They conquer the audience with their enthusiasm, cheerfulness and liveliness, allowing the audience to enjoy this kind of dance. It feels like being in it and having fun. The handkerchief flower dance originates from Northeast my country and has the same meaning as the Yangko dance.
Basic movements and techniques of handkerchief dance:
1. Heel press: Heel press in different foot positions. Such as forward step, small step, big figure eight step, lunge, etc. When pressing your heels, press your heels and raise your toes, with your front feet on the ground and your legs straight at the knees. In the first half of the beat, quickly place your feet on your heels. The time for lifting the heels should be short, and the time for landing should be relatively long.
2. Knee flexion and extension: Knee activities with different characteristics. During hard flexion and extension, the knees flex and extend quickly and are elastic; during soft flexion and extension, the knee joints must be flexed and extended with an inherent sense of flexibility, with the body's center of gravity facing downwards as the music beats; when straightening the knees, the knees should be straight to show the cuteness of the movement. .
3. Upper body rhythm: The body rhythm of Northeastern Yangko is mainly swinging from side to side and twisting back and forth. The lateral body swing is to alternately lift the chest and waist on the left and right sides of the body to form a left and right lateral swing of the upper body.
The back and forth twisting is based on the waist as the axis and the shoulders as the main body. The left and right sides of the body twist back and forth alternately. The shoulders and the upper body twist to form one body. Do not twist the hips, such as the alternating back and forth strokes of the shoulders. The circle means that the right shoulder drives the upper body up the arc to the front, and at the same time the left shoulder walks down the arc to the back.
