Apple is the name of a very popular dance among sailors. It was invented by the British, and then Russian sailors adopted it, embellished it with their own elements, and since then, it has been considered the hallmark of the fleet. It is impossible to imagine a sailor who does not know how to dance the bull's-eye.
Instructions
Step 1
This dance does not require much space. Perhaps this was one of the main reasons that he took root in the navy. After all, there is very little free space on warships. Now this dance is quite common not only among sailors, but also at festive concerts and public events. Sometimes he is included in competitions at evenings. And many are happy to go out to participate.
Step 2
The melody of the dance is built on a musical square. All figures are designed to be performed in 8-16 measures. The time signature is two quarters.
Step 3
Start dancing slowly. Enter the stage with wide movements, as if imposingly walk in a circle. At first glance, it will seem that you are not dancing yet, but as if you are looking down on everyone present, showing your posture, proud of your gait. But in your movements you can feel the temperament and the growing power of the dance.
Step 4
Gradually, the tempo of the music increases, the movements become faster. Perform elements such as squats. To do this, keep your hands on your belt, squat, and while rising, throw your legs forward one by one. Accelerate the pace noticeably.
Step 5
Learn to make the famous sailor cracker element. Perform up jumps with simultaneous slaps in the air. Learn to perform an element such as a rope. These are alternating movements of the legs in one place, with a simultaneous busting of the arms. The movement is exactly the same as climbing a sailor on a rope.
Step 6
If you are dancing in a group, then include tug-of-war movements. It is also good to add various strength elements. When a dance is performed by a group, dances are characteristic - when one dancer performs some kind of movement, and the second must repeat it exactly, and then show something of his own, new. The next, in turn, repeats the movements of the previous one and complements its own. This is how you demonstrate your virtuosity.
Step 7
Of course, without a special sailor suit, this dance will look faded. Therefore, take care to prepare a special collar and peakless cap with ribbons.
