Instructions
Step 1
Sign up for a dance school. If a few years ago there were very few studios offering teaching tectonics, today it is much easier to find teachers. Classes in such a school help to avoid many mistakes that students make, and provide a "base", that is, they teach to move correctly, plan training. But you also need to do it yourself in order to achieve great success.
Step 2
For workouts at home, provide good conditions: put a sports rug or carpet on the floor, hang a mirror in front of it so that you can see yourself from the side. It is advisable to have two mirrors to provide an overview from different angles. Find the right music of the appropriate genre. At first you only need one or two tracks, then you can use more. If you don't know specific artists, check out the latest themed compilations like Electro Dance or Tectonik Killer. Choose the song you like that makes you move, dance with full dedication. Wear skinny jeans, a tight tank or T-shirt, trainers, and wristbands for your workout.
Step 3
Learn to feel the rhythm, play the selected track several times, tapping out the melody. Start highlighting accents in the music, try to highlight specific instruments. It will be difficult at first, but over time you will begin to intuitively feel the music, anticipating the next measure.
Step 4
Develop coordination with a few exercises. Take an apple in your hands, spread your feet shoulder-width apart and close your eyes. Toss both apples at the same time and try to catch them without opening your eyes. You can use tennis balls instead of apples. In transport, try to drive without holding onto the handrails, but while walking, walk along the curbs.
Step 5
Develop flexibility: do bends, "bridge", stretching exercises, you can do yoga. Learn to move quickly, for this alternate running on the spot with maximum speed and moving your arms, as if you were hitting someone. Develop your reaction: dance to alternating musical rhythms and melodies. Do plastic exercises: raise your right hand up, lower your left, change hands. Cross your arms in front of your chest to form a diagonal, then place them parallel to each other and vertically, bringing your elbows together.
Step 6
Use video tutorials for Tectonic dance training, read the instructions. It's better to find complete, professional video courses rather than watching sketchy videos. First, memorize the movements, reproduce them, bring them to the ideal, and over time the ability to improvise will come. Remember that the more you train, the better you will dance. The optimal frequency of classes is at least 20-30 every day.
