Tilt step is the tilt of our body to the left or right. When we turn on a bicycle, or when our plane is turning, the inclination of these turning actions is biased towards the inner ring (center). This phenomenon occurs because there is a centrifugal force that throws us outward. In order to keep parallel, we must lean inward when turning. We need to understand that once a bicycle has no speed, it doesn't need to tilt. The standard dance is the same, so there is no so-called swing and tilt. Waltz, foxtrot, Naina waltz and standard dance quickstep all need to be tilted, while tango steps do not swing and tilt.

Waltz tilt (sway 1 waltz):

Because the swing, rise and fall in the waltz are very obvious, there will be tilt, and so will the Vienna waltz. Take the bicycle in front as an example, there is no need to tilt before or after turning. The same theory applies to waltzes (or other dances with swings). There is no tilt at the first step into the rotation, and then there is tilt in the waltz.

Turn around naturally (male 1-6 steps) and swing to the right, swing to the left.

Left: The first step is straight (turning is about to start), the second step starts to tilt obviously to the right, and then it starts to decrease in the third step. Step four, the fork returns to a straight line. At this time, men should pay attention, because when you step back after entering the person, you are in the circle and the center of the circle should be placed on your left, so the fifth and sixth steps are leaning to the left. On the other hand, women and men are vacillating.

Swing left and right, swing left and right.

Try to be natural and don't refer to the books on dance skills completely:

When we finish the first step, we may start to tilt a little, but not as much as when we go backwards. I don't think the backward swing is as strong as when we move forward, so the sense of tilt is very weak. When we dance, we don't look good without leaning or leaning too much. If the waltz is not ironed, we don't need to tilt, but it's not a waltz.

Symbolic sway (symbolic sway):

There must be some people who think it is unnecessary to tilt when doing the rotation, but this tilt is used to show another effect. The left tilt of the waltz is a good example. The same is true of other foxtrots, such as the feather step and the left-turn ripple step.

0versway:

In some static picture steps, we produce beautiful shapes, lines and inclinations (sometimes without inclinations) purely for decoration, and this inclination has nothing to do with rotation.

Swing:

When it is necessary to tilt, there is a gentle tilting method, which tilts the body part above the ankle, but in some postures, it is more natural to tilt only the body part above the waist. This method is called broken tilting. This is very common when we change direction in foxtrot or waltz (SRR, SLL).

Vienna city swing:

Interestingly, the Viennese waltz, from the previous step (the third step) to the second section of the music, is always tilted.

The influence of judges:

We all know that.

Non-inclined dance steps: axis rotation, rotation, constraint step and lock step are not inclined. In addition, to understand how modern dance skillfully uses power, please read: How modern dance skillfully uses power.
