There is no special requirement to wear jazz dance, which is similar to ordinary aerobics. The key is to be comfortable. So, what are the basic movements of jazz dance? Let's have a look!

The basic movements of jazz dance

1, the basic movements of jazz dance

1. 1. With the music, step forward or backward with your legs, bend your knees, and push your crotch to one side. Pay attention to hand movements and hip twisting movements to keep your body balanced and beautiful. Kick, kick, kick combination.

1.2, gestures should be coordinated, besides hand movements and body twisting, leg movements are very important. Between advance and retreat, before kicking and after lifting, jumping will make passion appear. Let's rock the hip-twisting group.

1.3, hip sending, waist twisting and body posing are the main features of jazz dance. With the strong music rhythm, twist your hips and twist your body, releasing elegance between advance and retreat.

2. The dance characteristics of jazz dance.

The essence of jazz dance is a free and simple expression, which directly expresses the inner feelings with the shaking, shaking and twisting of the body. Just like when we hear our favorite music, we naturally express our feelings from the heart, and our bodies can't help moving with the rhythm of the music, such as snapping our fingers and swinging our first foot, sometimes excited and sometimes slowly and gently dissolving into the music.

Jazz dance is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance, which belongs to extroverted dance, unlike the introverted dance shown by classical ballet or modern dance.

Jazz dance is mainly a dance that pursues pleasure, liveliness and vitality. Its characteristic is that it can dance freely, unlike traditional classical ballet, which must stick to one form and follow the inherent posture, but it is different from disco dance, which is completely entertaining itself and still has a modern law in freedom.

3. Classification of jazz dance

3. 1, tap dancing

Tap dancing can be said to be the originator of jazz dance. As early as the middle of 1800, tap dance appeared, which inherited the complex and divided rhythm characteristics of African dance. During the prime time of jazz dance from 1920 to 1940, jazz dance is basically equivalent to tap dance, and tap dance is jazz dance. Professional kickers often perform with large jazz bands at this time. Later, due to the change of trend and the development of jazz dance genre, tap dance was gradually regarded as a dance other than jazz dance.

3.2. Stage Jazz Dance

Top hat and hand fight are commonly used props in early jazz dance, but stage jazz dance is not limited to this. Jazz dance on stage is gorgeous in style, accompanied by syncopated jazz music, showing the characteristics of swing. Stage jazz followed the development of Broadway musicals.

3.3, modern jazz dance

Modern jazz dance contains the shadow and action characteristics of ballet and modern dance movements. In addition to the typical jazz-style angular movements and lively limb and trunk movements, smooth and continuous movements are also used to emphasize slender lines and curves. Wrist pressing, style and posture are equally important in stage jazz dance and modern jazz dance.

Learning skills of jazz dance

1, all the head rhythms must be the biggest that you can do. Head strength training must throw all the hair up completely, and the fixed point should be clean and refreshing, not sloppy.

2, arm training must be straight, fast and powerful! Tighten all the arm muscles, including the forearm and fingers, maintain the strength of the arm and tighten your body. Keep still when I touch you or push you casually. No matter what state your fingers are in, you must feel infinitely stretched, which proves that your fingers and body are tightened in place.

3. Ligament training is also a link that I have been improving myself. Many students do better than me, hehe ~ keep your legs straight when pressing, and keep your body close to your legs as much as possible. The more sour the feeling, the more effective it is, and so is the stretching of the arm. You can do ligament stretching in bed after you go back, which is very helpful for girls.

The benefits of children learning jazz dance

1. Enhance children's physique and promote health.

Childhood is the beginning of the whole life and the fastest period of human growth and development. Let children participate in planned and systematic dance training, which can enhance physical fitness, increase physical resistance and reduce the chance of getting sick.

2. Enlighten children's wisdom and stimulate their ability to hide.

There are many ways to cultivate children's imagination, creativity, memory and other intellectual factors, and dance training is undoubtedly an extremely effective one. In children dance, children's gait, gestures and movements are more exaggerated than those in daily life. Children can't be divorced from basic movements in dance performance, but they can choose and design different forms of body expression by themselves, and they can actively, positively and confidently integrate into music and movements.

3. Cultivate children's sentiment and develop their good character.

The cultivation of children's non-intellectual factors such as emotion, aesthetics and will is the key to the healthy growth of children's psychology. In children's dance training with beautiful melody and standardized movements, children can feel the image of music with their bodies and minds in a lively and brisk atmosphere, absorb the positive spiritual connotation contained in the image of music and dance, subtly cultivate sentiment and cultivate good aesthetic ability.
