Chapter 501: Square Dance (Part I)
Yu Letian and others don't understand what kind of dance Li Youyang is dancing in this song "Flower Messenger", but they just feel that they are close to the people, cordial, familiar and easy to learn, and it is not difficult to dance, as if they have a kind of magic, which is easy to infect the people they see, so that everyone will involuntarily dance along. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's really a popular dance, and I have a hunch that it must be spreading so fast that it's hard to imagine dancing partyrock After that kind of difficult street dance, Li Youyang can return in a short time, return to the popular, return to the whole people, this is really a discipline that looks very close to everyone, everyone seems to be very familiar, there is a familiar commonality in it, but this is really a very novel dance method, but what should this dance method be called. is different from those classic electronic music in Li Yuyang, such as "God is a Girl" and "Social Shake", we can not care about the dance steps, just sway to the rhythm at will. And this kind of dance is neat, good-looking, systematically choreographed, and truly disciplined. ”
Not only a few Yu Lotte, this kind of disciplined and people-friendly dance method, in another city, Niya, who is known as the first person in the Chinese dance industry, saw it at this time, and couldn't help but express the above feelings.
So what is this kind of rule-based dance form that is easy to see as a national one? Yu Lotian doesn't understand, Niya can't understand it, but Li Youyang, who dances, can't be clearer.
In the original version of Li Keqin's "Flower Messenger", the dance used more of the slow four dance steps similar to the warrior's disco that was popular at that time, which is the world-famous disco.
Disco (English: disco), from the French discothèque, means those dance halls that play recorded dance music, disco is the abbreviation of discotheque, originally meaning record ball, originally referring to the music of black people dancing according to the recording in nightclubs, in the 70s actually became a general term for any new dance music. Compared to rock, it features a powerful, unweighted, metronome-like 4/4 beat with simple lyrics and tunes.
Of course, this disco is also one of the indelible memories of Li Youyang's childhood on earth, if nothing else, just because in that era, Li Youyang's parents sincerely loved this way of dancing, in other words, disco was popular in that era.
The popularity of DISCO at the time was staggering. On Earth. Lee's parents are both big fans of disco, and there is no need to be overly elaborate about disco costumes, but the young British who danced wildly in the dazzling colorful lights and shadows at first invariably had a similar dress.
They wore shawl hair like dried silk noodles, tight-fitting white shirts, distressed whiskered jeans, and all kinds of glitter and metal rings around their bodies, and spread to China in the same fashion, creating a thrilling and intense atmosphere. Therefore, the research results of social and anthropologists show that human beings have an instinctive demand for singing and dancing. The DISCO has brought a refreshing choice to the Chinese people who have always respected the subtle, elegant, polite and solemn.
To dance disco you have to forget your identity, status, education, and all the personality masks that prevent you from letting go of your hands and feet. In today's disco ballroom, young people can feel their hearts beat when they walk onto the dance floor in T-shirts, jeans and high-top sneakers. White-collar men's suits and leather shoes go directly to the disco dance hall without changing their clothes from the company. The crisp suit is a little weird in the swirling shadows, but no one accuses you of being out of place, as long as you have fun. The disco has become very accommodating for dress. You can even often see old men and women from the north gathering in a corner of the park, wearing bloated cotton clothes and cotton pants to twist the elderly disco.
Disco created the entertainment of Li Youyang's parents' time, but this is not important, the important thing is that Li Youyang has always believed that disco has indirectly or directly created another dance form in China and even around the world.
This form of dance is called the square dance.
That's right, square dancing.
There are many interpretations of square dancing, such as:
Square dance is the largest system in dance art, named because it gathers in the square, integrating self-entertainment and performance, with group dance as the main form of performance, and entertainment as the main purpose.
Square dances are spontaneously organized by the masses in public places, and most of the participants are middle-aged and elderly, among which most of them are aunts. Square dance is a dance created by the people, and it is a dance exclusive to the people, because of the different nationalities, different regions, and different groups, so the dance form of square dance is also different.
Square dance is popular in recent years, so it is also called modern dance, it is a fitness dance of modern urban people, and many square dances are choreographed in combination with modern popular factors, so they are closely related to modern life.
Square dancing is not performed in a theater, where the stage curtain separates the audience from the actors, and is divided into a stage performance area and an audience appreciation area, separating the audience from the actors. Square dance, on the other hand, is performed in front of the audience, where at least three of the actors perform directly in front of the audience, and the actors and the audience can communicate directly. As Lu Xun once said, the particularity of the enjoyment of beauty is in directness. The loss of "directness" will inevitably affect and damage the "enjoyment of beauty" The audience is one, and the audience and the actors mingle and merge into one, so that the audience has a special feeling.
Square dance is a highly participatory performing art form. The performances are all in the form of group dances, with dozens of people and hundreds of people. Square dance must be performed in the square, and the performance venue is generally relatively wide, and the number of performers should not be too small. Therefore, square dancing is generally expressed in the form of group dance. Most of the performances in the spacious venue do not require solo dances, duo dances, or trio dances
.......
This is really a dance with a very large system, and it is also a dance form that people love and hate, and those who love it, if they don't dance for a day, will be like losing their souls, as if they have been poisoned, and they have no strength to do anything. After all, this is the best dance step for people to communicate with each other, cultivate sentiments, improve personal self-confidence and strengthen the body.
On the earth, square dance enthusiasts regardless of time, place and occasion of the square dance has become a headache, looking for a balance of "you dance happily, I sleep peacefully", it seems to have become the Goldbach conjecture in urban management, so that there are loudspeakers, Tibetan mastiffs, throwing mice and other vicious "cracking" methods. In addition, in response to the problem of square dancing disturbing the people, some local cultural management departments have signed conventions on square cultural activities with representatives of cultural teams and citizens, restricting square cultural activities in terms of venue, duration, time period, volume, etc., and educating and punishing illegal teams, with obvious results.
But that's all on Earth, and what about square dancing being brought into the world?
Because it was Li Youyang who brought it, this kind of dance method is so tall and up, and even the initiator Li Youyang didn't expect that after the square dance came to this world, the form of dancing for all the people was so beautiful and crazy!
Therefore, sometimes whether an art form is high-end or not does not depend on the art itself, but on the person who performs it. (To be continued.) )
