The first origins of pop dance can be traced back to the last century and include performances by gypsy dancers and folk choirs at village holidays.
Among other dance styles variety dance is distinguished by the fact that the dancer must have not only choreographic data and personality, but also a high level of acting skills. This is due to the fact that such a dance is not just refined movements, but a whole theatrical performance.
Foundation variety dance is improvisation. The dancer is obliged to reveal his soul to the audience, and memorized movements will not give the proper result and will not penetrate into their hearts.
Many performers of this dance claim that it is very similar to club dances. But still there are differences, and the main one is that the dancer of the club dance does not have the proper personality and acting skills.
If you send a child to this particular view, then he will definitely develop an ideal sense of rhythm and reveal his individuality. In where this direction is taught, there are two intertwined areas, acting and the study of movements. At the same time, it should be noted that much more attention is paid to the first, until the child reveals himself as a person, they will not give a special result.

Such teachers will be able to explain to the child that dance is history. And to tell this story you need to put your soul into it.

Let's take a closer look at what modern pop-sport dancing is?
They are a combination of modern variety dances with sports elements. Spectacular gymnastic exercises easily coexist in them with elegant plasticity and gracefulness of dance movements, turning into an amazing, spectacular performance on stage. In its most general form, a pop dance is a musical and choreographic number, with a well-thought-out idea and a clearly defined structure: it contains an exposition, a plot, a denouement or a culmination and a finale, and its dramatic structure includes both a plot and dance and game elements.
The pop dance studio conducts classes consisting of several stages.
They traditionally begin with a warm-up to warm up and prepare the muscles.
When the muscles are sufficiently warmed up, the main part of the lesson begins, during which dance movements, etudes, ligaments and acrobatic elements are learned and practiced.
At the same time, full-fledged production numbers are beginning to be prepared, which young dancers will show at performances. Thus, the lessons are held according to the general principle - from simple to complex. As you study the basic movements and connections, the numbers become more complicated and become more saturated and voluminous.
You can practice these sports dances from an early age, receiving great benefits for your body. Sports dancing for children is an excellent physical training, comparable in its intensity and loads that they contain, with classes in sports sections. During training, muscles are strengthened, stretching of muscles and ligaments develops, mobility and elasticity improve.

In addition, children's sports dances develop coordination, teach them to control their movements, forming an excellent posture and a smooth measured gait. Strong arms and legs, a toned, slender body - this is what the child is guaranteed to receive after these lessons. All his indefatigable energy is directed in the right direction and concentrated on creativity, during which he learns to express his emotions with movements and gestures.
Helps children's pop dance and character education. In the process of training, the child learns purposefulness and perseverance, the ability to achieve results, overcome all obstacles and barriers that prevent the achievement of the goal. Realizing that significant results depend only on his efforts, the child develops self-discipline and responsibility.

Sports variety dancing is a collective activity in which a child is involved, interacting with other children in the process of training. All this helps him get rid of unnecessary timidity, fears and anxieties, nip in the bud the appearance of complexes and clamps. Constantly working out spectacular performances, musicality and artistry develop, the child learns to look impressive and dignified in any environment and situation.

Dance… Variety, ballroom, folk, modern. Can he not be charming? As children, we all strive to move like our idols. We pose in front of a mirror, imagine and fantasize. And only the most determined of us in the end dare to enroll in the appropriate section or circle.
According to experts, this kind of physical exercise seriously helps in the formation of posture in the younger generation, leading a predominantly sedentary lifestyle. That is why, apparently, children's pop dances have recently become more and more popular. Everyone, regardless of age, is eager and attractive! It is always fashionable, which means it should be in demand.
But what is dance (variety, classical, modern - the look does not really matter now)? Is it possible to give a sufficiently capacious definition?
This is what we will try to discuss in this article.
What is meant by dance?
From the point of view of professionals, a musical and choreographic miniature with a clearly expressed idea of dramatic construction is considered a modern pop dance:
- exposure;
- string;
- denouement or climax;
- final.
Also, the dramatic construction of pop dance means not only its plot, but also expressive dance-game or dance episodes of an artistic number.
In addition, it is necessary to provide an element of surprise in the staging decision or in the nature of the dance performance.
Variety dance. Main characteristics
The main characteristics of pop numbers include easy adaptability to a variety of conditions, concentration of artistic and expressive means and short duration.
Depending on the genre technique used in pop dance, it is classified as everyday, classical, rhythmic (step, tap), plastic and acrobatic.
Variety dance vividly expresses the synthesis of means of choreography, music, vocals, directing, scenography, lighting, costumes, scenery and various technical effects. Thanks to these distinctive characteristics, pop dances created the basis for the emergence of the show - a new direction in the stage.
Varieties of pop dances
There are the following types of pop dances:
- classical pop dance, almost combined with acrobatic virtuosity of supports;
- acrobatic variety dance with defined internal trends of different thematic images: lyrics, heroics, grotesque;
- plot-dance miniature or plot-characteristic variety dance;
- folk pop solo or mass dance;
- military pop solo or mass dance, created by elements of pantomime, combat exercises and folk performed to military and folk music;
- rhythmic pop dance with ballroom, everyday dance, tap and tap dance techniques.
As we can see, modern pop dance includes many components borrowed from other styles and trends.
Why should kids learn to dance?
Children need to dance not only for the obvious joy and pleasure, but also for good physical fitness.
Being engaged in sports and variety dancing, children will be able to learn and study:
- elements of modern dance;
- elements of classical dance;
- details of folk dance;
- exercises with objects (rope, ribbon);
- exercises without objects (jumps, turns, swings, waves, etc.);
- rhythmic movements with music;
- elements of sports and rhythmic gymnastics;
- elements of pantomime;
- exercises from different sports.
A rich variety and affordable exercises effectively affect the body and provide an opportunity to dance for children of different age categories. Modern pediatricians often advise parents to find a suitable pop dance ensemble for children in their own city and to sign up for classes. There will definitely be no harm from such a pastime, but the benefits, as they say, are obvious.
What do you need for dancing
Parents often worry that such a hobby will become very burdensome for the family budget, although in most cases this is nothing more than a delusion.
To start dancing, you just need to have a comfortable sports uniform, dance shoes (Czech shoes, ballet flats or jazz shoes) and a good mood.
All classes (it doesn’t matter which direction you prefer: pop, ballroom or, say, classical dance) are conducted according to the principle from easy to difficult, so the main connections, movements and small performances from various directions are studied first.
