In the profound artistic culture of the Chinese nation, folk dance is an indispensable part. The following details how to learn the Northeast Yangko combination. Welcome to read!
First, the Northeast Yangko learning model
The study of folk dance is a gradual process. From single action to combination, from hand-foot decomposition to hand-foot coordination, from single combination to advanced comprehensive combination, from the gradual transformation of training significance, we can see the urgency of learning folk dance well. The study of northeast yangko is also a long process. Northeast Yangko is taught regularly, and in-depth study is conducted for different training purposes. From the practice of head-foot coordination ability of "jump-kick combination" to the final combination of skills and performance, I have learned footwork, breathing, body, head, hands and so on. Such as: holding flowers and kicking combination, butterfly stroke combination, breeder combination, small step combination, other step combination and so on. Each level has different tasks. When it comes to learning higher-level combinations, performance dominates. In teaching, teachers often emphasize the feeling of action. National folk dance does not need to do difficult somersaults and spins, but it must have the charm of each nation. Only when the feeling is right can the beauty of national dance be reflected. Therefore, in the Northeast Yangko, the comprehensive performance combination has become the most difficult high-level combination.
(A) Teaching content for beginners
Northeast yangko plays an important role in national folk dance. Any dancer who has been influenced by a professional dance academy will learn the combination of Northeast Yangko in the first semester. Simple heel-pressing, towel flower and body posture have exercised the coordination ability of beginners and laid a good foundation for later high-level exercises. In the initial learning combination, it will also involve the training of kicking combination, which is divided into front kicking, back kicking and jumping kicking combination. Kicking is the basis of all movements, the most commonly used and common yangko footwork, and the most difficult to understand. It is difficult to kick well, and it is also difficult to dance and learn yangko. What seems simple is not necessarily easy to understand, and what seems easy is not necessarily easy to master. In the early stage of learning Northeast Yangko, teachers often start with simple teaching and help students lay a good foundation step by step, so that students can understand the essentials and characteristics of movements. In addition to the combination mentioned above, it will also involve butterfly combination, flower combination, flower combination and so on. Each teacher will have different teaching contents, and the teaching combination can be constantly adjusted according to the overall quality and learning situation of students, but the characteristics of several combinations, music and learning order of Northeast Yangko are basically unchanged. After the first semester of basic training, the difficulty began to strengthen, and the forms of footwork and towel flower were also varied. Like footwork, kicking is no longer the only footwork, but a variety of footwork such as e-step, sudden step and trembling step are added. Towel flowers will also increase the action of wrapping flowers around the head and folding flowers. Therefore, in the continuous learning, the dancers' coordination and acceptance ability are improving, and after continuous learning, they can better adapt to the following learning content.
(B) Northeast Yangko combination has a strong comprehensive training significance.
The combination learning of Northeast Yangko is a comprehensive performance combination in universities or social groups after a long-term basic training course. Adding difficult handkerchief skills, fully showing the action style and characteristics. The feeling of expression and movement is also the standard to measure the quality of a northeast yangko dancer.
Although the northeast yangko combination is difficult to learn, it is not impossible to dance it well after systematic study. After understanding the style and characteristics of Northeast Yangko, dancers will become more and more interested in Northeast Yangko Troupe after long-term and step-by-step training.
Second, the action style and characteristics of Northeast Yangko
Northeast yangko has both spicy and exciting flavor and calm and humorous characteristics in style. Yangko is also an entertainment activity. In the streets, parks and squares, there are often middle-aged and old comrades dancing yangko. Therefore, people often regard the word "twist" as the dynamic law of yangko. In fact, besides "twisting", "swinging" and "winding" are also the dynamic laws of northeast yangko. In Northeast China, it can be said that Yangko is a well-known folk dance. The performance characteristics and action characteristics of Northeast Yangko are: teasing, flattering, slapping, handsome and waving. We often say that this is the "five-character mantra" of Northeast Yangko. In the movements of Northeast Yangko, pounding, being pretty and fixing waves are the most commonly used, while teasing and flattering are the unique styles of women in the performance.
(A) Kuang, clever, steady waves
Bang is the gait in which the lower limbs drive the waist movement with bang force and extend to the upper limbs and wrists. Therefore, the core of the northeast yangko rhythm is "clever in the middle, clever in the middle and twisted in the middle, and twisted in the middle." "Step on the board and twist your waist" is the essence of Yangko. The northeast yangko, which combines Joe and Joe, is reflected in footwork, body rhythm and flexible wrist. A steady wave means a steady action. Collection is collection, output is output, and it should be clean and tidy. Wave means dancing yangko should be lively, beautiful and beautiful. Through the combination of music and dance, it embodies the "wave-stabilizing" style of "moving, static, fast, slow, point and line". Such as: short and crisp kick, quick exit and quick return, steady fall and slow shift of center of gravity. The action of the Northeast Yangko is a good expression of "beating your chest and feet, dancing and stabilizing the waves", and the coordination from head to toe is the ultimate.
(2) Dynamic laws of torsion, pendulum and circle
"Twist" is a combination of rhythm, posture and flowers. Mainly reflected in the northeast yangko characteristic posture "three bends." The flexibility of "twisting" in action should be "two moves and three shakes in one circle" "Swing" is powered by the chest. When swinging left and right, the head is driven by the strength of the ribs. It should be general and not attached. "Pendulum" as a basic action begins to be learned in "the combination of motion and law". In other words, if you can't "swing" well, you can't dance yangko well. "Circle" means to drive the upper body with shoulders and chest, and the shoulders alternately draw circles forward or backward. When doing the round shoulder movement, the body is 8-shaped. Therefore, the twisting, swinging and rounding of the upper body is an important part of the charm of Yangko.
(3) Teasing and charm
As a symbol of expression, "teasing and flattering" is the characteristic of Northeast Yangko performance. Sometimes a little shaking of the shoulder, shaking the head, lowering the head, wiping the towel and stamping the foot means "sorry, pretending to be angry, implicitly annoying" and so on. And these little moves add color to the northeast yangko, reflecting ridicule and charm. Northeast Yangko, the actor called the clothes, and the actress called the coat. Actors are mainly teasing, while actresses are mainly flattering, which is the so-called "teasing women". When an actress dances the Northeast Yangko alone, she will also have some movements and expressions that look very compatible with the actor. Northeast Yangko is not a solo performance, but a hidden actor is cooperating with you.
Northeast Yangko perfectly presents the bold, provocative and enthusiastic personality of the Northeast people. The action embodies the style characteristics of wave stability, wave beauty and the combination of beauty and beauty. "Kuang and Mei" vividly shows the shyness and fierceness of northeast girls in the performance. The upper body is characterized by "twisting, swinging and rounding". Therefore, style is the essence of national folk dance and the main goal of embodying national personality characteristics.
Third, the northeast yangko skills
There are many kinds of skills, including spinning, jumping, turning over, and specific props skills. There are many kinds of props in Yangko culture, which have traditional folk art culture. Such as yangko handkerchiefs, fans and drums. They are all characteristic props of yangko. In the Northeast Yangko Troupe, the usage of fans is varied, such as beating fans, combining fans and shaking fans. Fans and handkerchiefs are sometimes used together. However, handkerchiefs are the main props of Northeast Yangko, so the skills are naturally related to handkerchiefs. The handkerchief skill of northeast yangko can not be separated from the northeast duet. The basic handkerchief techniques of yangko are: top rotation and vertical rotation, and other composite techniques are developed on the basis of top rotation and vertical rotation. For example, over the shoulder, over the waist, flat rotation, big hands and so on. Handkerchief technology developed like this has also become a common skill in Northeast Yangko. Some techniques are often two flowers connected together, and the movements will look more coherent and comfortable. Handkerchief technology adds one wonderful piece after another to the combination. Handkerchiefs are changeable and flexible, which are the characteristics and highlights of Northeast Yangko.
(A) the foundation of Northeast Yangko handkerchief skills
Turning the top is the most basic handkerchief skill, which is a "folk" skill. Some elderly people will add some top-turning movements when they dance yangko. Of course, for dance students in professional colleges, practicing top turn is the earliest learning task. Vertical rotation often plays the role of "setting a good example", such as using the speed and fluency of vertical rotation in the shoulder to make it look more beautiful. Dancers' movements will also be more coherent and comfortable. It can be said that as long as you practice vertical rotation, you can learn handkerchief skills well. Therefore, in handkerchief technology, upturning and vertical turnover are the foundation, which laid the foundation for later technologies such as Gai Lou.
(B) Northeast Yangko composite handkerchief skills
Handkerchiefs are flexible in Northeast Yangko, and handkerchief skills make them "live" vividly. In the northeast yangko handkerchief technique, the connection of two flowers is a living representative. Such as neck, waist, hands over shoulders, etc. The action of connecting two flowers can play a coherent and comfortable role. Therefore, double flowers have also become an indispensable action in the handkerchief combination in Northeast Yangko. In addition to the connecting action of two flowers, throwing skills are also the characteristics of northeast yangko handkerchief flowers. The most classic big hand intuitively reflects the fierceness and decisiveness of women in Northeast China. There are many kinds of throwing actions, such as single vertical rotation throwing, ground tumbling throwing, step throwing, Man Zi, cartwheel throwing, front axle throwing, etc.
Fourth, how to learn Northeast Yangko well
(a) the language should be clear, expressive and standardized.
Before teaching movements, the teacher should tell the meaning of movements or combinations and the content to be expressed. Let the students understand and clearly say the essentials and characteristics of the action. Words and deeds are the same feature of folk dance teaching, and it can also be said that it is the same feature of body teaching. In the teaching of folk dance, teachers should give students clear guidance in language teaching and physical demonstration. The teacher's explanation and demonstration of every movement plays an important role in students' future study. The quality and clarity of teacher's demonstration actions directly affect a student's learning judgment. For example, the Northeast Yangko Troupe, which students all know is short and crisp, requires quick return, but how to make it short and crisp and quick return? It depends on a demonstration action that combines the teacher with the explanation. Students will imitate when they are beginners, and slowly demand themselves with their teachers' feelings when they do actions, so demonstrating actions is a key point to learn Northeast Yangko well.
(2) Be diligent in learning and master the essentials.
For a student who loves dancing, no matter whether you are learning the Northeast Yangko or other national dances, you should listen carefully to the teacher's explanation and carefully observe the teacher's demonstration movements. Ask if you don't understand, and try with your body if you can't do it yourself. Dance is different from other disciplines. It requires you to add your own feelings and tastes through your own trial and error on the basis of learning the actions taught by the teacher, which is often called "small model". Only in this way can you make progress, jump out of your own flavor and make breakthroughs and progress. Of course, if you just imitate the teacher without thinking much, you will lose the deep meaning of learning dance.
V. Northeast Yangko Music
The music of Northeast Yangko is diversified, and each group has its own specific music. Some will also sing and dance, reflecting national characteristics. With the cooperation of music, the Northeast Yangko can be danced well. The strength, rigidity and charm of music can naturally drive expression, breathing, eyes and movements. When it comes to the music of Northeast Yangko, people should first think of "drum", and no matter what combination, it will basically end with "drum". There are many kinds of drums, including three drums, five drums, seven drums and twelve drums. In combination, drums are often called playing, throwing towels up and down, or walking with one foot. There is a pause in drumming, and the pause of each drum is also a pause of each action. Some jumps, turns and turns in classical dance are also included in the drumming action, which strengthens the expressive force of yangko. Therefore, the music forms of Northeast Yangko are diverse, and only with good music can we learn Northeast Yangko better.
Northeast Yangko is the crystallization of Manchu-Chinese culture and the embodiment of the fiery, simple and strong characteristics of Northeast people. As a part of national folk dance, it is a model of cultural inheritance and occupies an important position in the 5,000-year history of China. The continuous development of Chinese folk dance is the product of national culture. We should not only inherit the ancient tradition of Northeast Yangko, but also make it develop with the times.
