Jazz dance is a dance brought to the United States by African slaves, so its dance is like the character of Africans, primitive, passionate and unrestrained. After jazz dance arrived in the United States, it absorbed the elements and techniques of ballet, modern dance, hip-hop, and Latin dance. It wanted to express a sexy style, including hip movements, waist twists, and body twists. In love with your charm and sex appeal.

Generally, coaches will convert soothing pop and traditional jazz music into aerobics with strong rhythms.

Let's rock together - hip twisting combination:

Hip thrusting, waist twisting, and body twisting in a wave shape are the main features of jazz dance. Along with the strong music rhythm, twist your hips and twist your body to release your passion and gracefulness between advancement and retreat.

Maybe your personality is more restrained and reserved, so when dancing jazz, it is crucial to have an "open mind" mentality. You must know that sexy is not a sin, but a compliment to you.

The body must contain three elements: soul, sexiness and balance: the bending, extending, rotating, circling and swinging of the head, neck, shoulders, upper limbs and torso.

The essence of jazz dance movements is a free and simple expression, which directly expresses inner feelings through the bumps, shakes and twists of the body. Just like when we hear the music we like, we can naturally express our emotions from the heart, and our bodies can’t help but move with the rhythm of the music, such as snapping our fingers, moving our heads and stamping our feet, sometimes with excitement and intensity, and sometimes slowly and gently blending into the music. among.

Dance steps and hip swings, as well as the moving position of the upper body in Eastern dance, etc. Stylish Jazz Dance and Modern Jazz Dance. new jazz (the Chinese translation is not new jazz, its full name is New York Jazz). In fact, new jazz is the jazz that we usually dance now, but there are more poses. In the past, maybe there was dance and then looking for music, but new jazz There is music and choreography, just like various music MTVs. NEW JAZZ evolved from ballet in the early days of New York, USA. . . Created the charm of hip-hop that combines ballet with HIP-HOP. In fact, the characteristic of NEW JAZZ can also be said to be a dance that combines JAZZ with HIP-HOP. The characteristic of NEW JAZZ is: the extension of the body. Every movement of NEW JAZZ has a fixed angle and swing. When dancing NEW JAZZ, you will feel infinite extension when making hand movements. This feeling is like someone is holding your hand. Currently dancing NEW JAZZ Mainly include: Janet Jackson, Megumi Amuro, Cai Yan. Lee Hyori, Cheon Wu, and BOA's dances are also part of NEW JAZZ. This is the most basic thing that I completely forgot to mention! Janet Jackson and Amuro*** Megumi are two artists in the world who are good at dancing NEW JAZZ.

Question 4: What are the techniques of jazz dance? Jazz dance is mainly a dance that pursues happiness, liveliness and vitality. Its characteristic is that it can be danced freely. It does not have to be limited to one form and adhere to inherent postures like traditional classical ballet. However, it is different from disco dance, which is a completely self-enjoyed dance. It is in freedom. There is still a kind of present law. For example, it will express emotions with jazz music, and also use or imitate other dance techniques; for example, in footwork and movements, it applies the movement positions and principles of ballet, the sensitivity of tap dance techniques, the contraction and relaxation of the modern dance body, and the principles of Latin dance. The dance steps and hip swings, as well as the moving position of the upper body in Eastern dance, use bent knees to bring the body's center of gravity closer to the ground. Keep the center of gravity low so that the lower limbs are flexible, while the joints of the upper body can remain relaxed, and the required movements can be quickly made according to the rhythm, so that a variety of changes in movements can be obtained. Rapid movement of the center of gravity, especially horizontal movements, is the epitome of jazz dance skills. Let each body part such as head, shoulders, waist, hips, and trunk make independent movements. Emphasis on angular and linear movements. Use rhythmic and complex segmented movements to show the rhythmic segmentation in the movements.

For example, in an action, we place the heavy beat on the head or hands, and the movements of the hands and head are separated from the own movements during the action, and do not move at the same time as the own movements. In other words, an action can be completed in one beat, but now we divide it into four beats, and the action is also divided into four parts for performance. Polyrhythm quickly uses the body to express two or three rhythms at the same time.

Question 5: What is the difference between jazz dance and street dance? Jazz dance and music originated in the United States and have a strong cultural background of black slaves. Until the 1920s, "jazz" spread all over the country, and everyone rushed to learn from it. Jazz dance requires a solid basic understanding and full devotion of mind and body to express the essence. Jazz dance is an extension of African dance. It was brought to the United States by black slaves and gradually evolved into a localized and popular dance in the United States. Black Africans were dispersed in the United States and around the world due to the slave trade that lasted for about three hundred years. They lived a bleak and miserable slave life in a new environment and a new life. Even in this painful situation, their music and dance were still not forgotten. No matter when they are happy, angry, sad, happy or worshiping gods, as long as they have the opportunity, they will sing the songs of their hometown and dance their folk dances. Over time, it gradually turns into a joyful and unique music. and dance. And because of their constant innovation and invention of new dance steps, Americans gradually became interested in these rhythmic black dances. Jazz dance evolved naturally in the early 20th century due to the natural accompaniment of jazz. The earliest jazz dance was performed by black social dances paired with jazz music. It was popular in the rural areas of the southern United States, especially among some amateur dancers in the city of New Orleans. , they perform jazz dances at parties or club venues. By 1917, popular dancers at that time were performing according to the meaning of the lyrics. One man named W. Benton Overstreet wrote a song called "The Jazz Dance", and this song The song "Jazz Dance" became a permanent synonym for jazz dance, and the name jazz dance was born. Street dance, also known as HIP-HOP, comes from black street dance, so another name is REETFUNK. Street dance is naturally loved by young people because of its relaxed, free personality and rebellious spirit. After filtering out the original After getting rid of the cheesiness and exaggeration of the first dance, the street car has legitimately entered the hall of elegance - the gym. HIP-HOP is a general term for all kinds of street dance, including mechanical dance, break dance, etc. It originated from the improvised dance moves of American street dancers. These street dancers are mainly black or Mexican. Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Some black or Mexican children dance for fun in the street all day long, forming various factions. It was natural to develop differences in the dances they danced. In early 1992, a kind of "HIP-HOP in situ" appeared, which did not have those large-scale movements and foot movements, let alone the gymnastics-like movements on the ground in break dancing. Its unique style lies in its emphasis on body coordination, emphasis on the rhythm of the upper body and the addition of many head and hand movements.

Question 6: What kind of person is jazz dance suitable for? The most important thing is that the bones must be flexible. Generally at this age, it is difficult for the bones to twist. Unless you are very thin. Or the bones are flexible. Otherwise, don't suffer this pain. Practicing jazz dance is very tiring.

If you study, don’t give up. Otherwise I’ll be sorry for myself

Question 7: What kind of person is jazz dance suitable for? It is best to have a soft body and a thin waist. Many jazz dancers wear very loose pants. There are not many requirements for the legs, but the thin waist looks really good when twisted. The body is soft, the movements are soft, and it looks good. If you are not confident in female dancing, you can try male dancing, which is very powerful. For male dancers, there is no requirement for wide T, but the movements must be powerful. The figure is secondary, as long as the movements are in place, you can dance very handsomely.

Question 8: What does jazz dance make people feel? It depends on what kind of music it is.

First there is music, then there is dance. Different styles of music display different dance feelings. There are many styles of jazz dance, including power, sexy and hiphop styles. Not every girl feels sexy when she jumps out. For example, the BADA teacher in the D dance area dances very handsomely and has great style! This also varies from person to person. The most obvious feature of jazz dance compared to folk dance is that it is fashionable and dynamic. What kind of style do you like, that’s what the dance feels like.

Question 9: Jazz dance is suitable for all girls. After learning several dance styles, I feel that jazz is relatively easier to dance. In fact, no matter whether you are extroverted or introverted, you can jump. Introverted girls don’t need to worry. The teacher will warm you up before the jazz starts to get you into the mood. There’s nothing to be shy about. Introverts, after learning jazz for a while, will have more aura than before.

Question 10: What is the difference between jazz dance and modern dance? It is quite long to explain the difference between modern dance and jazz dance in detail. I will try to introduce it to you as briefly as possible:

Modern dance is relatively different from "classical ballet". Both modern dance and classical ballet are restrained dances. But modern dance is the dance type closest to ballet. The simplest difference is that ballet dances on "toes" and has fixed movement routines and techniques. Modern dance involves putting down the "toes" and dancing with the "balls of the feet". What makes modern dance unique is: "There are no universal rules, every artist is creating his own code.". Although the creation of modern dance itself is to distinguish it from "classical ballet", the concept, aesthetics, dance vocabulary, etc. of dance still continue its European origin. Therefore, to dance modern dance well, you still need to have solid basic ballet skills.

Jazz dance is named after the jazz music of African Americans. Jazz dance, like jazz, was created by American slaves. So jazz dance is also an extension of black African dance. Jazz dance is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance, and it is an extroverted dance. Jazz dance can express emotions in conjunction with jazz music, and can also rely on or imitate other dance techniques: for example, in footwork and movements, the action positions and principles of ballet, the sensitivity of tap dance techniques, the contraction and relaxation of the modern dance body, and the principles of Latin dance Dance steps and hip movements as well as upper body movement in Eastern dance. Types of jazz dance include: Tap Dance, Theatrical Jazz Dance, Broadway Jazz Dance, Modern Jazz Dance, etc. Recently, most dancers around the world have classified Street Jazz Dance and Power Jzz into the dance category of hip-hop, which has also extended to new minor dance types such as HipHop Jazz.
