We talk about five exotic dance styles in the city

The IMC author found five exotic dance styles in Yekaterinburg: from African dance to acrobatic exercises on canvases.

African dances

It turns out that there are studios in Yekaterinburg where everyone can learn African and Afro-Peruvian dances. African dance is considered to be the oldest form of choreography in the world. There are many varieties of traditional African dances: warrior dances, initiation dances, hunters' dances, love dances, harvest dances, a welcome dance in honor of a dear guest, dances that summon spirits and dances of healing.

Dances from Africa are also characterized by movements not in pairs, but not solo either: usually in African tribes, group performances are divided by gender (men dance for women, women for men). Also an important feature of African dance is the presence of percussion instruments, the inhabitants of the southern continent do not play the drum for the simple performance of music, the drum for them is a synonym for movement. The dance school Elcuba will teach the entire complex of dances of the peoples of Africa, as well as the dancer from Mexico, Talia Tello, will help to master the Afro-Peruvian styles (information in the Vkontakte group).

Indian dances

One of the oldest choreographic styles dates back 5000 years, having started as a ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva. Classical dance in India is considered one of the forms of yoga, which embodies the unity of the physical and spiritual.

Indian dances are a variety of styles. The most common types are the grace of temple art (Odissi style), the elegance of palace festivals (Kathak style), as well as what we are used to seeing in Indian cinema (Bollywood style). The art of controlling emotions brings Indian dance closer to the art of theater, and the plots of living myths and legends connect ancient times with modern times with an invisible thread. Indian dance studios "Jagannath" and "Santosh" are invited to learn the exotic direction.

Canvas dancing

In the studios of canvas dancing and aerial gymnastics today everyone can feel like a circus gymnast, and in specialized schools you will be taught graceful flight and pirouettes on the aerial ring.

It is difficult to determine the exact origin of this art form. The origins of the dance direction arose in the 17th century in China: gymnasts performed their tricks suspended on belts. But aerial acrobatics as a direction could only appear in the 20th century, when synthetic fabrics were invented that can withstand the weight of a person.

Classes in such schools combine choreography, sports and acrobatic elements. Regular training will help develop flexibility, agility, endurance, strength skills, and the ability to balance. In today's trendy direction, the pole dance studio "Invasion" and the pole dance studio Poleart are waiting for you.

West Coast Swing

West Coast Swing is a couples dance that has its origins in Lindy Hop. The direction refers to social dances such as hustle, salsa or boogie-woogie. West Coast Swing is distinguished by its softness, smoothness and

musicality. You can dance it in a club, at a house party, in a cafe and on the street. The dance has a characteristic feature - to dance "in a narrow corridor" (dancing in a slot), and this does not require much space.

The history of dance goes back to the musical trends that were popular in the 1940s and 50s, later combined into rock and roll. As an independent direction, West Coast Swing broke away only in the 1980s and continues to evolve, adapting to modern music, fashion, and the latest dance trends. In Russia, dance has become popular only in the last few years. In Yekaterinburg, a new pair direction will be taught at the PROJECT dance studio and at the GallaDance dance club.

Quickstep or Fast Foxtrot

Quickstep is one of the five dances of the European program in ballroom dancing. Like the foxtrot, the dance is included in the standard European competition program. The quickstep is called the dance of joy because of its perky nature, and today it is the most fun and carefree dance. Its movements are simple, beginners will not find it difficult to master them, and for dance masters, the fast foxtrot will be of interest to the richness of variations and improvisations.

The first dancers of quickstep were Africans, they performed the dance during the First World War in the suburbs of New York. The origin of the quickstep is connected with the foxtrot. In the 20s of the last century, these two dance directions diverged, the foxtrot tempo became slower, and the quickstep became its fast variety. The dance was standardized in 1927, but today's quickstep is no longer the same as the one danced in the 1920s. You can learn the basics of joyful dance in Yekaterinburg at the Shar Academy of Arts and at Alla Glukhova's dance school.

10 tips for beginners to know

1. What is the essence of poledance?

Poledance is a dance that combines elements of choreography, acrobatics and gymnastics. Do not confuse Poledance with the usual striptease or strip plastic, because during this sport there is a significant physical load. It's like gymnastics on the bar, only the pole is upright.

Pole dancing is especially suitable for women who often slouch. It has a good effect on muscles and joints. Therefore, by exercising regularly, you will achieve a beautiful posture and, as a result, an easy gait.

2. How does this affect my body? Why is poledance good for health?

Pole is a great exerciser for arms, legs, back and abs. Poledance not only helps to get rid of complexes, it teaches you to move beautifully, improves stretching and endurance, and also helps to lose weight and make your figure slim. During the exercises on the pole, you lose a large number of calories, the muscles are tightened and strengthened. Active movements speed up the metabolism, thus increasing energy consumption and forming a beautiful body. This happens almost imperceptibly, because during the dance it is much more interesting to form relief muscles and beautiful skin than sweating in the gym.

3. What do I need to bring to my first poledance class?

Pole dancing involves serious physical activity. Therefore, before each lesson, we warm up all the muscles of the body, joints, do stretching exercises. This requires clothing that will cover the entire body, thereby retaining more heat. Therefore, for a warm-up, we recommend using long T-shirts, T-shirts, leggings, leggings. A good warm-up, when all muscles, ligaments and joints are involved, allows you to avoid serious injuries and sprains.

In addition to warm-up clothes, you need to have a uniform for training - a short top and short shorts. The body must be in constant contact with the pole, so this is the kind of equipment that is needed. In long clothes, you will not be able to stay on the pole.

4. How are the poledance classes at your school?

All our classes begin with a warm-up. First comes a set of exercises for warming up the muscles, then stretching and flexibility exercises, then for strength in the arms, back, etc. Next, we proceed directly to classes with the pylon.

Pole dancing requires a special approach. Our teachers work with students who have different physical fitness and expectations from the lessons. In our classes, we learn tricks, twists, stalls (dance on the floor, near the pole) and learn to combine all this into a beautiful, graceful, feminine and sexy dance.

In our school, you can start poledance without being physically fit. The program of our classes is designed so that you first master the basics with a gradual increase in intensity and load. You yourself will not notice how, after a few lessons, you will already be able to perform tricks that previously seemed unrealistic.

5. How is the Polepassion school different from other similar schools in Kyiv?

Polepassion classes are held in small groups of up to 7 people. When attending a poledance class, you can be sure that no one else will take your pole! You will dance on it 100% of the time, that is, a whole hour.

Teachers, true professionals and experts in love with their work, as well as an individual approach distinguishes our school from others of its kind. These benefits allow you to exercise effectively while developing strength, sexuality and flexibility!

We have an affordable price! You can sign up for a trial class to see if you want to continue with poledance. You will have the opportunity, for a nominal fee, to try your hand at the art of pole dancing, and then make an informed decision. Check out all the necessary information on our website, look at the photos - we are waiting for your call!

6. Tell us about CrossFit training - what is it and what are they for?

CrossFit - a word of English origin: cross - cross, combine, force; fit - in good shape, strong, healthy. There is no exact analogue of the word crossfit in Russian. CrossFit is a broad concept, it is a set of training, a fitness exercise program designed to work with all muscle groups, which brings up the strength and endurance of an athlete.

When the need arose for training suitable for any sport and people of all fitness levels, CrossFit was born. This technique includes the techniques of such sports areas as light and weightlifting, gymnastics, bodybuilding, powerlifting.

CrossFit is a complex of trainings for the work of various muscle groups (sometimes several at the same time) with high intensity. CrossFit develops not only the muscles of the athlete, but also trains the heart muscle, respiratory system and brings up the overall endurance of the body.

7. Don't you think CrossFit is too aggressive for the female body?

Many women feel that CrossFit exercises are not suitable for their fragile bodies and they will not be able to withstand training. Fortunately, these fears are unfounded. You can train, having any physical fitness, and at any age. You have the opportunity to independently select a load for yourself, based on your own feelings.

How useful is CrossFit for women? A variety of exercises and the high intensity of their implementation affects the metabolic rate, so the body begins to actively burn subcutaneous fat. Interestingly, this state is maintained even after the end of classes, for several more hours. CrossFit for women is an effective way to quickly get rid of excess weight and put your body in order.

8. Are there any health restrictions, such as CrossFit? How do you follow this?

Given the high intensity of this set of exercises, of course, there is an extensive list of contraindications. Simply put, CrossFit can be done by those whose health does not cause any concern. However, below we provide a list of contraindications when it is absolutely impossible to do CrossFit:
• Diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
• Any recent trauma;
• Recent surgery;
• Pathology of the musculoskeletal system;

Do not underestimate the upcoming load and before deciding to do CrossFit, you should consult a doctor.

Before class, the trainer asks about various illnesses/injuries/general fitness; then he explains safety precautions, and before starting the lesson, he shows how to perform all the exercises: how to do push-ups, pump the press, legs, etc. correctly.

9. Tell us about exotic poledance? What is this direction and what benefits does it bring to the body?

Exotic Pauldance is, first of all, a dance that symbolizes women's freedom, joy, femininity, theatricality and artistry. All women who want to discover new facets of their character and their sexuality, regardless of age, height and configuration, can practice this dance .

10. Do I need to have some basic physical fitness to practice pole dancing? How do you select students for your school?

Being physically fit is an advantage, but not a requirement to start training. Most people who have expressed a desire to take up pole dancing have no sports or dance experience.
