First, the origin of ballroom dancing and ballroom dancing

Social dance, also known as social dance, party dance and social dance, originated in the west.

The origin of ballroom dancing should start with ballroom dancing, which is the full name of international style ballroom dancing. It originated from the folk dances of various countries and was developed on the basis of ancient folk dances.

1 1 In the 2nd century, some European countries refined and standardized some folk dances, which became the popular "court dance" in the court. It is elegant, complex, formal and artificial, losing the style of folk dance. It is only popular in the court, and it is the privilege of nobles to learn and appreciate it. After the French Revolution, the court disintegrated, and the "court dance" also entered the civilian society and became a ballroom dance that everyone in the society could dance. The first ballroom appeared in Paris, and since then, ballroom dancing has become popular in European society. At this time, it has a strong national flavor and is called American school ballroom dancing.

Because ballroom dancing requires very strict dance and dance steps, it has a relatively low requirement, which maintains various styles of ballroom dancing, but is more casual. Nevertheless, ballroom dancing still has its own requirements, which should reflect the styles of various dances and be free and easy. As early as 2004, ballroom dancing was introduced to several big cities and trading ports in China. In the early days of liberation, ballroom dancing was still very popular in China in the 1950s and 1960s. After the Cultural Revolution was suspended, it was accepted by the masses again in 1980s, but it was far behind the world standard dance.

Influenced by Gong Ting dance, ballroom dancing is called European ballroom dancing with its solemn and elegant dance style, rigorous and standardized dance steps and gentlemanly demeanor.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 0/9th century, due to the rise of the United States, ballroom dancing popular in Europe was introduced to the United States with European immigrants. At the same time, a large number of immigrants from Latin America also brought folk dances with strong tropical style, which came directly from the people and were not influenced by court dances, and their forms were more free.

Second, matters that should be paid attention to when dancing ballroom dancing

There are many places to pay attention to in ballroom dancing. Everyone should know the most basic rules, otherwise, it will make a joke.

First of all, the problem of dance line. Ballrooms are mostly rectangular or square, so the dance line should move counterclockwise along the edge of the dance floor. That is to say, no matter what you do, you have to move forward, backward or rotate ... but the third time you and your partner should move counterclockwise around the dance floor. When a man invites a female partner, he should face the dance line and pose with his left foot first. The lady drew back her right foot one by one, and then made various patterns according to the type of dance music and the beat of music. No matter what kind of dance, like slow three, Slow Four, Tango, Fast Three, Fast Four. ...

Third, the dance of ballroom dancing

Ballroom dancing is the most important thing. Only when you dance correctly can you show the styles and tastes of all kinds of dances. Only when you dance correctly can you improve your ballroom dancing. Many people dance incorrectly on the dance floor, which hinders their expressiveness. For beginners, you must pay attention to your dance. At first, you may feel uncomfortable, but after a while, you will feel natural. Social dancing can cultivate your appearance and demeanor, and correct dancing can make you have a good sitting posture and standing posture in your life. Let's take a look at the dance styles of male and female partners.

Both men and women should hold their chest and abdomen, expand their shoulders and chin, and look straight ahead. This is the basic requirement. In particular, shoulder expansion means that your shoulders should be opened, and many people are sitting in life. Immediately, their shoulders shrank and their chests stopped lifting, resulting in hunchbacks. Next, the man spreads his arms horizontally and lifts his left forearm so that the forearm is about 65 degrees from the upper arm. The thumb is flush with the eyebrows. The four fingers of the left hand are close together, the chin is open, and the female companion puts the four fingers of the right hand together on the man's chin. Then, the male left hand and the female right hand gently shake hands. The male right hand is placed under the female partner's left scapula, and the female partner's left hand is opened, aiming at the male partner's right upper arm deltoid muscle and gently placed under the male shoulder. The male and female partners put their feet together, and the female partner stood slightly on the right side of the man. nbsp

In this way, with the correct dance, everyone can dance the national standard dance well.

Fourth, about courage.

There are many key problems in ballroom dancing, but the biggest headache is the "courage" of beginners. Several of my friends have been "learning" dance skills from me for a long time, but every time I drag him to the dance floor, I always shirk it for various reasons, either to learn or to be treated by others. Next time, .......................................................................................... will definitely go ... In fact, they have learned almost everything. What they lack is to practice on the dance floor. I have also taught many people to dance. Every time I ask a boy to invite a date, everyone is coy and finally has to dance "fast dance"-boys dance with boys and girls dance with girls. In fact, this learning method has many disadvantages, which is not conducive to learning ballroom dancing well.

The reason why boys are afraid to ask girls to dance is that they are afraid of being rejected. It happened that HKUST girls were born a little "arrogant" (girls should not attack me when they saw it, but "arrogant" girls have character! ), so people are more and more afraid to invite them to dance. In fact, the reason why the girl refused may be because she is a beginner herself. Although she wanted to dance very much, she said no shyly, and she succeeded by inviting more times. Maybe it's because she just quarreled with her boyfriend. She was angry and didn't invite her ... It's normal to be rejected. Therefore, boys must not be ashamed, and they can learn ballroom dancing with courage.

I also want to tell the girls that we are all friends on the dance floor. Since the boy has come to ask you to dance, please follow him boldly and don't hurt our "self-esteem"!

Five, the three elements of ballroom dancing

Dance, music and dance steps are the three elements of ballroom dancing. If you want to dance well, you must master these three elements. Among these three elements, dance is the most important, followed by music and dance steps.

(1) Dance

In my opinion, the most important thing in ballroom dancing is dancing, and the correct dance posture has been mentioned in (3). It is not difficult to set the correct dance posture. The key is to always have a good dance posture in the process of dancing. The most basic thing is that two people can't see their feet. There are many friends, especially novices, who are far away from each other when dancing, hunching their backs, lowering their heads and looking at their feet. This posture is ugly. As I said before, don't be afraid to step on each other's feet. Generally speaking, as long as you have the right dance, listen to music and take good steps, this will not happen. Moreover, the man's elbow must be raised according to the correct dance requirements, not caught in the middle of the waist, otherwise it will appear stingy. Of course, this dance is very tiring, but you and the onlookers look comfortable.

② Music

With the right dance, listening to songs becomes the most important thing. Every dance music has its own rhythm. A measure of three beats is called three steps, and a measure of four beats is called four steps. Like slow three and Kuaisan, they all belong to three steps. When it rings, friends often ask, is this three steps or four steps? Some people have a strong sense of music, which is easy to hear, while others have a poor sense of music, which is not so easy. If you have a good sense of music, you feel comfortable dancing. Otherwise, although there are many tricks, it is awkward for others not to step on the rhythm. To cultivate a sense of music, everyone needs to listen to more music, four steps of flowing songs and three steps of waltz. ...

(3) Dance steps

Every dance has its own steps, and there are many kinds of patterns, but they are all the same. Only by mastering the basic steps, it is not difficult to master complicated tricks.

Six, about boys

Ballroom dancing has different requirements for boys and girls, especially boys.

First of all, after the boy invited his partner, he led her to the edge of the dance floor and posed for his own dance line. Listening to the music, the man's left foot is forward and the woman's right foot is backward, and this dance begins.

When dancing ballroom dancing, because the girl we invited probably doesn't know her, or maybe she doesn't have certain skills, let her and your partner make all kinds of tricks. Boys must be confident, generous and gentleman, especially when dancing, don't bow your head. When dancing, they must raise their elbows to look generous and not stingy.

We discussed the correct dance before. We can find that boys' dancing actually shows that we are active when dancing. Dance requires the male partner to hold the female partner's right hand with his left hand, and the right hand is under the female partner's left scapula. It is the male partner who controls the forward and backward direction and rotation strength of the female partner through the strength difference of these two hands. For example, our left hand pushes forward and the second half of our right palm exerts force. When our left hand is pulled backward and the first half of the right palm is forced, the female partner rotates counterclockwise. ...

In a word, as a boy, there is no way to avoid the protagonist of ballroom dancing. From the time you invite your partner, you need a male partner to decide the music, the choice of going forward and backward, and the dancing method of patterns. Therefore, you must not be timid when dancing the national standard dance, but show a gentleman's demeanor. Of course, the skill of leading the dance will not be understood and mastered until everyone is skilled in dancing.

Seven, about girls

We talked about what boys should pay attention to on the dance floor, so let's talk about what girls should pay attention to.

Similarly, girls have to overcome shyness in ballroom dancing. If a boy asks you to dance, you should naturally follow him to the edge of the dance floor, pose and finish the dance with your partner. Never back down and shout "I won't!" When the boy asks you to dance. In case you are in a bad mood or you are really tired from one last dance, you should say thank you politely, refuse politely and respect each other, which is very important on the dance floor.

We say that in ballroom dancing, boys are active, so girls are dominant.

As a dancer, it is decided that in the process of ballroom dancing, under the guidance of a male partner, you can move forward, backward, rotate, shape ... and you can't have your own ideas. Sometimes, on the dance floor, friends often tell me that this girl is easy to take, but that girl can't take it up ... not that the girl who takes it well dances well, on the contrary. Many girls who dance well are not so easy to take. This is because girls who dance well may take a male step and usually teach their friends to dance, so they have the initiative. However, when leading the dance on the dance floor, I often can't help dancing with my male partner, which makes him feel at a loss, so it makes people feel uncomfortable.

In short, as a female partner, while paying attention to your own dance, you should always remember that you should naturally follow him to the edge of the dance floor, pose and finish this dance with your male partner. You are the lead dancer, and all the movements and patterns are completed under the leadership of the male partner. It is precisely because of your different roles that fees are often reflected. The ballroom dancing training class requires money from men.

Finally, the dance ended, and the two sides thanked each other and parted. It is only formal for a man to escort a woman to her seat, but everyone is young, so it is not so formal.

Eight, slow three

Among the dances, slow three Slow Four is the most danced by everyone, and slow three is one of the most basic dances, which is the basis of other dances. This is because the techniques used in other dances are all applied in slow three. Slow three belongs to three steps, three steps, thinking about the name and meaning, that is, each bar has three beats. Its stress is weak in the first beat and the last two beats. The rhythm is "strong, weak, weak". After the man invites his female companion, he poses, the male companion moves forward with his left foot and the female companion moves backward with his right foot. Therefore, in slow three, for men, the stress of the first bar is on the left foot, the stress of the second bar is changed to the right foot, and then the left and right feet are rotated. For the female companion, the force of the first bar is on the right foot, the force of the second bar is changed to the left foot, and then it rotates. This is very different from Slow Four.

Slow three's simplest dance step is the straight step. Beginners often think it's dancing and don't know where to put their feet. Actually, it's similar to walking, only with an understanding of music. For slow three, we say that the first beat, that is, the second beat, is bigger, and the second beat or the third beat is weak, so adjust the pace. When a man steps out, he should straighten forward. Some beginners walk sideways for fear of stepping on his female companion's feet, which is inconsistent with slow three's jumping method. Looks ugly again. In fact, as long as both men and women advance or retreat at the same time according to the rhythm of music, they will not step on each other's feet. Slow three-in-one internal rotation is also one of the basic steps. Male and female dancers leave their left feet first, and female dancers leave their right feet first. First, the female dancer leaves her right foot sideways, and the male dancer leaves her left foot between her partner's feet. At this time, the male partner takes the left foot as the axis and the female partner takes the right foot as the axis. After rotating 180 degrees, the male partner's right foot retreats and the female partner's left foot advances. This is the second beat. In the last beat, the male partner's left foot retreats, the right foot is left, the female partner's right foot advances, and the left foot is right, and the two dance together. Note that after rotating 180 degrees, in order to keep the direction of the dance line, the male partner should jump back.

The basic steps are actually very simple. All models are evolved from basic steps. Only by mastering the basic steps can we better master more modes. Of course, these are all on paper, and we need to learn more from the "dance" masters. This is the real thing.

Nine, slow four

Like slow three, from its name, we can think that the rhythm of slow four is four beats, and the stress is one beat or three beats, or the first beat. Unlike slow three, slow three's stress is in the first beat. Because it's an odd beat, the stress rotates on the left and right feet, but the slow four is different. Because it is an even beat, the stress is always on the left foot. Of course, for boys, the pressure of girls is always on their right feet.

There are two basic ways of slow jump, one is equal interval jump, and the other is slow jump and fast jump. No matter which way you jump, the principle you should follow should be:

Slow fourth is a slow-paced dance, which should be leisurely and elegant. Unlike slow three, the slow four ups and downs are not obvious, so to speak, it is not. Four beats and one bar are obviously more comfortable than slow three. Generally speaking, Slow Four is much easier to jump than slow three. Therefore, the dance music slow by four is always more than that slow by three, and most of them are slow by four. We can use the equal interval jump method. According to the rhythm of the dance music, beat four bars and take one step for each bar. As for dancing and so on. , and slow three's. When walking straight, the first two beats can be slightly cut and the last two beats can be adjusted. It should be noted that for boys, the pressure is always on their left foot. (girl's right foot)

When the rhythm of the dance music is slightly faster, the method of two slowdowns and one fast jump can be adopted, that is, the slow beat includes two beats of the dance music, and the fast beat includes one beat. In this way, a bar actually contains six beats. Like slow three, from its name, we can think that the rhythm of slow four beats is a bar, and its stress is one, three beats, or the first beat. Because it is an odd beat, the stress alternates between the left and right feet, but the slow four is different. Because it is an even beat, the stress is always on the left foot. Of course, for boys, the pressure of girls is always on their right feet.

Beginners can slow down four times before jumping, which is easy to learn and jump. Of course, the second jump has a strong sense of rhythm and many patterns.

Ten, three and tango

Of all the ballroom dances, Kuai San Dance is the most difficult. Whether the fast three dances are good or not reflects a person's standard dance. Fast three belongs to three steps, naturally it is a measure of three beats, and the stress is in the first beat. But because it's Grade Three, it shows that it's much faster than slow three. The dance of almost three is slightly different from that of slow three. It turns out that the boy's right hand is under the girl's left scapula, when he jumps fast in grade three. The right hand can move slightly to the left and back, probably to the center of the girl's spine, and the men and women should not be separated too far. This is because in the third jump, most of the time it is a fast rotation, which is convenient for boys to drive girls to rotate hard.

The pace of "fast three" is very simple, and only internal rotation is commonly used. Although the jumping method is the same as that of slow three, the rhythm of "Fast Three" is much faster than that of slow three, so if it is still the same as that of slow three, it is impossible to keep up with the rhythm by jumping three steps with three beats. So when jumping fast three, we say three steps, do two steps, and the most important thing is to move the center of gravity. First, the boy puts his left foot between the girl's feet, and the boy lifts his right foot slightly. The center of gravity is on the left foot. The girl lifts her left foot slightly and the center of gravity is on her right foot. Boys take their left foot as the axis, girls take their right foot as the axis, and rotate counterclockwise 180 degrees. At this time, the center of gravity remains the same. The boy's right foot and the girl's left foot are next to each other's feet, and the toes touch the ground, but they do not support the body. The boy's center of gravity is still on his left foot, and the girl's center of gravity is still on her right foot, thus completing the next paragraph. The boy's right foot retreats and the girl's left foot advances, just like the previous dance. It can be seen that the dance in Grade Three is relatively simple, but its rapid rotation determines that it is a difficult dance, but it is not difficult to master as long as you practice a lot. In the national standard, Kuaisan is called Viennese waltz, which is a three-step dance, but the dance method is slightly different from that of slow three, which will be introduced in the next series of lectures on national standard dance.

Let's talk briefly about tango.

With the evolution of time and the habits of the masses, the taste of social tango is far less than the national standard. Nevertheless, when watching Social Tango, we can still see the vigorous and cadence style.

Social tango steps are a bit like slow four, but not as smooth and angular as slow four.

Eleven, sailors, rumba and cha-cha

These three dances are different from slow three's Slow Four. They are quite different from the ballroom dancing we mentioned earlier in dance style and requirements. All three dances are similar. We mainly say sailors. Sailor dance was originally a dance of sailors on American warships. At first, two men danced with each other. Despite the American naval expedition, sailor dance was brought to all parts of the world. It has become a dance for men and women. Sailor dance is lively and energetic. The music used is fast-paced music like disco. But the authentic sailor dance should be six beats per bar, and we often dance four beats per bar, which is actually called "handle", but four beats per bar is obviously beneficial for us to master.

Let's talk about the sailor dance first: male and female dancers stand face to face, male partners open their hands, palms up, female partners open their hands, palms down, and male and female partners hold hands. The basic dance steps of male and female dancers are the same. The left foot is taken forward first (with the right foot, depending on the habit), the right foot is taken in place second, and the third row of the left foot is backward. The fourth beat is to hit the right foot in the same place, and then the two exchange places. These are two basic footwork of sailor dance, and the pattern comes from both hands completely, that is, it depends entirely on the size and direction of boys' hands to guide girls to make all kinds of beautiful patterns. There is a saying: sailors dance well, and it seems that female companions are the best; If you can't dance well, it's your date's fault. We male compatriots must master the skills of bringing people.

Although social rumba inherits the dance style of national standard dance, it is completely different from national standard dance in dance style and dance steps. Social rumba has the same dance style as sailors, and the basic steps are very special. The crotch is used to drive the thigh to move sideways. In the process of four beats in one bar, the crotch is just drawn on the vertical plane. Beginners are not used to rumba, because it is different from ordinary ballroom dancing and difficult to master.

It also evolved from the national standard, but the social reality completely misinterprets the connotation of the national standard dance, which is exactly the same. We also talked about it in the national standard dance.

Notes on international standard ballroom dancing skills;

Head: Facing the dance line or visually, the partner is upright and firm.

Shoulders: horizontal and vertical, consistent with the head and neck. The male partner can use the shoulder signal to drive the female partner to keep the posture stable, and the male partner is more labor-saving.

Chest: Two people are separated by one punch. If it is too far away, it is easy to separate when rotating, and the posture will be out of shape. If they get too close, they will be separated! #%@%$#@^$#%^#^% :[

Back: It's too tiring to pull your back with your chest. Anyway, it can't be humpbacked, or 190%=% 150.

Hand: the tightness is moderate, and the palm is not firmly pressed. Give priority to the roots of fingers, supplemented by the edges of fingers and palms, and make a gesture when necessary.

Elbow: naturally droop, and it is also possible to do some exaggerated movements after proficiency.

Waist: test the strength of waist, the strength of bf and the flexibility of gf when doing big moves.

Abdomen: The coach always says that two people's abdomens seem to stick together, and they will not be eccentric in continuous circles, which is stable and has a high rotation speed.

Hip: you can't swing from side to side and jump up and down. In addition to special dance steps, you can move gravity smoothly between your feet with the rhythm.

Knee: In order to ensure smooth movement when striding, it is sometimes necessary to bend the knee for adjustment, but jumping is not allowed.

Interception: the key to mastering the ups and downs of dance steps, and completing the transformation of low, high and high postures (standing feet) with your knees.

Toes: Grasping the ground is very important, with a keen sense of touch, and the feet can grasp the direction when standing.

Dance etiquette:

Title: ballroom etiquette

Picture:

Ladies and men attending the dance should decorate a little, which is not only a respect for themselves, but also a respect for others. In fact, it is hard for us to imagine that unkempt people will be welcomed. The principle of dress should be neatness and propriety. For example, men should wear trousers, leather shoes and jeans, which are not recommended equipment. Sports shoes are best left to the stadium. Strangely, I have seen the hero in shorts in Xiti, and I don't know who it is! ! If you wear a shirt, you'd better button your collar and cuffs. Ladies are much more casual. Of course, long skirts and shoes with a little heel are the mainstream choices. In addition, the atmosphere of the party is mainly set off by ladies, so bright clothes and plain colors are also good choices. If you have a second opinion, please advise.

Title: One thing to pay attention to when learning dance for the first time.

If you dance well, you feel comfortable, and it is also a pleasure for others to watch. But if you can't dance well and can't find your own feelings, others will feel uncomfortable. If you want to dance well, you must pay attention to your dance from the beginning. I think the requirements of dancing can be summarized as: chest and abdomen, hips, shoulders and elbows. Falling doesn't mean holding your arms. For boys, the right hand is higher than the elbow, and the elbow is higher than the hand. Let your body form be an organic whole, and don't slack off. So your center of gravity is fixed and stable.

Topic: Can I invite you to dance? zigzag

The dance floor is a concentrated society, where the desire to make friends and find bosom friends can be satisfied. Therefore, it is of great benefit to master a little knowledge of dance floor and study the psychology of dancers. For gay men, if you want to find a suitable partner, you can generally refer to the following points.

First, when you come to the dance floor, if you don't have a partner, you'd better sit down and wait for a tune or two, not only to adapt to the atmosphere of the dance floor and stimulate your passion; Besides, you can also observe the guests and find your favorite partner. Generally speaking, it is best for a desirable partner to have the following points: First, the age and figure should be as close as possible, otherwise the disparity is too large, which will make dancers feel embarrassed, and at the same time limit the change of dance posture and affect their interest; Second, the temperament of two people is roughly the same, and it is easy to have a good impression on each other; Third, the difference in dancing skills should not be too big, which will affect the pleasure and technical play of the two.

Second, it's best to invite people without partners. It's easy to see that such people often don't dance every song, but look around (that's looking for a suitable partner). The most obvious thing is that two lesbians dance. You can safely invite her first, because this is a signal that the other party asks for "companionship".

Third, it is better to invite a couple's female companion less. Because lovers are often exclusive, they come to the dance floor not only for entertainment, but more importantly to show intimacy to satisfy their joy in love. If you insist on asking her to dance, you'd better ask the man's permission first, and then ask the woman.

Fourth, when choosing a partner, we should also "look ahead and look back". Don't specially invite some beautiful girls. Beautiful girls are often arrogant and lofty. This can easily lead to difficulties. Second, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of other girls, and may even make people misunderstand that you are alone.

Fifth, don't rush for success. When a person is appreciated by everyone, many people will scramble to invite her. At this time, instead of trying to "struggle", you should create more opportunities to dance with others. If you have ulterior motives or want to dance with her, you should be bold and show persistence. In this way, the girl may dance with you, because your appearance satisfies the inherent vanity of women. However, she

One is the direct method, that is, go directly to the person you want to invite and say politely, "May I dance with you?" But when you go to her, she has already been invited, so you shouldn't compete for a partner, which is very rude. The correct way is to nod. If you ask to invite her next time, she will generally not refuse.

One is the indirect method. If you feel inconvenient or uncertain, ask directly, and you can ask indirectly in different ways. For example, through your matchmaking with her acquaintances, or when you are dancing with others, you deliberately turn to her and nod. If you think this partner is to your liking in dancing and want to dance with her a few times, at the end of a song, you can politely send her to the place where she got up and say a few words of praise to her dancing.

It is worth mentioning that when choosing a partner, one should be bold and the other should be cautious. Boldness means that you are not afraid of anyone you want to invite. When you come to the dance floor, you are all ready to dance and psychologically ready to accept invitations from others. If you are timid, you will only miss the opportunity and let your partner drift away. The so-called caution means not only thinking about how to invite others, but also not ignoring that you are the object of invitation. Many young women want to. However, out of shyness, people often dare not show it clearly, but show it imperceptibly, such as looking into your eyes, smiling at you, chatting with you and so on when they should be looking at you. At this time, you should react quickly, seize the opportunity to ask them to dance and spend a happy time with you.

Topic: zz that you must know when inviting your partner.

Do you feel embarrassed when you invite a beautiful girl to dance but are rejected? So, why did she turn you down? There are several possibilities.

She can't dance.

She doesn't want to dance.

You are not a gentleman, and people don't like you.

If it is the first two points. Well, I can't help it. But if it is the latter, you should pay attention. How can I be polite so that the other party can't refuse?

1 Reach out with one arm, arms forward, palms up, and bend about 45 degrees. Put your other hand behind your back. This gesture shows your respect for the lady. It is the embodiment of your personal accomplishment.

Be sure to clean your hands before asking your partner to dance. The action is both natural and unrestrained, and it will not make the other party feel disgusted. In a formal ballroom, you may not pay much attention. But it is likely to make the other party feel disgusted.

At the end of the dance, you should thank each other politely, which is also an external manifestation of your self-restraint.

All the above experiences have been refined by the dancing king for many years. A thoughtful friend should read it. (Note: The above experience does not apply to underground dance halls at all! )

Say it again: I think it's two
