The teacher who teaches Latin dance says that the key to changing the center of gravity in situ is to rotate the thigh, but the online video seems not, right?

When twisting the hips in place, pay attention to shifting the center of gravity to the front of the sole of the foot and tightening the inside of the leg. Pay attention to press your feet completely on the ground in every movement. Don't think about twisting your hips, think about the front and rear movements of your main leg hips every step.

In the process of dancing, "main leg/foot" and "strength leg/foot" are constantly changing, so it is reasonable to think that dancing is a dynamic process, involving "current main leg/foot" and "current strength leg/foot"

At a certain moment in the process of dancing, the leg/foot supporting the body weight is called "current main leg/foot"; Another kind of leg/foot that does not support weight is called "current strength leg/foot". Generally speaking, in the process of dancing, there are two movements at the same time: the rolling/moving of the center of gravity at different parts of the "current main leg/foot" and the stepping/moving of the "current power leg/foot".

Extended data:

1, longitudinal traction skills. Also known as posture requirements. That is, when the whole body is relaxed, look for the straight feeling of the ceiling on the top of the head, along the longitudinal traction from the lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae to the top of the head, abdominal distension and chest expansion, flat back, waist and buttocks pulling up, shoulders sinking, knees adducted and perpendicular to the ground.

2. Plane traction skills. This is the key to realize the shift of center of gravity. The most important point is that the legs and feet are driven by the waist and hips, whether forward, backward, left or right: the feet move with you, the body moves with the hips, and the hips reach the body.

3. Reflex skills. The so-called reflexivity is to use the rotation consciousness of the waist axis to drive the (incomplete) rotation of the upper body. Its function is to help the human body push out the center of gravity. Once the center of gravity is in place, reflexivity disappears in the natural inclination. Reflection is not only a prelude to the rotating dance step, but also a transition between other dance steps. Without reflexive skills, the body will appear stiff; With reflexivity, the shift of center of gravity will be icing on the cake.
