How to practice street dance Thomas

Everyone must have seen street dance performances in daily life, and the basic street dance moves are very simple, but there are also many difficult street dance moves in this dance form, and if these moves are not performed carefully, it is easy to cause injuries. The Street Dance Thomas move is a relatively difficult dance move to learn in street dance. So how should Street Dance Thomas be performed?

Thomas requires high waist and arm strength, especially triceps strength;

This is where the difficulty of Thomas lies. If your strength in these two places is not enough, your legs will not be able to rise up and stay at the highest point during the process, and you will fall down.

You can first try sitting on the ground, using the strength of your arms and waist to support your legs, and try to lift them up towards your shoulders in front of you.

Spread your legs wide and support yourself with your left hand. Sweep your left foot towards the heel of your right foot, kick your foot towards your head, and at the same time, kick your left foot towards your head.

Support the ground with both hands, lift both feet into the air, straighten your waist forward, then continue to keep the left foot in the air, pull the right foot diagonally backward to the original starting direction of the right foot, and move the left hand away from the ground with only the right hand supporting the whole body.

The key points of practicing Thomas:

1. The arm strength, the sweeping power of the feet and the waist strength must be strong enough

2. Your feet should also feel like they are drawn in a circle

3. Seize the opportunity to change hands

Thomas Spin

It was named after its inventor, Thomas. Thomas is a gymnast.

He invented a gymnastic move, and people named it after him. The action is to separate the legs and lower the body's center of gravity, lean the shoulders slightly forward, and lift the left leg to the upper left.

Stretch your right leg toward the left side through the lower back, put your left hand into your leg, and then push your legs apart and connect them.

Technical Essentials

Control the speed of the body's center of gravity lowering, hold the chest in, lift the shoulders, and at the same time use the legs to swing in different directions, coordinate the force of the shoulders and arms, generate horizontal rotation power, and move the body's center of gravity reasonably.

When moving the leg forward, turn the body and shoulders slightly to the left, flip the hips, and get support with the left hand as early as possible to facilitate the Thomas full rotation.

This movement can also be performed in floor exercises. Since the floor exercise venue is large and the hands can be supported at any part of the body, practice can be performed on the floor exercise venue during training.

This movement can be performed on the pommel horse, on the ring, or on other parts of the body.
