These are the basic steps of men's four-step dance. It should be noted that the pace should be light and smooth, the center of gravity should be low, the back should be straight, and the arms should be relaxed naturally. You can practice slowly with the rhythm of the music first, or you can find a senior dancer to guide you.
The four-step dance is generally divided into 4/4 beats.
The first step is to take a big step forward. On the first beat, the lady's right foot retreats, then her left foot retreats, then her right foot retreats, on the second beat, her left foot retreats, and on the third beat, she walks quickly and alternately.
Men's dance steps are the opposite of women's. When jumping, a man's left foot moves forward first, and then strolls from heel to sole. The second beat is that the right foot moves forward and the heel walks up and down the sole of the foot. The third beat is a trot. When jumping, the left foot is fast, then the right foot is accelerated, and finally the feet are flat.
Old silk cloth, popular in Taiyuan, Xinzhou, Jinzhong and other places in Shanxi, is a unique local national standard dance, which is deeply loved by dancers.
The fourth step is unique. People in Taiyuan and its surrounding areas like her elegance, stretch and freedom, as well as her arrogance, laziness or unspeakable taste. When foreigners start learning, they always think that she is not refined and inferior to Balinese, but after a long time, they will like this relaxed dance.
