Therefore, knowing more about western culture is very helpful to jump out of "tasteful Latin dance". Balance between partners, balance of force, balance of center of gravity, six-dimensional space: up and down, left and right, front and back.
In short, balance is everywhere, and balance runs through the dance. As for merengue, it originated in Dominica, with 2 beats per bar. With the hip joint swinging from side to side in turn, it is full of romance, sexiness and charm.

4. What should I pay attention to when learning Latin dance?
I have been learning Latin dance for 8 years. Let me tell you something about it!
First of all, you should know Latin dance! Latin dance is an international standard dance, which originated in Europe and America. At first, it was a dance for middle and lower class people to entertain or get together. Later, because of its unrestrained and passionate movements, it was loved by dancers. At present, Latin dance is developing very well in China!
Latin dance is a highly competitive dance, and dancers who often learn Latin dance will take part in the competition. Latin dance will be more attractive on the field than in other places. It is different from other dances, that is, Latin dance emphasizes the standardization of movements, unlike other dances, which can be played freely with music.
There are five kinds of Latin dances, namely rumba dance, cha-cha, swing dance, samba dance and bullfighting dance, and each dance has its own uniqueness. Let me introduce the characteristics of each dance to you:
Rumba Dance: Each dance step is divided into four beats, 1 is the beat (also called "pause beat"), 2 is the remake, and 3 and 4 are the basic beats. When jumping, start from the second beat. Except 1 beat, every beat has a corresponding action. (Later, you can control the beat according to your own needs, including pause and acceleration. I won't tell you too much here. ) rumba dance is the slowest, and the songs that go with it are also the slowest. But the requirements for dancers are very high-you need to use every part of your body to match the song. Rumba dance moves slowly, giving people a soft and comfortable feeling. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful dance! )
Cha Cha Cha: It's almost like rumba! Each dance step is usually 4 beats. 1 is also a pause beat. Most of the time, no action is taken, 2 is to start shooting, that is, to take a few steps from the second shot, 3 is an action shot, corresponding to a basic action, and 4 is a "cha-cha" shot. This beat is just an important beat. In this beat, a * * * has to do three movements (see the dance for specific movements). Chen Wenjing Cha moves faster than rumba, and of course, her songs are also fast. Pay attention to the coordination of all parts of the body when jumping, so that it looks harmonious! It gives people a feeling of enthusiasm, boldness and exaggeration.
Denim dance: As the name implies, it was created by cowboys from the western United States. The basis of swing dance is jumping. When dancing swing dance, you should pay attention to letting go as much as possible, because this kind of dance gives people an open, hearty and lively feeling. Its steps are relatively simple and there are few actions. I'm not good at jive, so I won't introduce it much.
Samba: Originated from Brazilian aborigines, it is a carnival dance. The main point of samba is to have a flexible middle section (that is, waist), because samba requires dancers to twist their bodies, which will be more comfortable. The steps of samba dance are 4-3 beats. You should be able to understand the music and distinguish which beat begins. Generally speaking, it is a remake in the beat of 1, 3,7, and there is a need for physical extension in the remake. The steps of samba dance are the largest in all Latin dances, with the largest span, and every step should be exaggerated. Coupled with dynamic music, it is a perfect dance! !
Bullfighting dance: imitating the creation of Spanish matador, mostly for two people. When dancing with a partner, the boy is the protagonist and the girl is the "cloak in the matador's hand", so most girls revolve around the boy. Bullfighting dance is characterized by domineering and bluffing. When jumping, stand on tiptoe, the body leans back slightly in a "C" shape, the chin is pressed down, and the body is stretched to the limit. The steps of the bullfighting dance strive to be domineering and steady, just like a matador. Its music is monotonous, just a piece of music. Generally speaking, bullfighting is a kind of dance that Latin dancers rarely touch, because the requirements for dancers are too high, so there are fewer dancers.
To learn Latin dance, we must first learn the basic dance steps. As the name implies, the basic dance steps are the "soul" of Latin dance. Latin dance follows specific music, so the basic requirements for dancing Latin dance well are: first, you must be able to understand music; Secondly, we should be able to perform every movement perfectly (that is, we should be able to remember the movements and move smoothly); Third, dancers are required to have strong performance ability. With a good foundation, dancers can improve their movements (including speed, exaggeration, deformation, etc.) according to their own understanding of Latin dance. ), but that needs more dancers. If you are a beginner, I suggest you learn the basic steps first! After all, some details in Latin dance can't be ignored! Only by learning the basic movements well can we lay a solid foundation for future study! ! !

5. What are the basic essentials of Latin dance?
First, longitudinal traction skills. Also known as posture requirements. That is, when the whole body is relaxed, look for the straight feeling of the ceiling on the top of the head, along the longitudinal traction from the lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae to the top of the head, abdominal distension and chest expansion, flat back, waist and buttocks pulling up, shoulders sinking, knees adducted and perpendicular to the ground.
Second, the aircraft traction skills. This is the key to realize the shift of center of gravity. The point is, no matter front, back, left and right, the legs and feet are driven by the waist and hip: the feet move with you, the body moves with the hips, and the hips move to the body. Even if the body and feet arrive at the same time, does the foot follow you or does the body follow the foot? Different consciousness will bring completely different effects. Only when the feet follow you can the dragon (snake) wag its tail and flow like water. Some people have been dancing for many years, why are they still "stepping on their feet" and "afraid of stepping on their feet"? This is because their bodies move with their feet.
Third, reflexive skills. The so-called reflexivity is to use the rotation consciousness of the waist axis to drive the (incomplete) rotation of the upper body. Its function is to help the human body push out the center of gravity. Once the center of gravity is in place, reflexivity disappears in the natural inclination. Reflection is not only a prelude to the rotating dance step, but also a transition between other dance steps. Without reflexive skills, the body will appear stiff; With reflexivity, the shift of focus will be icing on the cake.
Fourth, tilt skills. The tilt mentioned here is characterized by the deviation of the longitudinal axis of the human body from the longitudinal axis. Its function is to promote the flow of the human body through the strength of the waist axis, and to show the beautiful shape of the curve with reflexive action. Like reflexivity, you need to pay attention to shoulder distortion and waist bending.
Fifth, swing skills. The swing movement realized by waist and hip strength is to increase the walking stride and enhance the flow of the body. In order to get a sense of swing, it is necessary to use the thrust of the soles of the feet to paint the joints while exerting force on the waist and buttocks, so as to realize the movement of the body in the air.
Sixth, lifting skills. Lifting for the purpose of promoting the center of gravity transfer and realizing plane traction, that is, taking the sole of the foot as the center, first make the heel slightly off the ground, gradually straighten the paint cover during the heel rising process, so that the body rises to the highest level, and then make the heel gradually fall to the ground with the bending of the paint joint.

Footsteps, Footpositions and Footsteps in Latin Dance
Today, I will introduce some common terms in Latin dance to you, and understand the meanings of these common terms, which will also make us amateur Latin dance lovers more professional, let professional dance students review and deepen their understanding, and also facilitate communication with Latin dance masters.
The basic unit of a dance is the "step", which consists of "steps".

Foot position: it is the position of each step relative to the field, body or the other foot.
Footwork: the part of the foot that touches the ground when dancing (heel, sole, whole foot movement) and its usage.
Importance of basic dance steps
To learn Latin dance, we must first master the rhythm and style of Latin dance, which is inseparable from the hard training of basic dance steps. Practicing the basic steps is like learning a tune by singing. If the tune is learned and you can sing, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can sing well. If you sing the same song, even if the tune is right, why does the singer sing so beautifully? So is dancing. If you can learn basic skills, it doesn't mean that you have practiced them well. Basic skills are the standard to judge a person's dancing level. So the training of basic skills can't be ignored. Many people are unwilling to practice basic skills, but they are eager to dance well. They just want to jump the routine and are not open-minded, so it is difficult to improve.
Four Priority Principles of Latin Dance
1. Music: Only when the body rhythm conforms to the music rhythm, the dance movements are more attractive.
2. Tacit understanding: How can partners dance with the music? What matters is the tacit understanding of information transmission between two people; That is, we often talk about the coordination of leading and following.
3. Aesthetic feeling: No matter the body posture line, it can be beautiful between any two moving positions.
4. Speed: The focus is not on explosiveness and speed, but on how to make the position of the body more accurate; If you can grasp the position of the beginning and end of the action-stable and accurate, it will naturally look fast.
