Matters needing attention
1, don't rush for success.
Beginners often only seek quantity and progress, but don't pay attention to the quality of movements. If they learn a lot of movements in a short time, these irregular movements will undoubtedly be like "waste". After getting used to it, it is very difficult to correct them. Therefore, when learning movements, we should be meticulous and step by step.
2, avoid blindly seeking "flowers"
At the beginning of class, students easily fall into the misunderstanding of measuring dance skills by "steps", blindly pursuing steps and thinking that "the more you spend, the better". This kind of "posturing" is bound to fail to stand the test of referees and spectators in real competitions. If students can lay a solid foundation and then learn some flower steps selectively according to their own characteristics, they can "add icing on the cake".
3. Avoid ignoring posture
Students should pay attention to the beauty of posture when learning modern dance or Latin dance. Stretching tall and straight, elegant and generous posture makes dancers' spirit double and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, when dancing, you must hold your head up, chest up and abdomen in, waist up, shoulders flat, knees relaxed, thighs and hips clamped and lifted.
