What are all the basic movements of dance?

Bend; close, extend; glide; feet draw circles on the ground; strike; dissolve, melt; draw circles in the air; rise; pull up, pull up; movement of hands; direction of feet and body.

1. Plie (Bend) Plie is an activity in which the hip joints turn outward and the center of gravity of the body sinks. Do not stop in the squatting position. When sinking, the back is relatively lengthened and lifted at the same time. Plies are a warm-up action for the ankle, hip and knee joints and preparation for any jump.

Notes: When performing the Plie action, the instep must be vertically upward and cannot be tilted forward or backward.

1. Demi Plie (half, bent) Dance movement: Bend your knees as much as possible in the direction of your toes until your heels do not leave the ground, and the soles of your feet should be firmly on the floor. A good Demi Plie should have an elastic, flexible texture. It's impossible to be a good ballet dancer without a good Demi Plie.

2. Grand Plie (big, deep, curved): Dance movements in which the knees are fully bent until the thighs are close to the horizontal line, and the body is kept directly above. The Grand Plie in the first, fourth, and fifth positions The heel of Plie will passively and naturally rise off the ground. In the second position of Grand Plie, the heel will not be lifted and will be flat on the ground.

The purpose of the Grand Plie is to increase and extend the flexibility and tension of the ankle, knee and hip joints.

2. Battement Tendu (close, extend) The movable foot and the supporting foot have a close movement. We usually add Battement, which is divided into Grand Battement (large close) and Petit Battement (small close). combine). Tendu means to extend, stretch, stretch.

In the dance movement, slide the movable foot on the floor to an extended and elongated toe point position. You can move forward, sideways, or backward. The toe must not leave the ground, and then wipe the floor in the same way. Return to the original position, which can be starting from the first or fifth position.

1. Battement Tendu Releve (rising) or Battement Tendu Double (plural) dance movement: extend the battement tendu outwards to the point position with the moving feet, and then lift the heels again to become the point position of the battement tendu. , and then return to the original first or fifth position.

2. Battement Tendu With Demi Plie Dance Movement: Perform Battement Tendu back and make a Demi Plie at the same time.

3. Battement Tendu Degage (Italian school statement) Battement Tendu Jete (French school statement) Battement Tendu Glissade (Russian school statement) These three statements are basically the same action, but if you want to distinguish them carefully, The differences are as follows:

1. Battement Tendu Degage (liberation, departure) dance movement extends the movable feet outward to a few inches above the ground.

2. Battement Tendu Jete (throwing, throwing) dance moves are performed in the same way, but the moving feet are higher off the ground, about 45 degrees.

3. Battement Tendu Glissade (gliding) perform the same dance movements, with the moving feet just a little off the floor.

Roughly speaking, these three statements are the same action. They all wipe the floor with the movable foot and pass through the Battement Tendu to leave the ground. The texture of the action needs to be fast and agile when going out. Push the floor to reach the outside quickly and reach the outside quickly. Extend, pressing hard into the floor on the way back up.

4. Rond De Jambe A Terre (draw a circle with your feet on the ground). What should be noted in this action is that the circle extended by the movable foot must be as large as possible, and the supporting foot and stock plate must be fixed. The fixed side can shake because the movable foot draws a circle outward, especially the stock plate cannot tilt forward or backward.

1. Grand Rond De Jambe A Terre En Dehor Dance Movements: Perform Battement Tendu with your moving feet, move forward, pass to the side, then go around to the back, and then return to the first position.

2. Grand Rond De Jambe A Terre En Dedan Dance Movements: Perform Battement Tendu backwards, pass to the side, go around to the front, and then return to the first position.

3. Demi Rond De Jambe A Terre En Dehor Dance Movements Perform Battement Tendu forward, go around to the side, and then return to the first position.

4. Demi Rond De Jambe A Terre En Dedan Dance Movements: Perform Battement Tendu backwards, around to the side, and then return to the first position.

5. Battement Frappe (strike) dance movement: From the position of Sur Le Cou De Pied (leaning on the ankle), make the instep of the foot punch outwards powerfully and quickly and extend it (forward, sideways) or backward), you can reach the ground or in the air. This action is used to train the strength of pushing the instep outward.

6. Battement Fondu (dissolve, dissolve) The purpose of this action is to promote the coordination of the supporting leg and the movable leg working at the same time. Because it is also a bending action, for the convenience of teaching, the bending of the two legs is called For Plie, the bend of one foot is called Fondu.

7. Rond De Jambe En Lair (Drawing a Circle in the Air) The dance moves are performed in the same way as Rond De Jambe A Terre, but the moves are performed in the air by moving the legs. Then straighten both legs at the same time, extending the movable leg outward and away from the torso to the ground or air.

8. Battement Releve Lent (rising, slowly) dance movements: Move your feet to perform Battement Tendu (forward, side, and back) and slowly leave the ground.

9. Battement Retire (pull up, pull up) dance movement: pull up the toes of the movable foot along the supporting leg to the front, side, or behind the knee of the supporting leg.

10. Port De Bras (movement of hands) All dance movements of the hands are called Port De Bras. There are various opinions on the position of the hands due to different schools and factions. Taking the Russian faction as an example, there is a preliminary position and three basic positions:

1. In the preliminary position, the shoulders droop naturally and the hands are on the body. The lower part (about a fist distance away from the body) becomes an oval.

2. In the first position, keep the hands in an oval shape and rise to the height of the navel, with the palms facing you.

3. In the second position, open your hands to both sides of the body (also in an extended oval shape), as if hugging a big tree. The arms are not higher than the shoulders and the palms are forward, and the palms are not higher than the arms. .

4. In the third position, lift both hands up and diagonally in front of the head. To check the correct position, you can move your fingers while your eyes are looking straight. The last three fingers visible in the peripheral vision are used as the standard.

11. The direction of the feet and body (take Battement Tendu as an example)

1. Devant (in front) describes that the movable feet are already in front.

2. En Avant (forward) describes that the active foot is moving forward. When Battement Tendu En Avant, move the heel of the foot and move forward actively, and when returning, change the toe to move backward automatically. Only in this way can the requirement of turning outwards be fulfilled.

3. Derriere (at the back) describes that the movable foot is already behind.

4. En Arriere (towards the back) describes that the active foot is moving backwards. During Battement Tendu En Arriere, the toes of the moving foot are automatically moved backward, and when returning, the heel is automatically moved forward.

5. A Le Seconde (on the side or in the second position) describes that the moving foot is already on the side or in the second position.

6. De Cote (to the side or to the second position) describes that the movable foot is moving to the side or to the second position. The heel of the movable foot must be pushed forward when performing the action.

7. En Croix (in the shape of a cross), it is a cross form. The moving feet move sideways, backwards or sideways (vice versa). This continuous movement method is called En Croix.
