In recent years, there has been an upsurge in Latin dance learning. Latin dance can not only delight the body and mind, but also shape the body. Let me show you the essentials of Latin dance!

Hip movement

Hip movement is one of the symbolic movements of Latin dance. Except for bullfighting, the other four dances all have hip movements, which show the great gentleness of women to the extreme. It's hard to imagine Latin dance without hip movements, such as rumba. As the saying goes, "seeing is believing", but it is not entirely true. Sometimes, eyes deceive themselves. For example, the crotch movement of Latin dance is considered to be twisted because it swings from side to side, which is a big mistake. The crotch swaying from side to side is its superficial phenomenon, not its internal essence. Any movement of Latin dance body is the result of feet pressing the ground, confronting the ground and then squeezing the body. The action formed in this way is very solid, nailed firmly and deeply rooted from the footwork action; Judging from the crotch movement, it is full of toughness and strength, and always looks like Zhang Fuyou's elastic rubber.

Arm movement

The arm is an extension of the body, and the arm action is the aftermath of the body action. Many people don't use their bodies to drive their arms in Latin dance, but want to use their arms to drive their bodies, and the result becomes dancing. In fact, Latin dance can easily be made into a playful dance, and modern dance can easily be made into a walking dance.

Foot movement

Feet should put pressure on the ground, confront the ground and squeeze the body, which requires practicing the strength and kung fu under their feet. In-situ basic rhythm is the simplest and most effective way to practice this kind of kung fu, but remember one thing, don't twist your hips actively, otherwise it will be in vain to practice more, because something inside is wrong, which is called "the opposite direction". The greater the kung fu, the further the mistake. Different from the folk dances in China, most western dances are under the feet. Just watch ballet, tap dance and modern dance. The four cygnets didn't move at all. When dancing, the floor is the best friend. The greater the force given to the floor, the stronger the expressive force given by the floor.

Spinning skills in Latin dance

Many students often encounter such a problem when dancing Latin dance: the center of gravity is often unstable when rotating, which seriously affects the aesthetic feeling of Latin dance. How to make the rotation fast and steady?

I think the first thing is that there is something wrong with your center of gravity. In Latin dance, there are many spins, but Latin dance spins are different from ordinary spins. In folk dance, classical dance and other dances, the most commonly used rotation is basically horizontal rotation, while in Latin dance, speed and explosiveness are emphasized. Therefore, many players use parallel foot rotation to complete the rotation, because parallel foot rotation is better than horizontal rotation in speed and explosive force, so the requirements are also very high. The specific approach is:

1. Don't stride when rotating, it will affect the speed.

2. Keep your eyes on a target in front of you, keep your head and let your body turn first, and then turn your head instantly after the body basically turns.

3. The legs should be upright and not bent, and stretched upward through the body.

4. Vertebra must be perpendicular to the ground and must not be bent.

5. Rotate with two soles, and never use heels.

6. After rotating 360 degrees, immediately open your feet and keep your center of gravity between your feet.

Practice one lap first, then practice two laps, three laps and four laps after proficiency. I believe you will succeed.
