Sometimes for a party, performance, or personal enjoyment, you need to come up with a dance. At first it seems like an impossible task, there are no ideas in my head. But over time, the body surrenders to the rhythms and melody, starts dancing, and in the process a beautiful composition is born. How do you come up with dance moves?
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the type of dance. Each direction has its own characteristic movements, be it flamenco, break dance, rock and roll or samba. For example, for Latin American dances, which are sexy and playful, the defining elements are swaying of the hips, rotation, smooth movement in space. Movements and steps are performed at a high tempo with fast music. Break dance is based on acrobatic elements, turns around your body, rotation on your arms and head. The dancer must have physical endurance and good coordination. Flamenco can be recognized by the performer's characteristic beating of the rhythm with heels, by the smooth free movements of the hands, like a fan that opens and closes.
Step 2
Learn the basic elements of the chosen dance direction and the technique of execution. All compositions include the basic elements of this style, poses, steps, gestures. To do this, you can watch dance clips, videos, training programs. Your task to begin with is to study the base of the dance. It is she who will be a solid foundation for further steps.
Step 3
Pick up music. Each dance has its own characteristic sound, melody, rhythm. For example, the time signature of salsa is four quarters. The dance is performed at a fast pace with a complex rhythmic pattern. In some countries this style is known as "tropical music". You can easily find the songs you want by the name of the dance.
Step 4
While listening to the melody, try to perform the basic elements of the dance. If the rhythm does not fit the selected movement, do the combination slower or, conversely, faster. Change the basic elements. At first, the dance will look like a set of basic movements, replacing each other.
Step 5
After learning the basic elements and literacy of dance, listen to music and try to improvise. At this stage, you can just add your own movements, be creative. To make it easier to improvise, come up with a plot. For example, your hands are tied and you can only move your legs. In this case, the performance of the basic movements will be slightly changed. Or the dancer depicts a hero who has just broken up with his girlfriend, and characteristic emotions are visible on his face, certain feelings are expressed through the body. At the same time, do not think, but simply show your inner state. Based on the plot, the steps can be small or large. Add objects and accessories to the dance. Change your position in space. These techniques will somewhat "dilute" the learned basic elements, but retain the basis and characteristic movements by which the dance is recognized.
