How to learn belly dancing 1 How to learn belly dancing correctly

Basic stance is a crucial lesson for all dance learners, and it is also the cornerstone of dance learning, and belly dancing is no exception.

However, many belly dance learners often ignore this truth, pay full attention to the learning of belly dance movements, pay little attention to the basic posture, and do not correct even if there are problems.

At the beginning, because of the simple movements, this problem will not have much impact at first.

But when they jump to higher skills, these problems will become more and more obvious. It will be more difficult to change bad standing habits at that time.

To avoid the above situation, when learning belly dancing, you should master the correct standing posture from the beginning.

The basic posture of belly dancing

The basic posture of belly dance _ head and neck: the neck is upright, the head is straight, and the top of the head drives the cervical and thoracic vertebrae to stretch upwards.

Basic posture of belly dance _ Shoulder: Shoulders open backward and sink downward.

Basic posture of belly dance _ arm: the arm is stretched to both sides of the body, the elbow sinks slightly, flush with the chest line, the palm is down, and the fingertips are stretched.

Basic posture of belly dance _ chest: The chest is slightly raised, but be careful not to stand up and let the stomach adduction comfortably.

Basic posture of belly dance _ pelvis: the lower abdomen contracts slightly, so that the pelvis position is positive and the coccyx is perpendicular to the ground.

Basic posture of belly dance _ Legs: The knees are slightly flexed, and the direction of the knees is consistent with the direction of the toes, pointing straight ahead.

Basic posture of belly dance _ Foot position: feet are separated by one punch and a half wide, toes point straight ahead, feet are flat, and feet press down on the ground.

Basic posture of belly dance _ center of gravity: the center of gravity is evenly distributed between the feet.

Learning any kind of dance is inseparable from listening and practicing the sound characteristics of each instrument. For oriental dance, this exercise is to understand the rhythm, melody and strength of different instruments.

If you continue to understand these elements and regard them as a part of your body, dance itself becomes a form of expressing your inner feelings, your sexiness and personal charm. In other words, it is not just a general term for posture and mechanical action.

Play a music that you like very much, because you will listen to it many times. In fact, never dance to music that can't move you. If you do this, it will be difficult to dance with the soul. You'd better give up at once.

Lie on the ground and relax as much as possible. Listen to it several times until the music keeps ringing in your ears. Don't analyze music, but feel it with every part of your body. Let your feelings flow naturally; Ask yourself whether you feel them, whether they arouse your happiness, sadness or sadness, etc.

Listen to this piece of music again and try to feel its order with your body. Don't think about anything, just sleep in the feeling. Then, play the music again, focus on the rhythm and feel it again. I feel my heart beating and my muscles shaking with the beat.

Play this piece of music again and pay attention to the power of music. Pay attention to the change of rhythm, the rhythm of melody and other interesting and attractive elements. Imagine how you would express these things physically. If you already know the basic steps of dancing, you can try to go over them in your mind.

4. Repeat the above exercises with different styles, pay attention, and try to shorten the dance steps or basic movements according to the strength of the music. Invest in your emotional and physical reactions. What motivates you the most? What changes and conflicts has music brought to you? How would you react? How do you feel when you hear music?

It takes time to master these feelings, if you really want to understand and learn to enter the oriental dance. Try to be patient with yourself and completely let go of your body and mind in front of music. With a little practice, you will gradually begin to understand this dance in your mind. One day, you will forget yourself and dance freely. In addition, in order to understand belly dancing, it is necessary to strengthen the flexibility of joints.

How to learn belly dancing II. Some misunderstandings about belly dancing.

Misunderstanding 1. Shy, afraid to jump, unable to let go of the action.

This is the first level for every beginner, and it is also the most basic problem that must be overcome when learning belly dancing or other dances. No matter what you do, practice is the most important thing, especially learning to dance. If you don't dance, you can't dance well.

Myth 2: I don't like jumping in the mirror.

Some dancers are immersed in their own world when they dance, and they will never realize the quality of their dance. Dance is a sport that needs constant improvement. You have to find your own shortcomings, and the mirror can make you progress continuously.

Therefore, when learning to dance, you must dance in front of the mirror, so as to improve your own shortcomings in time. Of course, if you have a good basic skill and a solid dance, you need to perform more and compete more. Exercise yourself and improve yourself.

Myth 3: Only pursue technology, not feeling. Only pursue action, ignore music.

This is a mistake that many students are prone to make after practicing at a certain stage. Many students will feel a sense of accomplishment after practicing a difficult movement, or ignore the feeling of dancing in order to practice a complete finished dance (that is, the feeling of dancing).

In that case, I suggest you learn aerobic exercise. Remember, you are dancing, not acrobatics or aerobics. Every dance movement is inseparable from music. Belly dancing means that you should listen to this music and act accordingly at once. The body should dance with music, and dancing without music is not infectious. When practicing, you should listen to music with 70% of your energy, and give the rest 30% to your body.

Myth 4: You can't master the beat and understand the soul.

Beat:

First of all, you must understand music, and the beat is very important. Students who just started dancing can't keep up with the beat, and every time they come out, their movements will be faster than the music beat, which leads to the dance having nothing to do with the music and the effect is fragmented.

The exercise is simple. We emphasize that any dance must be combined with music. We will do warm-up exercises before class, and then listen to music.

Please remember:

Listen to the beat and melody of music wholeheartedly. The advantage of doing this is to let the music bring you a state of being divorced from real life and completely enter the music, which makes you feel very comfortable!

How to keep up with the beat is actually very simple, and every movement of preparing for exercise is also related to the beat of music! Every beat clearly appears in our ears, but whether you listen attentively or not. When making every preparation, we will hear the sound of "bang" and "bang" in the music, which is the case with conventional music.

Soul (soul):

Also practice for preparing for sports. After the music is released, you can feel it wholeheartedly and feel what you feel when you hear it. Generally speaking, music can make people feel sad and imaginative. Similarly, how do you feel after hearing this song? This is called a sense of dance! Combine your basic feelings with your mood and actions, and release your inner activities, and your actions will have vitality. Remember: first of all, you have to move yourself, and then the people who watch you dance will be moved by you!

So a good dancer is very selfless when dancing. Basic training songs can make people feel most comfortable. Students can feel what is in the song. Of course, everyone feels differently. For example, when a piece of music is released, some people feel very positive, and there is an impulse in it. Some people feel that they think of the scene of breaking up before, which is their understanding of music feelings.

A good dancer can express everything he understands and related to dance. What can really do this is not a good dancer, but an artist. The level of dancers is not to see who looks good, but to see who can show more and more perfect music! Of course, expressing musical feelings requires good basic skills and rich understanding of music!
