Practice methods of Mongolian dance shoulder movements

Hard shoulder is one of the common shoulder movements in Mongolian dance. When performing hard shoulders, dancers stand in a small eight-dimensional posture with their feet, their hands kept hollow, their thumbs rested on their hips, and their shoulders kept relaxed, with their left shoulders forward and their right shoulders backward. The action speed must be fast, and he must feel scared, so as to show the charm of hard shoulders through uninterrupted alternation.

The shoulder movement of soft shoulders is based on hard start, and the dancer's shoulders are raised in a downward arc, and the shoulders are linked back and forth. Over-shoulder in this movement refers to the dancer's shoulders alternating back and forth through rapid retraction on the basis of hard shoulders, and the shoulder movements require short and powerful movements.

Shrugging refers to the action of lifting the shoulders up and down. In this movement, the dancer can lift one shoulder or both shoulders at the same time. When you shrug your shoulders, ask your shoulders to be straight up and down. When you lift it, you need to use force quickly, and when you put it down, you should relax.

In the process of Mongolian dance performance, diversified shoulder movements need different types of breathing rhythm, for example, angular hard shoulder movements. When dancers cross their shoulders back and forth, the breathing rhythm is rapidly improved, and the performers' movements are fully displayed to the audience through fast and powerful shoulder crossing and even steps.

In the process of smiling shoulder expression, the performer's breath control is the same as that of hard shoulder, but the rapid inhalation and exhalation in the up and down direction well shows the generous and optimistic mentality of Mongolian grassland people. But it can reflect the broken shoulder jitter of the dancer's fast breathing and slow breathing rhythm. With the help of short-term inhalation and rapid exertion of local movements, the breath sinking is controlled, and the dancers are driven to shake their shoulders in a fast rhythm, thus creating the characteristic movements of Mongolian dance. As one of the shoulder movements of Mongolian dance, the soft fan is generally combined with the soft arm movement, which stretches the soft shoulder movement beautifully and expresses the tenderness of Mongolian people well.
