from African-American families. Originally, in order to save money, brothers and sisters were allowed to wear big clothes worn by brothers and sisters. Over time, such a loose street feeling has been formed.

With the popularity of extreme sports such as Hip——Hop and skateboarding by black people from all over the world, this dress style, which is deeply loved by black musicians and street sportsmen, has also begun to be loved by young people all over the world.

The typical wearing styles of HIP-HOP mainly include: a wide T-shirt with exaggerated Logo, similarly wide casual pants, jeans or sweatpants with side zippers, basketball shoes or workers' boots, fisherman's hats or baseball caps, headscarves with ethnic patterns, and hair dyed into ears of wheat or braided. Corresponding accessories include tattoo Tatoo, silver earrings or nose rings, arm rings, matrix sunglasses, MD walkman, scooter, backpack Back-pack, etc. Together, these sporadic clothes form a hip-hop fashion that has been popular in the United States for 20 years.

When you see a boy dressed like this in the street, he has knitted a long black hair, a long-sleeved cotton shirt, a short-sleeved baseball T-shirt, extra-wide sweatpants, a nail-thick steel bar passing through his left ear bone, a pair of foggy silver headphones hanging around his neck, a pair of skateboarding shoes to strengthen ankle protection and a big square backpack. In any case, they all look like children of Chinese Americans who have just come to visit their relatives. Don't be surprised, this must be a hip-hop fan!

However, as long as you carefully observe, it is not difficult to find that these typical hip-hop costumes can not be called "fresh". In fact, big T-shirts can be seen everywhere, and wide casual pants are not new. Pant jeans have been used by little girls to match tight T-shirts in recent years, and basketball shoes and workers' boots are even more common, not to mention baseball caps, headscarves, earrings, backpacks or sunglasses. Among all hip-hop devices, the only relatively new one is the scooter, but most children born in the 1970s should remember the "shaved ice" they used to play in kindergarten. It is also a high handlebar, with front and rear wheels and a single pedal in the middle, which is exactly the same as the popular scooter today. Therefore, hip-hop fashion, which seems fresh, is actually not so fresh.

It's not easy to reassemble those ordinary clothes and wear that unprecedented hip-hop feeling. What exactly is Hip-hopStyle? The answer is simple and clear: "You need to feel that way." In short, it is the word "feeling", but to put it more thoroughly, this word includes natural artistic talent, feeling for music and dance, keen sense of touch and taste, very outgoing personality, excellent English ability and sense of humor. In other words, people who want to maximize the feeling of hip-hop are very cool newcomers. Find an English word to describe it, and the most appropriate one is "Smart".

So, if you don't think your self-cultivation has reached the above level, then don't try hip-hop that you haven't felt in place yet, otherwise it will only make people feel awkward and unnatural. If it is seen by those who have already cultivated hip-hop, it will undoubtedly make people laugh.

[Origin of Street Dance]

Dance is a kind of folk dance, which arose among African-American teenagers in 1980s and is a part of African-American "hip hop". Because this kind of dance appears in the street, regardless of the venue equipment, it is called hip-hop, which has strong participation, performance and competitiveness. In the gradual development, street dance teenagers have formed an ideology and behavior. They use street dance to publicize their individuality, show the vitality and passion of youth and express their enterprising attitude towards life. They emphasize the concept of "being yourself, enjoying life and being brave in challenges".

Hip hop knowledge introduction

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 to make complicated and changeable footwork movements, coupled with tricky handstands, 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.

With House's music, House performs a dance step with complicated and magical dance steps, which can be combined with the twisting of Latin dance, the somersault of martial arts, the basic dance steps of tap dance and the turn of ballet. It can be elegant or wild.

Dressing skills

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.

Fitness value of street dance

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.

2. Street dance species

First, popular mechanical dance. Second, lock dance. Third, break dancing. Fourth, fluctuating current. The above four kinds of street dance suitable for mom and dad are combined, and two new kinds of street dance children are born: HIPHOP dance and HOUSE dance. These are aliens and perverts. I think it should be easier for everyone to understand and absorb.

In fact, street dance is divided into six categories, including new dance and old dance. It seems that many of them are annoying and some are not. Don’t panic！ ! I am brainwashing you!

The next thing I want to tell you is the essence of POP DANCE mechanical dance: it originated from the movements and forms of robots. I remember that Michael Jackson (around 1969), the king of pop music, has been popular since he danced with robots on national television. Isn't it amazing? ! The point is "stop". Release energy immediately. It's not a robot. Mechanical dancing is not that heavy, but it's good to be able to slip through the emergency stop. Mechanical dancing should be quite isolated (you can't move anywhere else when you move). But poping doesn't need it. It is best to be shaking all over (as the case may be). How to "bang" every beat, preferably just right for the music? ..... Simply put, the muscles tighten instantly. Relatively speaking, when the racket is not stuck, the muscles are the most relaxed, but it is not the inability to catch and throw.

Second, LOCKUNG DANCE Lock Dance-It is understood that this is a hip-hop dance developed by men in black in ancient caves who saw China people playing nunchakus in the cave, with their hands swinging from side to side like nunchakus! Here I admire the unique creativity of black people, the so-called natural dance nation. Mainly hand movements. There are many styles, there is no right or wrong. You can add a lot of things after deformation. Divided into twist lock two parts. I can't say it clearly. If you want to know, please contact dance clubs in all schools. In short, the lock part is a bit like poping, while the twist part is a bit difficult to practice. It's not easy to look good. It's really hard to explain in words. Simply put, lock in the most important feeling. Although this is a necessary condition for every dance, in Locar's view, the posture, direction, angle and even momentum of a point must be strictly required, otherwise it is not called locking. It's really worrying to see some people think that locking is very good and teach others four unlike locking movements!

Break dancing-it combines China Kung Fu-is really unbearable. Give it something! China Kung Fu has been added to many break dancing movements, including turning, flapping, tumbling and throwing ... all kinds of strange tricks, awesome! ! Not if most people haven't practiced (except genius). There are legs, somersaults, jumps, frog turns, windmills, helicopters, thunder, pommel horse, head turns … and various combinations. Mainly by rotation, supplemented by turning over. But it's definitely not a monkey trick ... It's quite dangerous.

As for wave dance and current dance, there are many dance movements and concepts such as transmitting electricity and conducting electricity, and waves can only be practiced if they can spread to every part of the body. As long as you master it, you can master it. It's a little difficult and not too difficult! .

Rave rave: a rising star who replaced hip-hop today. It's right to keep twisting, because he doesn't have a fixed beat at all, and he is usually bright and beautiful, and a slim person is dancing (I have never seen a fat brother jump). Rave girls are all confident spice girls, but there are actually some playboys who are not drunk (their minds are full of sex all night! What are the new school and the old school? New york, the east coast of the United States-The new school dance originated from NEW STYLE, because they combined the four elements of street dance I mentioned above and then modified it, which is a beautiful new school dance. Besides, old-school dances are popular in Los Angeles on the west coast, which means they live in the original flavor, don't transform street dance, and strengthen their own style. We can find that the dancers there will magically dance their own street dance projects, which can be said to be superb, but it does not mean everyone.

Street dance has its own famous saying.

They mixed a record of German electronic band Power Plant Orchestra with the regular rhythm of drum machine and songs of black blues, and House came into being ~ generally translated as "Shi Hao" dance music, which is the most basic form of electronic dance music, with a rhythm of 4/4 beat, drums and simple melody. There are often high-pitched female voices singing. After disco became popular, some DJs changed it and deliberately made disco less commercial. Bass and drums are getting deeper and deeper, and many times they become pure music works. Even if there are singing parts, most of them are short sentences sung by female dancers, and there are often no clear lyrics. Gradually, some people added Latin (Latin), reggae (reggae originated in the West Indies), RAP or JAZZ. By the end of 1980s, House had rushed out of the underground world and became the darling of the pop charts in Chicago, new york and London.
