When we dance, we just want to jump out of the feeling of music with our bodies, so learning to dance should not only learn movements, but also learn to express music.
Let me share how I express my music.
Step 1
Divide the music and listen to all levels of music.
generally speaking, music is composed of melody, drums, lyrics and sound effects.
ordinary people usually listen to a song as a whole, and don't listen to the above four sections separately, so we dancer need to listen to the music separately.
If we keep dancing the lyrics with our movements without expressing anything else, it will be very monotonous.
As a professional dancer, we should express all levels of music, and then constantly switch between these levels, so that the effect of our dance will be colorful.
Step 2
Express the mood of music
Every song has its mood, some are cheerful, some are passionate and some are mysterious.
Our dance movements should also be able to convey the above emotions. If you use soft movements to express passionate songs, then people will not know what you are dancing.
Step 3
Express just the right timing
Many beginners don't know what timing is. . .
Let me explain my understanding. We just said that we should express all four levels of music, but when should we express drums and sound effects?
to switch what you express at the most appropriate time, to express drums at the most appropriate time, and to express sound effects at the most appropriate time, gives people a just-right feeling. This kind of timing change of musical expression is timing.
Step 4
Express the texture of music
Just now, we said that timing is the opportunity to switch between expressing different levels of music, and texture means that we vividly and accurately express the speed, volume and effect of music.
For example, drums are generally divided into drums and drums. Drums are short and drums are heavy. At this time, you should be able to express the short and heavy movements.
As for the visualization of the music effect, for example, when the lyrics are sung until you struggle, you can hug yourself with both hands, giving people a feeling of being tied, and then make an action to break the rope.
For example, some music likes to end with a loud explosion. You can pretend to bite a Grenade in your hand and throw it at your feet, and then make the action of being blown away.
I remember a hiphop dance, which ended with the sound of "ding dong" when Super Mario scored. At this time, you can imitate Mario's jumping posture and pretend that you hit a stone and get a point.
Often when you express the effect of music in a visual way that the audience can understand, the audience will be shocked by you at this time, and then cheers will rise all the time.
OK, that's my understanding of how to express music. I hope it can help you better understand and express music.
