Beat refers to the combination law of strong beat and weak beat. There are many strong and weak sounds, which appear repeatedly in a certain order in the same length of time, forming a regular change of strength.

dancers must first determine what kind of dance music this is. That is to say, something is about to jump. This is just a matter of conditioned reflex for a master dancer, but it may not be so simple for a beginner ballroom dancer. They often don't know whether to dance in three or four steps, and they can't respond to music like rumba and tango that ordinary people don't dance much. It is difficult to know the rhythm of dance music, so we should first improve our musical literacy, listen more and understand more.

Since the footwork of ballroom ballroom ballroom dancing is strictly linked to the dance rhythm, it is necessary to understand the dance rhythm in order to "bravely step out of your feet". Compared with ordinary song music, ballroom dance music has been professionally produced, with obvious beat drums, and the drums on the remake are loud, which is obviously different from those on the weak beat.

If you listen carefully to the strength of the drums, you can easily tell whether it is a triple beat or a quadruple beat. The former will of course have to dance a three-step waltz (slow three, Form 3) or a Viennese waltz (Fast 3), while the latter will obviously have to choose among the four-step dances. Generally, ballroom usually plays a slow four, four, four, four, fast and four dances, with more jitterbug (La Peta) and less rumba and tango dances.

If you listen more, you will have a sense of music, so that you can easily master not only the beat of dance music, but also the beat of all songs ~ ~ If you have the conditions, you can learn an instrument, which will also be of great help to your sense of rhythm!

Dance music before p>197 refers to swing music, Rock, Soul and R&; B。 But at this time, dance music only refers to ballroom music, which was not a musical style at that time. After disco was popularized in 197, by the end of 197s, a new form of music appeared, using electronic elements, which is actually electronic dance music, but it is different from the distorted electronic dance music now. What I said here is purely "electronic music that makes people dance", but there was no such word as electronic dance music at that time.
