Jazz dance, that is, American modern dance, is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance and belongs to an external dance. The following is my detailed introduction to jazz dance clothing selection. Welcome to read!

1, how to choose clothes for jazz dance

1. 1, upper body: I-shaped vest

A long T with a black performance vest (it is a fashionable dress. If the lower body is fat, the long T can cover the wider hip bones. The small black vest makes the whole person fashionable and suitable for the jazz style. )

1.2, lower body: low-grade hip-hop pants

Sports pants, super shorts.

1.3, shoes: sports shoes (you can wear low-grade pants and sweatpants at will)

Dance shoes and boots.

2. What is jazz dance?

Jazz dance, that is, American modern dance, is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance, which belongs to an extroverted dance, unlike the introverted dance shown by classical ballet or modern dance. Jazz dance was originally an extension of African dance, brought to the United States by black people who were sold as slaves, and gradually evolved into a localized popular dance in the United States.

3. The history of jazz dance.

Jazz dance is an extension of African dance, which was brought to the United States by slaves and gradually evolved into a localized popular dance in the United States. Because of the slave trade that lasted for about 300 years, African blacks were fired in the United States and all over the world. In the new environment and new life, I live a miserable slave life. Although in this painful situation, I still haven't forgotten their music and dance. No matter the joy, anger, sadness, joy and worship in life, whenever there is an opportunity, they will sing the songs of their hometown and dance their own national dances. Because of the constant innovation and invention of new dance steps, Americans are gradually interested in these rhythmic black dances. So over time, it gradually became jubilant and urban music and dance.

Learning skills of jazz dance

1, bend your knees to make your body center of gravity closer to the ground. Keep the center of gravity low, make the lower limbs elastic, and at the same time keep the joints of the upper body relaxed, and quickly make the movements required in the rhythm, so as to diversify the movements.

2. A segmentation method that uses rhythmic and complex segmentation actions to express the rhythm in the action. For example, in an action, we put the remake on our heads or hands, and the actions of our hands and heads are cut out from our own actions during the action, not at the same time. That is to say, an action can be completed in one beat, but now we divide it into four beats and the action is also divided into four parts.

3. softness. No matter what kind of dance you dance, if you want to dance beautifully, your body must be soft, otherwise you can't give full play to the beauty of lines, and jazz dance is no exception. Be sure to pay attention to the stretching action of warm-up. Before the body muscles are fully warmed up, it is not appropriate to stretch in the form of elastic vibration, otherwise it will be counterproductive and strain the muscles. Static stretching is safer, but it also requires patience.

Reflections on jazz dance

1, cardiopulmonary endurance

Generally, the time of an action combination in jazz dance is not very long, but the rest time between combinations is often very short. Therefore, if learners have good cardio-pulmonary endurance, they will generally maintain good dance skills after repeated movements for many times, so as not to get tired prematurely.

2, muscle strength and muscle endurance

Jazz dance has many quick and instantaneous movements, so basic muscle strength is necessary. In addition, because learning to dance often needs to practice the same movement many times, the requirements for muscle endurance are relatively high. In particular, the endurance of lower limb muscles must be well exercised, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to knees, ankles, hip joints and nearby muscles. Jazz dancers also strengthen their muscles through other auxiliary exercises (such as water exercises and yoga training).

Step 3 be gentle

No matter what kind of dance you dance, if you want to dance beautifully, your body must be soft, otherwise you can't give full play to the beauty of lines, and jazz dance is no exception. Be sure to pay attention to the stretching action of warm-up. Before the body muscles are fully warmed up, it is not appropriate to stretch in the form of elastic vibration, otherwise it will be counterproductive and strain the muscles.
