How to learn to street dance without leaving home

Folk dancing is a magnetically-fascinating spectacle. Surely you have seen how the dancers are transformed into robots, simulating mechanical intermittent motion, or flit above the ground, magically almost touching her feet. Here's a video of one of the most famous street dancers Marques Scott:

It all seems so impossible, unattainable. I would like to immediately dispel doubts arising as to the majority of viewers watching the video.

Common misconceptions about street dancing

1. This guy - a genius, because he improvises

Let me tell you a secret: all you see here, every little movement is the result of prolonged exercise and multiple repetitions. You see how easy it is, for example, on the arm Marques passes "wave"? Before he did it, he:

• thousands of times flexed wrist;
• elbow flexed thousands of times;
• thousands of times in the shoulder forward;
• tens of thousands of times in succession joined the movement.

With awkward rotation of a hand over time it becomes a smooth wave. Actually, here, for clarity:

And so with every element you see in the dance. Each of these pre-cut extends long process settling and motor body in memory. Improvisation - a voluntary combination of those elements.

2. This guy has talent, not all so given

Movement of each dancer, no matter how free and light as they may seem now, initially were as timid and clumsy as you. The same Marquis Scott, whom many call a genius to start dance classes moved no better than anyone else. Dance - this is not some kind of magic school, inaccessible to ordinary mortals.

Dance - is primarily a technician. Technology, who has worked to perfection.

You hear the music, trying to move under it, but it turns out that something very awkward? But the body of masters' dances itself! " But your body can dance if it does not know the movements? First, teach it to them, and then it itself will perform a dance for you. And with that can handle each.

3. I have never not work

and diligence will turn each at desire. Get rid of the vain thoughts about their exclusivity.

Probably while watching the video in your head flashed "Wow! Here I would... "but you do not even dare to pursue this idea until the end, because, of course, the" such talent is not given to all, and even more so to me too. "

Most likely, many of you have watched the video, went to the mirror and tried to portray the "wave", instead of it got a real storm with 11 on the Beaufort scale, laughed and went on about their business. People somehow think that gifted street dancer by nature. No, he's just one solution to the mirror that is trying to do and laughing at failure. Only after that it is suitable to the mirror again and again.

Street dance in most cases is improvisation, based on the free combination sharpened perfected elements different dance directions.

Yes, street dance - a very broad concept, which includes break dancing, locking, house and many other things.

So, you understand that there is no magic and mystery in the masterful dance there, and the secret of its ease of a fully enclosed in exploring different movements? Already good. Go further.

Technics

What is the study of the art?

1. The choice of a particular movement.
2. A breakdown of its elementary components.
3. Multiple repetitions of each of them individually.
4. Sequential their desired compound motion.
5. Repetition of this movement, use it in conjunction with others.

Repetition, repetition, repetition - that is the basis of technology. Why? Because the only way our body learns. First, the path to each movement will lie through the huge effort of the control and concentration. Everything will be slow. But with each repetition of the new movement will be adapting mechanism of your motor memory. In the end, the movement is executed naturally and easily as a wave of the hand. You do not have to think about it. It's like learning to ride a bicycle.

Therefore, the mastery of dance accessible to all. But the path to it lies through the elaborate machinery. And work on technique - it is work, long, neproctoy and from which sometimes want to cry.

But there is good news.

You can work at home. And most importantly, you will be interested to work.

Because any routine, unpleasant work receives motive and becomes much more interesting when it brings a result. And the sooner this result will manifest itself, the more it will be visible, the greater the desire to continue to light up people.

Believe me, learn the simple technique of magic plastic without leaving the house as soon as possible. Of course, so fast you will not become Marquis Scott, but the surprise of friends and family, and yourself, you will definitely succeed. Take referred to "wave." Follow the instructions in the second video of this article every day for at least 15 minutes, a couple of weeks you will perform the movement correctly, quickly and with the right automatism.

Dancing at home

Now the main thing. The studio has a professional choreographer who teaches and shows movement. And at home? At home there is YouTube, which is not less than the professional dancers have posted thousands of instructional videos.

If you are one of those people who have flashed the thought, "Wow! That would be me... "when you view the first video, the action plan is as follows: you go to one of YouTube-channel, listed below, see the dancing rollers and define whose style you like, open the training videos, and getting up from a chair without departing from the monitor (well, if there exists a mirror), you begin to do what they is shown. That is, to repeat, repeat and repeat traffic.

Do not worry about the small space that we do not master the waltz, and for learning the basic movements and perform basic chords you run out of space. Here, of course, much depends on the dance genre. For example, a lower break you will be able to learn only when you have a large space and slippery flooring.

Layfhaker chose the most undemanding to the town square styles, united under the name of dubstep. It is not important whether you like this music: the elements of the style can be used in completely different directions.

1. That's wonderful Alexander Dragon SchoolIn which you'll find a huge number of video tutorials to all elementary movements of completely different directions, a lot of lessons, ligaments and dance. This school is perhaps the busiest channel on YouTube, able to completely replace the work in the studio.

Do not be scare away the abundance of video. And in any case, do not grasp at once for a bunch like this:

To successfully complete what makes Alexander, you have to pre-examine the basic principles and veyvinga movement tattinga, popping, and so on. Do not be afraid of these words in the "School Dragon" you will find information on each direction and will discover videos with detailed analysis of any motion. Illusionary style, professed here, the closest that you can watch the video in the beginning of this article. This school - my personal choice.

2. Good lessons dubstep and Electric Boogie is on channel MotionUD.

3. Of foreign channels can be identified TheRussianTiger and el Tiro. Thanks to the latter, you will quickly learn to perform relatively "dancing robot".

4. Good video, dedicated to the break-dance, is in schools Break Dance School and "Breakwater». Again, this style at home to practice difficult due to their large space required and special flooring.

Remember, the main thing - a genuine desire and regular practice. Without one, the other will not. In this case, the desire and practice - a universal remedy for all "does not work."

Good luck in your endeavors dance!
