078 Working hard
“Let’s start from scratch.”
"The first four shots, run on the spot."
"The second four-shot can be divided into four-shot movements. The first one is to cross your feet and extend your hands to the sides as you follow the steps. Just like an extraordinary team, your hands and feet open together; the second one is to retract your hands and feet together, and when your feet are put together, your hands are ready to open upwards."
"The third stroke, the body is raised along the movement of both hands, the feet are kept together and jump gently, the hands are opened and a cheering posture is made; the last is the fourth stroke, retracting the hands again, and the body is withdrawn together with the movement of both hands, reappearing again in the posture of preparing for running, and preparing for the next dance moves."
The movement is not difficult at all. After Li Rongxia's clear and accurate explanation, and the starting point, process and end point of the movement's start, bearing, rotation and end point, the entire action line and posture framework are all clear at a glance, and dance practice seems to have become easier immediately.
After the four eight beats, Kim Jae-hwan couldn't believe it. This was the dance move that left him helpless all day long. "Is it that easy to dance?"
Looking at Kim Jae-hwan with a surprised face, Li Rongxia couldn't help but laugh, "It's too early to start proud now. It's time to be proud after learning all the dance steps."
Kim Jae-hwan scratched her head embarrassedly, wanting to express her gratitude, but realized that the dance steps had just begun and she needed to continue to trouble Lee Yong-ha, so she just circled her tongue twice and couldn't say it.
"And, movements cannot be just movements. If they just stay at the action level, then this is movement, not dance steps. So how can you turn movements into dance steps?"
Li Rongxia's explanation made Kim Jae-hwan completely concentrate, but his brain still lacked dance cells and could not give an answer. His stupid appearance made Li Rongxia laugh and continued without waiting for the answer.
"First, we need to be clear about the veins between the movements and the movements and connect the movements. For example, if you extend your hands, then where should the hand movements be extended, whether they are fully extended or slightly flexed, and then what tracks the arms need to go back to where they are. These details are necessary processes for analyzing dance movements."
Of course, if you are a natural dancer or an excellent dancer with solid basic skills, you don’t need to pursue these details and integrate them into the music according to your own feelings; but Kim Jae-hwan is obviously not. Then, when you start from the basics, using physics and mathematics to analyze dance movements can make your body movements find the corresponding position and angle, and the entire dance movement will become clear and accurate.
Wait until you are proficient in the movements, then slowly adapt to the music and rhythm, and find a dance method that suits you.
"Secondly, every movement needs to be in place, because the dance movement is the lines and angles. The accuracy of the movement can present such a composition, and naturally it can become better. Many times, if the movement is not in place, the lines of the hands and feet will look at a loss, and the dance steps will be difficult to look good. In the final analysis, it is because your interpretation of the movement is not in place, or when the performance is not in place."
While explaining and demonstrating, Li Rongxia immediately made the dance clearer, as if he had untied a ball of yarn, and the messy ball of yarn was found again.
Kim Jae-hwan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Ahhhh, I know, that's what voguing means, right?"
"voguing" is a dance style, inspired by the world's most famous fashion bible "vogue". Dancers began to imitate the movements of magazine models, showing postures, lines, and angles, and making full use of the lines of arms and legs to show the beauty of composition.
"Yes!" Li Rongxia also laughed, "Lines and rhythm, this is one of the most wonderful parts of dance, so we need to ensure that each movement is accurate and then connect it." Then, Li Rongxia cuts into the theme, "In the standing posture, your feet should be parallel to your shoulders, and your hands should be parallel to your shoulder lines. After determining the angle, let the lines extend out, so that the fingertips can feel the extension as much as possible..."
Little by little, Lee Yong-ha began to correct Kim Jae-hwan's dance moves. After the detailed structure, things seemed to become simple and easy to understand, and it became easier to understand. Although Kim Jae-hwan's body movements were still a little bit unable to keep up, at least things were no longer a mess, and efforts could see the direction.
Gradually, Kim Jae-hwan's irritable and restless mood settled down to learn.
"No, the back of the hand is facing up, the palm of the hand is facing down..."
"Footsteps. Well, don't worry, if you don't have it once, you can do it twice, three times, and four times, it's always OK."
"Haha, don't look at my eyes, just interpret it according to your style... Hahahahaha, what style are you?"
It's late at night.
Time for immersive practice always flies, as if it was less than two o'clock in the previous second, but in the blink of an eye, the hour hand had already passed four o'clock quarters.
Teaching Kim Jae-hwan's process is like guiding a baby to learn to walk. Even the simplest steps will take some time, and it is easy to get busy when it is coherent.
However, this basic splitting is just right for Li Rongxia. Reorganizing the framework and context of the entire dance move is not only to deepen memory, but also to deepen understanding, reduce some impatience, and truly calm down and learn dance moves from scratch.
After more than two hours, Li Rongxia also gained a lot and completely remembered the dance steps. The next two days were repeated over and over again, allowing the muscles to remember the dance steps, and slowly finding room for breathing, gaining enough strength for dancing and singing.
"How is it? Can you sort it out completely now?" Li Rongxia looked at Kim Jae-hwan, who was sweating profusely in front of her and asked with a smile.
Kim Jae-hwan was still a little nervous, "If you play the rhythm yourself, there is no problem, but if you turn on the accompaniment..." His expression was still a little embarrassed.
Lee Yongxia patted Kim Jae-hwan on the shoulder, "Don't think about becoming fat in one bite, and do it step by step. Wait until tomorrow morning-ah, this morning, you should do the accompaniment dance exercises first, so that the muscles of the body can adapt to all the dance processes. In this way, even if the dance steps are forgotten because the accompaniment speed is too fast, the body can still remember the subsequent movements and can still be carried on."
"But I still forgot..." Kim Jae-hwan touched the back of her neck and muttered.
Li Rongxia chuckled, "Even a stage superstar like Rain and Gu Qiyue may forget the dance steps, but standing on the stage without pause or giving up. The performance still has to continue. Therefore, even if we forget the dance steps, we must find a way to keep the performance going."
Kim Jae-hwan was slightly shocked, and immediately made a correct gesture and said with a straightforward look, "Yes, I understand."
Looking at Kim Jae-hwan's respectful appearance, Lee Yong-ha couldn't help but chuckled, "Don't worry, even if I'm hungry, I won't eat people."
Kim Jae-hwan's eyes were wide open, and his eyes almost fell out.
Chapter completed!
