The preparatory part.

The preparatory part includes a varied program of dance elements in the stalls, work from points and a relaxation system.

The state of rest at the first stage of preparation plays an important role in the formation of a dancer. The student, who is in the stalls, is lying relaxed all the muscles of his body in the "asterisk" position. The arms are parallel to the legs, and the legs are shoulder-width apart. You need to feel every point of contact with the floor. Music at this stage of preparation should be an accompanying, not a guiding link. Little by little, the student is mastered with his relaxed body and work begins from points in the prone position. The process is similar to the principle of puppets, when a thread seems to hold a person, for example, by a brush and leading the whole body. Muscles not involved in this exercise should be absolutely calm. The teacher says, from what points you need to work now and which way to turn. Movement is possible not only from side to side, but also up and down. Also smooth and leisurely.

Work from points in the first stage of preparation is inherently slow and smooth movements.

Exercises sitting also play an important role. They focus on relaxing the muscles of the back and spine. During these exercises, the spine relaxes from bottom to top. In the exercise sitting a variety of stretch marks are included.

Position 1.3 - both arms crossed in front of the chest. The 4th position is one hand over head, the other to the side. The 5th position is the 3rd position of classical dance.

2. Jazz Dance second outside. Jazz heand

Jazz dance second. The position of the hand with strained, fingers apart.

Stand out positions Jazz Dance second outside. The arms of the arms are retracted to the sides at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the body. The forearms open to the sides parallel to the floor, fingers spread.

 

3. Jazz Dance second inside.

The positions of the Jazz Dance second are highlighted. The shoulders are moved to the sides, the forearms from the elbow are turned inwards towards the chest. Palms in front of the chest.

 

4. Jazz Dance Fifth

Jazz dance also involves hands. Usually the brush is pointing forward, but can be lowered down and retracted.

 

5. Jerk Position

The shoulders are laid back, and the forearm is forward. Hands and fingers are relaxed.

 

6. Arhc - Arch "arch"

The position of the torso with the hands on the 3rd pos. (Classic version) in point, the spine is curved more back. Here, the application of the position of "arch", I compare with the "arch" in the hands.

 

7. Positions of legs are applied both classical and jazz: mainly parallel (2nd)

8. Auto- position out

Apply to the position of the arms and legs; open, inverted.

 

9. In- position inward

Apply to the position of the arms and legs; closed position.

 

10. Point

The extended position of the foot or hand.

 

11. Flex (heel stand, ball drop, ball stand heel drop)

Flex (standing on the heel, lowering the foot on the pad, standing on the pad)

Contracted position of the foot or hand. We are talking about the movements of loaded feet, heel drop starts from the position: a loaded foot pad lightly touches the floor (ball stand). Then he falls on the whole foot (heel drop). Further, the transfer of body gravity on the heel (heel stand). Basically, these are Point and Flex variants.

 

12. Actuation

The movement associated with the reversal of loaded feet in the out-position.

 

13. Adduction

Movement opposite to attribution

 

14. Isolation

Each part of the body forms its own isolated voltage field and center of movement.
