Ballet is an elegant art of body movements. Girls learn to dance ballet, which can not only shape their bodies, but also improve their temperament. So what are the requirements of ballet? Let's have a look!
1, ballet requirements
1. 1, basic figure requirements: the height should not be too high, the hands should be spread horizontally at the sides of the body, the distance between the two fingertips is equal to the body length, the leg length (from the thigh root, not from the waist) is more than 20CM longer than the body length, the neck is long and the head is small, which is called "three long and one small" for short. But this is an ideal state, which most dancers can't reach. Usually, the average figure of a ballet dancer is thinner in waist and arms but thicker in legs. Then measure the body proportion, starting from the third spine behind the neck to the butt root, and then from the butt root to the ground. Compared with the two lengths, it is better to have legs above 10. Then I want you to open your arms and measure the length, at least about your height.
1.2. Learning ballet requires dancers, regardless of gender, shoulders, chest, span, knees and ankles. The five joints spread symmetrically, especially the feet spread at 180 degrees, which extends the dancer's body lines to the maximum extent, expands the range of dance movements, enhances the expressive force, and also enhances the balance and flexibility of the body.
2. Matters needing attention in ballet dance
2. 1, foot wear, blisters, cracked nails, instep strain.
For dancers, it is normal for the skin of feet to be worn and blistered. Wash your feet at ordinary times to prevent bacterial infection. Ballerinas often need their toes to slide on the ground, and the nails on the inside of their big toes are easily worn out. If this situation is serious, stick nails on the inside of their big toes with band-aid before each dance to reduce direct friction with the ground and clean them properly.
2.2, ankle sprain, fracture
Ankle is a very unstable joint, which can bear great pressure in ballet. When spraining, you should apply ice, not hot compress or massage, which may cause dislocation or soft tissue dislocation to expand. In severe cases, it needs to be fixed with bandages or splints, and then seek medical attention in time.
3. How to breathe in ballet skill training
Breathing is one of the most important factors in ballet skill training. Smooth breathing contributes to the stability and fluency of skills and the smooth completion of skills. It is not difficult to see the important role of breathing in ballet techniques. It is the window of emotional emergence and the driving force to promote the perfection of ballet technology.
In the process of training ballet to turn and jump, the average rhythm of breathing has also changed due to the change of technical movements. To adapt to different technical movements, breathing should be adjusted according to the nature and rhythm of movements, and try to keep the rhythm of breathing. The rhythm of breathing is ever-changing, such as the strength of skill movements, the speed, the increase and decrease of energy and the magnitude. Movement plays a leading role, and breathing is arranged according to the intensity and frequency of skill movements, so that internal and external forces and internal and external rhythms can be coordinated and used freely. Through the correct use of breathing and gradual practice in ballet skill training, you can gradually achieve effortless exertion and shortness of breath.
The benefits of ballet
1, tall and straight, dignified.
Girls learn ballet. In the process of learning dance, all kinds of basic ballet training are good for her bone development and figure, which can correct some girls' bad posture and figure at present and keep girls upright and dignified whether standing or sitting.
2. Improve temperament and self-confidence.
A woman who practices ballet may not be beautiful, but she can't stop an elegance, a calmness and a charm from the inside out. The ballet coming down from the temple not only makes people beautiful, but also sets off the inherent elegance, so that "mortals" can also appreciate the dexterity and elegance of swan dance. From this perspective, ballet, as a way to keep fit and improve temperament, can be learned by anyone.
3. Improve your body and lose weight.
Nowadays, many urbanites sit and work and seldom exercise. But in this way, I'm afraid of gaining weight. There are many shoulder and arm movements in the basic movements of ballet, which is especially suitable for office white-collar workers to relax their nervous shoulders.
What are the skills of practicing ballet?
1, open means that the legs are opened outward, that is, the legs are turned outward from the root of the thigh to the maximum. This is not only the basic aesthetic characteristics of ballet, but also a scientific achievement that people have gradually studied from the perspective of human body structure.
2. Stretching refers to stretching the foot, preferably making the foot surface protrude to increase the aesthetic feeling of the foot shape and the expressive force of the foot. At the same time, foot stretching can increase the strength and flexibility of ankle joint.
3. Straight means that the knees of the main leg (support leg) and the extended leg (strength leg) should be straight. In other words, stretch the muscles of your legs to the maximum.
4. Standing means that the body should be upright and straight, and the center of gravity of the body should be accurately placed on the center of gravity of two legs or one leg. Actors are required to tuck in their stomachs and expand their chests, and they must never pout and stoop.
5. Lightness means dancing lightly and freely. For example, when jumping, it is best not to hear any sound when pushing the ground to the ground. At the same time, you should dance easily. Even if the actor is very hard and tired, try not to let the audience see and feel it.
Ballet symbol
Ballet Art: A ballerina who stood on tiptoe in Chen Yuxian. In the eyes of the audience, dancing on tiptoe is relaxing and enjoyable. The pink ballet shoes on the actress's feet are so beautiful and elegant, which reminds people that this is a noble art. But, in fact, it is very difficult to dance on tiptoe. Those who devote themselves to the art of ballet and explore its mysteries are unwilling to reveal their secrets to the public. If the secret of ballet shoes is uncovered, it seems that the mystery of ballet will cease to exist.
The huge load that ballet shoes can bear can be compared with football shoes, and the key is toes. The toe cap is not only soft, but also has a considerable safety factor. Even if the toe of the shoe is broken when jumping, the actress promises not to be disabled.
Ballet shoes produced by Grishko, a famous Russian company, are very popular in more than 30 countries from Africa to Mexico.
The toe of ballet shoes is made of cloth, such as satin for corsets. Experts from "Grishko" concluded that the most suitable color for ballet shoes-pink, can not only stimulate the audience, but also appease the actress herself, instead of pink, which is usually used in many countries.
The biggest mystery of the toe of ballet shoes lies in the "shoe box" that allows actresses to dance on tiptoe. The shoe box is hidden in the toe. The "shoe box" is actually a hard cover covering the toes and a part of the foot surface. "Shoe box" is made of six layers of the most common linen or other textiles, excluding wood, plastic, cork and other materials. "Grishko" company has the specialty of adhesive, which makes the toes not too hard or too soft and not easy to break.
The toe cap is hand-sewn, and then sewn together with the rest of the shoe with the inside and outside of the "shoe box". After that, the shoemaker turned the toe back and knocked the "shoe box" flat with a small hammer. If there is no unevenness, let the shoes stand upright on a hard object to see if they can keep balance. Finally, let the dancing shoes dry at 50 degrees Celsius and store at room temperature. A pair of ballet shoes is ready! Unfortunately, a pair of ballet shoes has a short life span: two or three performances. The record of "Grishko" shoes is that nadezhda Gracio, a soloist of the Grand Theatre, cooperated with Kittery and danced nine times in the ballet Don Quixote.
In order to adapt to feet of different heights, there are always three kinds of ballet shoes: Vaganova, Elita One and Fujie. Each model is divided into 17 size. In addition, there are five types of obesity in each size. Any actress can choose her ideal shoes from 255 kinds of shoes with different thickness, size and thinness. Nevertheless, in order to make the shoes fit her feet better, every actress has her own unique methods: some people beat the shoes with a small hammer, some people squeeze the shoes with a door, and some people put all kinds of things into the "shoe box" ...
Yekaterina maximo Vaya, a Russian ballerina in Swan Lake, admits that in an era when there are not many choices, every time a new play is shown, it takes her all day to adapt her feet to dancing shoes.
There's another thing that hasn't been mentioned. Every actress usually sews a small ribbon on her dancing shoes. The road to the stage has been opened!
As for actors, they wear so-called soft shoes-ordinary cloth shoes in the eyes of laymen. Its production process is not as good as that of an actress, but it also has its own subtleties. There are two kinds of soft shoes: full sole and split sole. The split sole consists of two parts: the front of the shoe and the heel. It is the front of the shoe that makes the actor's feet comfortable and free to wear inside.
The tying method of dancing shoes is also very particular: usually the ribbon is tied on the leg twice, and then tied with a bow. Because you can't tie ribbons when performing, actors should tie their shoelaces tightly before taking the stage.
