Lead: There are many basic steps in children's dance. The following are the basic steps of children's dance that I have carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to them!

1, tiptoe forward.

Tiptoe practice is a good posture to train children to dance, and it also lays a good foundation for learning broken steps. Because standing on tiptoe (also known as lift heel) can hold your head up, chest out and abdomen in order to make your body have a good posture. When practicing, stand on tiptoe and walk forward. Because children have poor control and are prone to fatigue, so don't practice too long and move too slowly. Generally, hands rested on her hips, according to the rhythm and pace of music. When walking on tiptoe, it is generally appropriate to take 2/4 or 4/4 beats of music, and 3/4 beats of music is also acceptable, but it is not advisable to use it more.

Step 2: Jump step

Heel-lift jumping is also called jumping. When doing the action, stand with your feet together, squat slightly to prepare, jump one or two steps at a time, and jump gently according to the nature and rhythm of the music. When falling, the forefoot touches the ground, and the knees are bent and elastic. 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4 beats of music can be used for jumping, but it must be music with jumping sound.

Step 3 walk in small steps, run in small steps

The action of walking in broken steps is to stand on tiptoe, the forefoot moves forward quickly in turn, and the knees are slightly bent.

In the first half of each beat, the left foot runs a small step forward, the right foot is off the ground, and the knee is slightly bent; In the second half, the right foot takes a small step forward, the left foot is off the ground, and the knee is slightly flexed, alternately moving forward. When running, your hands are akimbo or swing naturally, the steps should be small and light, and the speed should be even.

Footsteps are not limited by the beat of music. But the trot must take two steps at a time, so the trot usually takes 2/4 or 4/4 beats of music. In order to train children to listen to music and change their movements, they can practice walking and running in the same music to improve their sensitivity to music.

Step 4 slip

Sliding is to walk to the side step by step. In the first half, the left foot slipped to the left, and in the second half, the left foot jumped slightly, and the right foot quickly joined the left foot. The right foot movement is the same as above, but in the opposite direction.

Step by step and step by step are two basic steps commonly used in children's dance. It's all two beats at a time.

Step-by-step jump is the first step for the left foot; The second beat bends the left knee, and the tip of the right foot points behind the left heel. The third and fourth beats, starting from the right foot, are symmetrical. Step step generally steps left or right (also called side step), and can also step forward or backward.

There are three ways to jump: the first way is to jump first and step on the ground with your right foot (front, side and back); On the second beat, the right foot jumps up, while the left knee goes up and the toes go down.
