Poor Shoulder Training Makes Other Parts Look Unattractive! Learning Mongolian Dance Requires Focus on Shoulder Movements
Any dance learning must attach importance to basic training, even dancers who dance very well every day will insist on practicing. What do they practice? They practice basic movements.
Mongolian dance is a very popular ethnic dance, learning it also depends on basic movements, if the foundation is solid, the charm of Mongolian dance can be embodied. Shoulder movements are the most important. 'Dancing Half the Sky' believes that if you master shoulder movements, you will be considered to belong to the type of 'dancing well' in other people's eyes.
Mongolian dance's shoulder movements mainly include six types: hard shoulder, soft shoulder, revolving shoulder, shrugging shoulder, shaking shoulder, and fractured shoulder.
Hard shoulder
Represents the Mongolian people's steadfast and majestic personality characteristics.
Alternating shoulders forward and backward is a hard shoulder. As the name suggests, hard shoulder, the shoulder must be forced, the movement is hard and not soft, the movement must be very crisp and efficient.
Hard shoulder is the foundation of shoulder movements, it can form a basic posture to stand, using the shoulder as the core, to and fro sway, the arms follow sway. This movement is often combined with hard wrists in Mongolian dance.
When doing a hard shoulder movement, you must pay attention to the inner flexibility, you must be able to control your shoulders, come and go smoothly.
The movement must not be dry and hard, the amplitude is too large, the arms are not moving, it will look very stiff. The shoulder must be relaxed, use the wrists and arms to assist in going back and forth. Especially pay attention, don't hunch your neck.
Small tips: When arranging dance movements, we often see single hard shoulder (that is, a shake once), the more difficult is double hard shoulder (that is, when doing a movement, the shoulders shake twice). When dancing, if you add double hard shoulder movement, it will be more novel and distinctive.
Soft shoulder
Showed the Mongolian people's dignified, steady and reserved inner characteristics.
Soft shoulder is formed on the basis of hard shoulder, it is slow and flexible. It is often manifested in women's dance.
