The main feature of Latin dance is the eight-character crotch.

The first point is to keep your shoulders flat and don't sway from side to side.

The second point is that the feet are small and splayed, and the heels touch each other. When twisting, the heel should not leave the ground.

Third, the waist is pulled to the limit like a towel.

Over time, you can jump out of very beautiful crotch movements.

Second, accurately grasp the three elements of Latin dance body movements:

(1) Soul: When dancing, it is not just the foot movement, but the body movement should be used instead of the foot movement, and the posture after the movement should be extended from the inside out.

(2) Sexy: Latin dance must be a * * * dance of a man and a woman, and most dance themes show the actions of two people attracting or seducing each other, so it can be expressed by music control, facial expressions, eyes and body movements. The lecturer also demonstrated and explained with samba, cha cha cha and rumba, because these three dance subjects can better show the love story between men and women.

(3) Balance: All balance movements are emitted from the center of the body. In the continuous rotation, the speed should be gradually reduced from slow to fast, and the center of gravity should be between the open feet, not in front or too far away from the queen mother. The foot movements should not be too big or too small to be out of balance, so it is necessary to keep practicing to find out the appropriate footstep position.

Third, finally dance Latin well.

The most important thing in Latin dance is emotion, not only dance, but also music. The lingering rumba is just cheerful, the samba is unrestrained, the bullfight is fierce and the cowboy is lively. It is a combination of dance and music, so it is very important to have feelings ... Basic skills are also very important, although not as beautiful as routines, but it is the foundation. Teachers must pay attention to feet, hips and cowboys when teaching basic movements. ..

Latin dance is actually a beautiful dance. Latin dance can be divided into rumba, cha-cha, jive, bullfight and samba.

Five Latin dances have their own styles: samba's passion, cha-cha's liveliness, rumba's elegance, bullfighting, and cowboy's fun. Different styles, the most important thing is to grasp the connotation.

The most representative dance in Latin dance is rumba, which is known as the "soul of Latin". People who learn Latin dance usually learn rumba as the first dance. Rumba is a kind of dance that expresses the love story between men and women, so its music is soft and touching, and its movements can make female companions fully show the feminine charm and the curvy beauty of hips and hips. It is very beautiful to be at arm's length between men and women. Another representative dance, which originated in Mexico, has many similarities with rumba, but it is playful and cheerful, completely different from rumba style, handsome and full of energy.

For beginners, it is suggested to focus on the basic steps, which seems simple, but not many people really do it well. Don't think that the basic dance steps in a few beats are so simple, there is a lot of knowledge in them. It is important to get that feeling by learning Latin dance steps.

When dancing Latin dance, the state of the human body should be divided into three parts.

1. The upper body, especially the shoulders, should stand well, which reflects the nobility of the Spanish and the essence of white culture in Latin dance.

2. The middle part of the body, including the waist and crotch, should be twisted heartily, showing the lively and extroverted characteristics of African culture.

The movements of the lower body, legs and feet originated from Indian culture, and some dance steps in Latin dance also originated from this.

Therefore, if you want to dance Latin dance well, you must have a good understanding of these three characteristics, and it is not easy to integrate diversified personality into body language.

Rumba and cha-cha:

1. Stand with your feet together naturally and easily.

2. Hold your chest, straighten your spine, and don't shrug.

3. Take a step sideways with either foot, straighten the other foot that supports the center of gravity, and move all the weight to this foot, so that the pelvis can move sideways, so that the weight is placed on the heel of the supporting foot, and the knee should be locked backwards. As for the range of pelvic movement, it should be based on the principle of not affecting the upper body posture.

Samba and cowboy:

1. Stand with your feet together naturally and easily.

2. Hold your chest, keep your waist straight, and don't shrug.

3. Either foot takes a step outward, and the other foot supporting the center of gravity is straightened, and all the weight is moved to this one, so that the weight moves forward to the forefoot, while the heel is still off the ground, and the knee supporting the foot cannot be locked backwards. Some dance steps are exceptions, such as fractional rock step, back step and fold step in samba, and chicken step in swing dance.

Because Spanish bullfighting has no pelvis or hip movement, its posture is different from the above Latin dance as follows:

1. The pelvis leans forward slightly.

2. The weight is borne equally by the two soles.

3. When the feet are straight, the knees should not be fastened backwards. Except for one example, that is Spanish dance.
