Good morning, everyone. Today I will introduce some popular dances to you.

Dance is a wonderful art, through which everyone can enjoy happiness and passion.

Ballet is usually considered as the most classic dance. Ballet is a form of dance performed for the audience in the theater. The word "ballet" comes from the Italian word "ballet", which means "dancing". Ballet was originally developed in the 5th century A.D./Kloc-0, and it is a form of entertainment for the Italian royal family. Male dancers first dominated the stage, until a miss Lafontaine led the way for female dancers in The Arc de Triomphe of Love.

Like other dance forms, ballet can tell a story, express an emotion, or just reflect music. But the technique (performance mode) and special skills of ballet dancers are very different from those of other dancers. Ballerinas perform many unnatural movements to the body. But when these actions are performed well, they look natural.

Different ballet styles have developed in different countries. For example, styles developed in the United States tend to be full of energy and speed. Russian ballet is usually powerful and gorgeous, while French ballet is usually beautiful and decorative. Ballet dancers travel all over the world and adopt different characteristics of foreign styles. Due to these international influences, all ballet is constantly being broadened and enriched.

Let's talk about jazz dance.

Since the1920s, the term "jazz dance" has been used to describe a popular and creative dance movement that changes forever. It represents our popular culture, and with the change of culture, jazz dance also appears. Jazz dance, as a main segment, has personality and the ability to make changes. It is this element that allows it to molt itself and molt again in every past era. This means that social dances in the1920s, such as Charleston and Back Bottom, are called jazz dances, but so are the drama dances of choreographer bob fosse. Fred Astaire's style comes from jazz dance and many dances of modern choreographer Alvin Avery. The shortened sound of tap dance can be considered as jazz dance, but so can the body pop-up action of break dance. The common theme that unites these obviously different things is rhythm, or more precisely, the rhythm created under the influence of Africa.

Break dancing, a bit like street dance.

Pay more attention to the movement on the ground.

In clubs, on the street or in your home, break dancing will attract attention and win admiration if done correctly. This is a spectacle in itself, a feat of sports, and an achievement of physical movement. Like any dance form, all you need is practice and guidance.

Today's break dance began to mature in 1969 and 1970. At that time, the music presenter, record producer and visionary Afrika Bambaataa persuaded the members of the Bronx Street gang, who was the warlord at that time, to challenge the rival gang with manly dance instead of guns and knives.

With the development of 1970s, more emphasis was placed on stylized leg movements (so-called floor rock or downward rock). With the development of funk, soul and early hip hop music, movements were added and deleted. Nevertheless, the basic forms of swing and break dancing "cutting" competitions remained unchanged until "Rock Band" and "Electronic Bugaloos" (later renamed as "Electronic Boogaloos") swept the streets of new york with spectacular hand-sliding, backspin, windmill and head-spinning, and became synonymous with break dancing.

In 1980s and 1990s, as break dancing was incorporated into the production of movies and musicals, European and Asian fans incorporated their own rich spins and spins into it, which became popular all over the world.

Let's pay attention to a completely different dance form, that is, belly dance.

Belly dance is a traditional western term in the Middle East. Some American fans simply call it "Middle East Dance".

Belly dance is a local dance, and boys and girls learn it from childhood. Like many ballroom dances, children learn it informally by observing and imitating their elders in family and community celebrations and in informal gatherings with friends. Today, these ancient dances are taught in courses all over the world, and skilled dancers can share their knowledge passed down from the indigenous people who created these dances.

Recently, belly dancing has become popular because of Latin superstar Shakira. Her dance combines belly dancing, Latin and modern dance styles.

That's all for today. I hope you like my introduction and have fun in the world of dance.
