1. Ballet is not difficult to learn.
2. When learning ballet, the most basic thing is to learn barre skills:
Barre practice is an extremely critical part of the basic skills of ballet and an important part of basic training. Whether you are a professional or amateur dancer, barre practice is essential. The muscles and joints of ballet dancers have never received special training in dance. With the help of the barre, a lot of burden is correspondingly relieved. They don't have to disperse too much energy for the balance and stability of the body's center of gravity, and can concentrate their thoughts more. To understand and experience the essence of each action. The correct way to hold the handlebars is relatively simple. Whether you hold the handlebars with one hand or both hands, you must not affect the basic correct posture of standing, especially the vertical stability of the center of gravity. The distance between the body and the handlebars should be exactly your own. The length of the forearm, the upper arm should not be close to the upper body, and the position of the hand on the bar is diagonally in front of the body, which is the front 45-degree position where the body and the bar form a 90-degree right angle. Everything must be in the meaning of the word "help".
1. Avoid holding handles
Although the human body is upright and the center of gravity is vertical, it meets the requirements, but it cannot last long, especially if you lose your own inspection. Because the grip is usually the precursor to the handle. The grip is to prepare the handle. The grip is at the same time a manifestation of tension, and at the same time has a great relationship with "holding one's breath".
2. Avoid raising your elbows
When holding the handle, the elbow joint does not naturally relax and droop, but is raised high. The reasons for raising the elbow are: first, the handle is too close to the body; second, the handle is parallel to the body. ?Lifting the elbow will not only affect the vertical center of gravity, but also cause shrugging of the shoulders. ?
3. Avoid pulling the handle
"Pull" and "support" are two concepts in themselves. They are two action forms. "Helping" is done gently and without force, while "Pull" requires force. When the handlebar is pulled, most of the time it is due to the center of gravity being off-center, and one has to hold on to the handlebar to maintain balance. Therefore, you must remember that when you feel that your hand on the handle is too hard, then nine times out of ten, your center of gravity has deviated. Quickly hold it again to adjust yourself. ?
4. Avoid pressing the handlebars
That is, pressing the weight of the human body on the handlebars through the handrails. At this time, the center of gravity of the human body must be tilted toward the handlebars. Training with the barre pressed will unconsciously develop many bad habits, especially the inability to adapt to training after leaving the barre. ?
There were no systematic requirements for the basic skills of ballet until the 1760s, when Pierre Beauchamp, an outstanding dancer from the French Royal Ballet Academy, accumulated them based on his years of practical exploration. Based on the experience of classical ballet, which requires stability, balance, and a vertical center of gravity, a systematic and standardized track was designed, which gave the basic training a legal basis and theoretical basis. To this day, the five foot positions and "open, "Stretch, straight, stand" is still an important part of the basic skills of ballet.
Third, the second step is to learn the rotation method in ballet
Ballet is considered a "dance on pointe", and dancing on pointe is a special form of expression of this dance. It is also one of the reasons why ballet has endured for so long. The reason why the pirouette in ballet is wonderful is that it is done on half tiptoe or tiptoe. Ballet's rotation skills are rich and colorful. In the basic training of spinning, in addition to cultivating the comprehensive ability of the body, there are also various forms of specialized training for spinning abilities. ?This is a great challenge to the dancer’s comprehensive ability. So how to complete the rotation perfectly is a problem that every ballet dancer has to solve. This article aims to analyze this problem from multiple angles and explain how to do a good job of rotation. In particular, it analyzes and explains the psychology of dancers at different stages when practicing rotation, which is an aspect that has rarely been touched upon by previous practitioners. I hope this paper will be helpful to dance learners.
1. Squat before starting to turn
From a physical point of view, the action force is equal to the reaction force. No matter how much force you give to the ground, the ground will give you the same amount of force at the same time. ?
Most of the rotations in ballet are on half-toe or pointe. Before standing up, squatting is used to prepare. This process is the reaction force of standing up. Therefore, squat rotation is very important. Only when squatting well can the upward standing be strong and powerful. ?
In the classroom, many students lack a correct understanding of squatting before turning. They often treat the squatting movement hastily and concentrate on turning, but the result is counterproductive. ?
2. The center of gravity of the body during rotation
The center of gravity of the body during rotation must be on the sole of the main leg.
This requires the head, shoulders, thighs, knees, and ankles of the body to be pierced vertically, just like skewering candied haws, with no part deviating from this vertical line. ?
In this vertical line, human breath plays a penetrating role, it is like the rod passing through the middle. We should let the breath flow upward and downward along a vertical line from the top of the head to the soles of the feet without being blocked in the middle. This sense of breath should have the imaginative feeling of coming out of the top of your head and flowing out from under the soles of your feet. Let’s make an analogy: compare the through line to a water pipe, and compare the breath to water. Water flows in the pipe, and water can come out from above or below. ?
Only when the breath is smooth can the movements be stretched and the body's center of gravity be stable. ?
3. Application of the power to stand up
When learning Lelewe, we talked about how to push the feet and legs when the body stands up. At the same time, the force of lifting the trunk from the pelvis should be used throughout every half-toe movement. In the process of turning, after squatting and then pushing up half of the toes, the heel pushing up to the ground and the torso lifting up are performed simultaneously. This kind of power is not only the unified action of all parts of the body, but also the independent self-control of different parts of the body. It is because of the lifting of the trunk that the body's gravity will not fully press on the main leg and main foot. ?
During practice, we can often see that students only pay attention to the feet being pushed up, and ignore the power of the pelvis to drive the trunk upward. If the trunk cannot be lifted, the main leg and main force will inevitably be increased. Foot weight bearing. ?
In addition, the two-way force can also ensure the speed and strength when standing up. ?
4. Use of the power of rotation
When rotating, the power of rotation is to forcefully open one side in the direction of motion and push the other side forcefully in the direction of motion. This is when rotating Use force method. For example: when we turn to the right, the right half of the body should be opened hard to the right, and the left half of the body should also be pushed hard to the right. Only with this kind of force can the rotating body be coordinated. Remember! You must not use only one side of your body. ?
The muscles of the human body are attached to the bones. Therefore, the fundamental power of rotation lies in the muscles of the body driving the movement. Turning should be a movement of the body itself, without relying on external forces. In training, arms or legs are often used to drive. In fact, these two parts are only an auxiliary power during exercise and should not be used as the main power. The force used to turn must be the force driven by the muscles. Using this method to prevent the force from being dispersed is the most important method to help the body stabilize the center of gravity during rotation. ?
We can describe these two methods of exertion by wearing tights and wearing bat shirts. The force that the muscles use to drive themselves moves around the bones, just like wearing a tight-fitting suit. The body is slender and long with little resistance; on the contrary, if the power of rotation is placed on the outer extension of the body, the force is spread out, like an elegant body. The bat shirt is wide and thick, with great resistance. ?
5. The use of the head in rotation
In rotation, it is very important to use the head correctly. ?
During rotation, the movement of the head includes three parts: the head, cervical spine and eyes, and these three parts should be coordinated. When teaching rotations, exercise on the head should be done with caution. ?
Use the simplest method to analyze and explain the movement of the head during rotation: ?
When we turn in a certain direction, the head should follow the rotation of the body in that direction When you reach the maximum limit of your own movement, immediately turn in the other direction and return your line of sight, bringing your head and line of sight to the direction you are looking. This process is what we often call "head keeping" and "head shaking". To express this movement process of the head in the simplest language, it is actually the left and right rotation of the head. ?
6. Control of dance posture
During the rotation process, it is very important to control the dance posture. We often see some bad phenomena. For example: unable to control the height of the dance posture in a standardized manner; waving arms wildly and vigorously; standing on half-toe of the main leg for no more than half a second, etc. This kind of rotation loses the actual meaning of the dance posture. ?
4. Ballet is a European classical dance that was born in the Italian Renaissance. It became popular in France in the second half of the seventeenth century and gradually became professional. It is popular all over the world with continuous innovation.
One of the most important features of ballet is that the actress touches the ground with her toes when performing, so it is also called toe dance.
His representative works include "Swan Lake", "Fairy", "The Nutcracker", etc. Ballet uses music and dance techniques to perform dramatic plots. The art of ballet was conceived in Italy and born in the French court of Louis XIV in the late seventeenth century. It was perfected in France in the eighteenth century and entered its most prosperous era in Russia by the late nineteenth century. In the long-term historical development process of nearly four hundred years, ballet has had a great influence on countries around the world and has spread widely. It has now become an art form that is being developed by all countries in the world. Actresses often touch the ground with their toes when dancing.
