In general, skill learning is one-on-one between master and apprentice. Among them, the most important one is greeting. At the beginning and end of your study, you must sit down and solemnly bow to each other. At this time, you must fold the towel vertically four times and horizontally twice, put it in front of yourself, and then put a very important fan on it. For people who learn dance, fans are sacred things. It is said that it draws a line between the daily space and the holy land, which has the meaning of Buddhism. This is also the origin of the phrase "Japanese dance must begin with ceremony and end with ceremony".
First, repeat this action.
Imitate the teacher's dance movements. At first, the master stood up and danced, and then the students imitated her movements. When dancing, it will be subdivided into several scenes and repeated many times, such as the part where a young man with a long stick appears on the left side of the stage and the part where a person dances with a long stick.
Second, comments.
Students confirm and correct their behavior in front of the mirror. After remembering a series of actions, the master will have a lot of criticism. The teacher's criticism even includes the use of long sticks and towels, the direction of the head and feet and other subtle parts. Students practice the same movement repeatedly every time.
Third, a full set of exercises
Students dance with the master first, then practice in the second half and try to dance alone. First, after wearing a young man's costume, he danced with a long stick, and then he danced with funny masks for men and women, so that people gradually felt the excitement of the ceremony. Every time you practice for about 40 minutes, there is basically no rest in the middle. After dancing, the salute ends.
