What basic skills should be practiced in street dance

Street dance is a type of dance that spread from the West to China and is loved by many dance lovers. The style of street dance tends to be popular and individual, and compared to other types of dance, the movements of street dance are more powerful and rhythmic. To some extent, it can also train children's coordination and athletic ability. Therefore, it is also popular among many children, and more and more parents are willing to send their children to learn street dance. Before learning street dance, it is necessary to understand what basic skills of street dance need to be practiced.

1. Methods of hand exercises

1. Put your hands in a horse-riding position, put your fingers down, and feel relaxed.

2. Then press your wrist downward, but keep your fingers upward. When you press your wrist downward, do you see a concave hole on your forearm? There is a small hole at the axis (just practice this repeatedly)

3. During the exercise, look at the upper part of your hand to see if the muscles are bursting out. If so, look at the part where the chest and arm are connected to see if there is any jumping. Also, see if the muscles on the back are jumping. When you press your wrist down, you can feel the muscles in front of your chest jumping a little, right? But please note: it is not the chest that is jumping forward, but the pectoral muscles that are jumping upward. If you have the above points, then you are correct.

I guess you may not be able to feel the back muscles jumping when you first start practicing, but it will be OK if you force yourself to practice. It is important to note that when practicing, do not use force on your shoulders. All the force should be on your wrists. Please try to see if you can feel it.

This hand exercise should be combined with foot exercises to make it more natural.

2. Foot POP Exercise

The POP of the footsteps is actually the POP of the crotch. Many people think it is complicated and difficult to practice. In fact, practicing the crotch is easier than practicing the hands. Just don't think of it too complicated. Try to keep it as simple as possible, the simpler the better. Pay attention to using the knees.

1. Stand up first, then bend your knees slightly forward, as if you are about to sit down.

2. As you said in the first point, stand up slowly from this movement. Remember to straighten your legs slowly, but don't use force.

3. Stand up slowly. When your feet are about to stand straight, suddenly use force to straighten your feet quickly (that is, push your knees back). Do you achieve the POP under your crotch by practicing this repeatedly? Remember not to use any force on your buttocks or pull them inward. That is an incorrect way to practice. Try to think of it as simply as possible.

This foot exercise should be combined with hand exercises to make it more natural.

3. POP of the head

In fact, it is really difficult to explain this head exercise clearly using the typing method! In fact, it is an effect achieved by applying force to the head at a 45-degree angle.

We often say "Hello" when we meet acquaintances on the road. Remember, the POP of the head is a bit like the sound of "Hello". How to say it? When you say "Hello" to others, your head slightly nods upwards. That "point" is actually the POP, but you just need to use force and complete it in a short time. Note that you should keep your relaxed expression first, and then suddenly call someone "hello". After repeated practice, you will learn how to do the POP with your head. Do you have a feel for it? But don't use force on your jaw, but on the back of your head. CAN YOU FOLLOW ME?

4. POP of chest

No chest exercises required. (But a true single chest shock requires practice. The practice method is to first straighten your waist. You will feel a little sore in your waist. Pay attention to lifting your chest. Then, when you slowly relax, suddenly do a POP. However, this POP is not done by the waist. The waist is straightened just to make the POP more beautiful!)

Replenish

Finally, I would like to add some opinions from the domestic first-class popper: BOKY:

1. The POP in the arm mainly uses the triceps and radial carpi brevis. You can try this movement: hold the wall with five fingers, and then push the wall with the palm of your hand (note that your elbows should be naturally bent, and don't force them to be straight). The muscle groups used in this movement are roughly the POP positions on the arms.

2. The chest muscles run vertically upward. Because it is important to note that very few bursts are accomplished by extending the joints. So conversely, if the pectoralis major muscle does not move upward, it will inevitably affect the bending of the spinal joints. In addition, the POP of the chest muscles and the POP of the neck muscles are generally completed at the same time. You can understand it this way. When the chest muscles move upward, the head maintains its original position or presses down slightly, which naturally compresses the muscles on the neck. In addition, how to exercise the neck muscles? Let’s try to make two sounds, one is "oh". When the mouth is opened to the maximum, you can naturally tighten the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Another one is "Ha". This lip shape, when performed with the widest range, can tighten the levator scapulae and omohyoid muscles. These three muscles are very important sources of POP for the neck.

3. The POP of the legs is the only POP that requires the use of joints. This is because it is difficult to tighten the muscles in the thigh when the knee is naturally bent. It should also be added that the POP of the lower body is not only completed by the thigh muscles. In some specific movements, the POP on the hip and lower back muscles is also used.
