5 dance styles for different temperaments | Fitness

As the unsurpassed Marlene Dietrich once said, "a true woman does not worry, but excites." One of the most effective ways to achieve this is dance. All about the types and features of dance programs - in the stories of Dance Studio by World Class trainers.

Folk dance (translated from English as "folk dance") is a genre that combines folk dance and modern music. This direction is a symbiosis of the most diverse dances of the peoples of the world: Spanish flamenco, Irish, Indian, Russian folk and Greek, Mexican dances, etc.

The origin of folk dance has deep roots. Ancient people copied the movements of animals, imitated natural phenomena - this is how the primitive dance was born, which evolved into a real way of communication and manifestation of feelings. In addition, ritual mysteries, ceremonial, religious and ethnic rites, etc. had an important influence on folk dance. For example, there were healer dances that drove out evil spirits and had healing functions. The same function, for example, was performed by a tarantella. The dance itself got its name from the tarantula, the poison from the bite of which could only be removed with sweat - for this infected person was forced to spin in a frenzied dance.

The experience, talent and imagination of more than one generation have been invested in the creation and evolution of folk dance. Folk dance cannot be confused with any other type of dance. It is transmitted ethnically and genetically from generation to generation, regardless of faith and nationality. All these traditional signs have been developed over the centuries, reflecting the centuries-old history of the people.

The greatest choreographer who changed the course of development of world choreographic art and made folk dance the property of world culture — Igor Moiseev. His interest in folk art began at the beginning of 1930s, when he traveled on foot and on horseback throughout Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, the Caucasus, collecting images of dance folklore. In 1937, he created a troupe of 40 people, which included amateur artists, graduates of choreographic schools and experienced ballet professionals. The very next year, the ensemble danced at a government concert at the Bolshoi Theater. In the repertoire of the ensemble, folklore samples have received a new life and have been preserved for several generations of viewers around the world. For this purpose, Igor Moiseev used all the means of stage culture: all types and types of dances, symphonic music, drama, scenography, acting skills.

World Class allows you to get acquainted with the world of folk dance, so that every connoisseur of dance programs can not only immerse himself in the culture of different nationalities, but also get everything that fitness gives: cardio load, correct posture, strengthening of all muscle groups, development of the vestibular apparatus , a favorable effect on the emotional state.

For example, in Indian dances, the main emphasis is on the hands and the position of the head - with just your hands you can tell a whole life story. In Russian dances, these are incendiary dances and round dances, in Irish dances, great footwork and body setting.

“Contemporary-dan” is a body language that conveys the innermost thoughts and feelings of a dancer to music. "Contemporary" appeared in dance schools in the USA and Europe in the 60s of the XX century. He came to the USSR only in the 80s. The founder of the modern style of these dances is the young dancer Isadora Duncan, who rejected classical ballet and subsequently created modern dance. She was repeatedly reproached for deviating from the true dance school, however, the girl did not yield to her principles and argued that any movement would be beautiful only when it truthfully and sincerely expresses feelings and thoughts. Thus, it was Isadora who initiated the dance, the main task of which is to learn to hear your inner voice and express it with the help of your body. Despite Duncan's success, this dance direction began to develop only 30 years later, after her death. In addition to Isadora Duncan, well-known dancers Marie Rambert and Martha Graham, as well as choreographers Rudolf von Laban and Merce Cunningham, also participated in the development of "contemporary".

This style of modern choreography has absorbed a bit of dance culture from the West (classical dance, modern, jazz), a little from the East, so that the result is a harmonious, beautiful, natural dance - an expression of the personal "I".

Contemporary dance is represented in the network of World Class clubs as a desire to follow new trends and styles. The teacher will provide competent support to both beginners and advanced dancers, and will also become a guide-mentor on the way to developing the harmony of body and soul and establishing a connection between the physical and spiritual.

That is why special attention during the lessons is given to the ability to breathe, be aware of your body, let go of thoughts and show emotions. At the Contemporary lessons, the members of our club learn to coordinate the body and mind. And, if in the classical dance school it takes years of training to develop muscle strength, then in “modern dance”, thanks to the basics of yoga and oriental practices, all participants quickly master amazing physical abilities, which allows everyone to express themselves as much as possible through dance.

Uniform for training - loose: loose-fitting trousers or leggings, tunic, T-shirt, something that will not hinder body movements.

To look inside the human soul, to know oneself, to learn to accumulate emotions, energy and thoughts in order to give them to the audience - these are the features of Contemporary Dance. An integral part of the classes is improvisation - free improvisation that brings pleasure and the feeling of flying in a beautiful, light and free Contemporary Dance!

“The founder of Lady’s Style is considered to be Willy Nina, a dark-skinned dancer in the early 1960s in New York. Vogue is a dance style based on model poses and catwalk walk. Its distinguishing features are a quick technique of moving the hands, a frilly mannered gait, falls, rotations, and emotional play. Vogue, like a dance, traces its history back to the 70s of the twentieth century. The style originated in the Harlem Prison, located in New York's northern Manhattan borough, where inmates amused themselves by imitating the poses of magazine models.

Initially, it was a normal copy of pos. Subsequently, ironic posing was supplemented by movement and music, transforming into a dance.

Quickly enough, Vogue became a popular form of entertainment for the sexually liberated people of New York.

A new round of popularity for Vogue occurred in 1990 after the release of Madonna's "Vogue" video. The style gradually began to penetrate the masses and dance culture not only in the United States, but also in Europe and formed the basis of the Lady's style direction.

I have been teaching Lady's style in the World Class club network for over 10 years and I can say with confidence: this is the dance in which a woman most openly shows her inner world. Lady's style combines elements of such styles as Go-Go, ragga, dancehall, R'n'B and strip plastic.

Dance allows you to experiment not only with styles, but also with images: Lady's Style is an opportunity to prove yourself in a variety of roles: vamps, ladies or panthers before jumping. As a result, you will get an impressive physical load that activates all muscle groups. Smooth transitions from a standing position to a lying position, graceful movements, amplitude swings - all this is Lady's style.

The dance attracts many admiring glances from both women and men.

Lady's Style is designed for women of all ages. It is this style that allows a woman to feel that she can be different, attractive, elegant, mysterious.

I would advise you to start training in any comfortable sportswear in which you feel most attractive. In this dance, the main thing is the mood. From shoes at the initial stage, it is better to choose dance sneakers that allow you to stretch the toe, in the future you can move on to classes in heels.

The peculiarity of teaching this style in our network is that you can attend group lessons and hone your skills in personal classes, where we can bring any fantasy to life, up to staging an individual performance or recording a video clip. It is a style of unlimited possibilities and an uplifting lesson."

“The history of this dance, as the name implies, began in Argentina. At first, it was performed by former slaves to the accompaniment of drums. At the end of the 19th century, the Argentine port city of Buenos Aires became extremely popular among expats. People from different countries of Europe came here in search of a better life and brought their own musical traditions and instruments with them. Then in Buenos Aires, as a result of the mixing of various musical cultures and trends, a previously unknown dance, the tango, is formed and developed. At first it was cheerful, light, sometimes even vulgar, so for a long time it remained a dance of the lower strata of society. In those days, tango was danced in taverns, barrack yards, brothels and just on the streets in the poorest quarters of the city. At the beginning of the 20th century, among the instruments playing music for tango, a bandoneon appeared - an instrument resembling an organ in its sound. He added notes of drama to light music. With his appearance, the tango became slower, tones of intimacy appeared in it. At that time, most of the population of Buenos Aires were men. The lyrics of the tango are a reflection of sadness and longing for a woman. For a male tailor, there were only brief moments of intimacy with a woman. This happened when he held her in his arms, dancing the tango. At such moments, a man was seized with love, and this feeling somehow reconciled him with life. In tango there is always you, your feelings and music.

Tango develops coordination, balance, elegance of movements, trains and forces many muscle groups to work as a whole, develops musicality and sensuality. For women, especially in our hectic and stressful time, this dance is an opportunity to relax the brain and disconnect from everything external and direct your attention deep into yourself, devote time only to yourself and your feelings - only under this condition will it be possible to dance tango. For a man, this is an opportunity to show his strength, power and, at the same time, responsibility for his partner, since she takes every step only with the permission and guidance of her partner. Tango is the unity of two bodies, two universes, two souls and a joint flight into space, one meditation for two.”

(Maxim Kartsev)

“Modern dance as a direction appeared at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the United States and Germany. In America, the name was associated with stage choreography that opposed the standards of classical ballet. For those who practiced modern dance, it was important to present a choreography of a new order, corresponding to the man of the new century and his spiritual needs. The principles of such art can be considered the negation of traditions and the transmission of new stories through unique elements of dance and plasticity. In their long war with clichés, modernist dancers were unable to completely abandon traditional ballet forms.
