Girls learn street dance from scratch

Dancing is a common form of entertainment in our lives. It can not only exercise the body's coordination, but also help us exercise and enhance our resistance to some extent. Street dance is a new popular dance style introduced from foreign countries that tests people's coordination and rhythm. Therefore, if you want to learn street dance from scratch, it is not an easy task. You need to understand some things to pay attention to when learning street dance.

Street dance originated in the United States and is a general term for many different types of dance based on different street cultures or music styles. The earliest type of street dance is Locking, which originated in the 1960s.

The movements are composed of various combinations of walking, running and jumping, and are composed of a coherent combination of flexion and extension, rotation, circling, swinging, and wave-like twisting of the joints of the head, neck, shoulders, upper limbs, and trunk. Each movement has its own specific fitness effect, paying attention not only to the coordination of the movements of the upper and lower limbs, abdomen and back, head and trunk, but also to the independent movements of each part of each link. It was introduced to China in the 1980s and gradually spread as a fitness activity.

Dance Guide

1. The music used in street dance practice has a very distinctive Hip-Hop rhythm, so everyone must first be familiar with and adapt to the characteristics of the accompaniment music before practicing. If you can step accurately and easily in time with the music as soon as you hear it, then you can start learning street dance.

2. When practicing radio gymnastics and aerobics, the coach may require most movements to be "horizontal and vertical", while street dance emphasizes more on casualness and requires loose movements, so when practicing you should relax your muscles and joints as much as possible to make them more flexible.

3. When learning from a coach, there is usually a certain procedure. Here are some tips for you:

a. Listen to music and get familiar with the rhythm

b. Keep your eyes on the coach's feet and learn the steps;

c. After becoming familiar with the lower limb movements, you can learn the movements of the trunk and upper limbs.

(1) First, relax your whole body to achieve the best effect.

(2) Then turn your body 90 degrees to the left and push your right foot forward and downward.

(3) Move around your shoulders, lift your left shoulder, and turn your head to the left.

(4) Turn right 90 degrees, push your feet out to the sides, and expand your chest at the same time.

(5) Lift your right knee and turn your body 180° to the left.

(6) Lift your right knee and push it down to the left side, with the heel touching the ground.

(7) Step your left leg to the left, open your feet, bend your knees inward, hold your chest in, and cross your arms.

(8) Lift your left knee and push down, while turning 180 degrees to the right

(9) Step your right leg to the right, with your feet apart and your heels turned outward. Open your arms and expand your chest.

Note: The synchronization of movements of all parts of the body is the key, that is, to combine the movements of the lower limbs with the movements of the trunk and upper limbs. Also, be sure to do warm-up exercises before practicing to avoid unnecessary sports injuries. [2]

Dress Guide

Street dance clothing: basketball uniforms, large T-shirts, floor-length pants with multiple pockets, wide jeans, baseball caps, tight vests, sneakers, etc. can all be your choices. However, I want to remind you that while pursuing fashion and individuality, do not neglect aesthetics. If it does not suit you, it will just look "weird" and not beautiful.

Here are some suggestions for learning street dance from scratch:

1. First of all, you must have a love for street dance, which is the most basic prerequisite for learning any hobby.

2. Cultivate a sense of music and rhythm, listen to more dance music, and then conceive in your mind the dance steps and movements that are suitable for this music, laying a good foundation for future practice. First learn to follow the beat, clap the beat, and then practice the movements.

3. Practice your body shape to avoid dancing too stiffly or unnaturally.

4. Practice basic physical fitness skills. Practice strength, flexibility, and coordination. This is the basic principle that I will never give up. Practice the basics well and you will become fast at practicing the movements. Strength: push-ups, or dumbbells and barbells; Flexibility: leg stretches, shoulder opens, and waist stretches.

5. Cultivate a sense of dance. Find a mirror, listen to the music, and dance in front of the mirror, making your movements as beautiful as possible and trying to follow the rhythm of the music.

6. When you have achieved some basic physical fitness, you can practice some simple street dance basics!
