Contraindications

Latin American dances (salsa, bachata, cha-cha-cha, mamba, rumba)

Latin American dances are known for being energetic, impulsive and positive. The lessons consist of three parts:

• Warm-up - semi-circular rotation of the head, hips, circular movements of the shoulders and the like.
• The main part is learning movements and their repeated repetition.
• Cooldown - usually static stretching exercises and dance moves at a slow pace.

Who suits

This type of training is ideal for energetic and emotional people. It embodies the incendiary rhythm and clarity of movement. Latin American dances are also a great way to warm up relationships in a couple or make new acquaintances.

Peculiarities

• The main feature of such dances is the constant work of the hip muscles with a fixed position of the back and a springy step. Therefore, the main load falls on the muscles of the shoulders, lower back and legs. Also, this type of dance helps to improve the heart rate.
• One of the important features is that you will not even notice the load on the body as a whole. The maximum that you will feel is a slight pleasant fatigue. This is due to the proportionality of the load on the whole body.
• Actively engaged in Latin American dances, you can not only lose weight, but also pump your hips, if you have a tendency to do so.

Contraindications

In the presence of cardiovascular diseases and problems with the musculoskeletal system, such dances are contraindicated.

One of the most popular workouts for weight loss. It has been distributed in over 180 countries. This fitness program combines elements of hip hop, salsa, samba, merengue, mambo, flamenco and belly dance. Its goal is to work out the maximum number of muscles, while not exhausting you with repeated repetitions of trivial exercises.

The direction was invented by the Colombian Alberto Perez (Alberto Perez) in the late 90s. He was a professional choreographer and devoted his entire life to teaching others Latin dances. Later, zumba became the basis for the training of many stars (Shakira, Beyoncé, Britney Spears).

Who suits

Zumba does not tolerate restrictions, it can be practiced by people of any age, men and women with any abilities and skills. All choreographic movements are simple and clear.

Peculiarities

• Training is like a party where everyone is dancing using simple combinations of movements.
• You don’t need any special physical training to start exercising, so Zumba is great for beginners.
• The dance program is very diverse, which means that it will not be boring.
• The emphasis in training is on the lower body, which allows you to tighten your muscles well and get rid of cellulite.

Contraindications

Categorical contraindications are hernia of the lumbar spine, displacement of the vertebrae, diseases of the bones, ligaments, joints, thrombosis, problems with the heart muscle, high blood pressure, post-traumatic period, pregnancy at any time.

Contempo is a combination of dance techniques from Western (classical dance, modern jazz) and Eastern (qigong, taijiquan, yoga) arts of movement.

The main exercises are built by analogy with classical and modern ones: from simple to more complex. The lesson includes exercises in the stalls (work on the floor), relaxation techniques, as well as stretching.

Who suits

Amateur and professional dancers. Height, weight, complexion of a person are not important here. Contempo is suitable for you if you want to not only keep a good shape, move beautifully, but also know yourself.

Peculiarities

• Globally, contempo differs from other dance styles by its inward orientation, interest in the quality of a moving body, its relationship with space, time, and a partner. The dancer accumulates energy, thoughts, emotions inside himself, and then gives them to the viewer.
• The peculiarity of the dance also lies in the alternation of muscle tension and relaxation, falling and lifting, sudden stops (often on straight legs), and balancing.
• Breathing during the contempo should be measured, as if it continues to move. Martial arts brought this requirement to the dance.
• Contempo gravitates more to the floor, while the lightness and expressiveness of movements are emphasized. Usually danced barefoot.

Contraindications

Standard restrictions for physical activities. Moreover, this type of dance is quite difficult, exhausting, and you need to be in excellent psychological shape for training. Long stretches, practicing jumps can exhaust a person with a fine mental organization and bring him into a state.

This is a rather complex set of movements, during which you need to keep the whole body in tension. Training is often exhausting, with a fairly large load. Before starting, a 15-minute warm-up is necessary to warm up the main muscle groups, after which the basic elements of the dance begin to be worked out. For the performance of this style, not only the movements of the dancer are important, but also their appearance, especially shoes. The most famous type of Celtic dance that everyone knows about is the step.

Who suits

Patient people who are attracted to the theme of social dancing. Complex combinations are inherent in this style, the elements of which will have to be learned not only in the classroom, but also at home (perhaps even mentally).

Peculiarities

• You have to get used to a rather unusual pose. The dance is performed on half-toes (the dancer raises his heels and stands on his toes), the upper body is motionless, the arms are always lowered. The basic rule is fast footwork.
• This is a group dance, therefore, on the one hand, you will have to give up all liberties, on the other hand, you will have to develop a sense of partnership when you feel yourself one with other people. Psychologists say that such training is especially useful for those who have difficulty joining the team or are afraid of communication.
• Music has a clear rhythm and requires the same precise steps. It is important to hit both the note and the foot.
• Another curious feature is that it is better not to practice any other dances before starting training. Classical choreographic training often gets in the way. For example, in ballet, the feet and hips are strongly turned to the sides. Here, on the contrary, the legs are always crossed. And forget about the hands.
• The system of Celtic dances is extremely interesting in that it heals the spine without missing a single section, no worse than a real doctor. The habit of keeping your back straight will form after a few weeks of regular practice.
• Constant training will form the ideal calf muscles. Although any kind of dance has a positive effect on the muscles of the legs, the Celtic ones receive a well-deserved gold medal.
• This type of activity does not give any load on the hands, so if necessary (or if desired), you need to work out this zone separately.

Contraindications

Large shock loads (jumps) do not allow those who have problems with the heart, blood vessels, and spine to engage in Celtic dances. Progressive varicose veins are also a contraindication.

We have looked at several basic dance styles from which you can start your acquaintance with the world of dance. Take a few classes and you'll see what's right for you. When choosing, consider your age, the complexity of training, your physical condition and goals.

So you decided to take up dancing, but don't know which style to choose? You came to the studio, saw a list of unfamiliar names like Go-Go, Stretching, Waaking and the like, offered to you by the administrator, and were horrified? Do not be afraid! This list represents different types of dances, and to understand what is right for you, we suggest reading this article.

To begin with, let's define What made you think about dancing? Have you fallen in love with a guy at a disco who moves great and you are embarrassed to approach him? Or decided to surprise her boyfriend with her new abilities, left alone with him? Or, once again looking in the mirror, you suddenly decided that you had extra fat on your hips? Or maybe you just want to unwind after work and diversify your day? All this determines the purpose for which you come to the dance studio. And don't be afraid to look clumsy - you go to class to learn!

The most popular among girls today is the direction called Go-Go. This is a dance that girls dance on the stage of the club, coming out to help tired visitors. Surprisingly, Go-go has been around for 50 years. He came to us from California as an alternative to striptease. This dance is aimed at emancipation and development of self-confidence. It’s hard to say that this is some kind of independent style, rather a combination of modern trends (strip, jazz, latin, erotic dance, etc.) Go-Go will teach you to easily improvise to any club music, move clearly and beautifully, combine combinations of movements and connect them correctly. Such training in a dance studio will give you confidence in your movements, a suitable emotional mood and a lot of inner positive. In the club, you can immediately stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of even the most indifferent guy.

Lady-Mix or Lady-style are suitable for those who want to learn several styles of dance at the same time, but do not have the opportunity to attend them all. Of course, here it is impossible, as they say, to “in-depth” know each style separately, but in general terms you will master the elements of Erotic Dance, Jazz, Reggaeton, House, Salsa and even R’n’B. You will learn a variety of movements, and no matter where and in what clothes you find yourself (be it a secular corporate party, a prom or a “rapper party”), you will be able to surprise others.

Erotic dance. Literally from the first lesson you will understand that you did not even suspect about your abilities! It turns out that you know how to move so erotically. And now it doesn't look as vulgar as before. You can come to Erotic dance classes in heels without fear of breaking your leg. Here you will learn to move plastically, flexibly, gracefully, feminine and at the same time confidently and freely. Heels will help you develop coordination in movements. Men will not be able to leave you without attention. Most importantly, don't get too carried away!

There are also several varieties of Erotic Dance: Strip Dance - aimed at developing plasticity, flexibility and the ability to show the attractiveness of the female body. Strip dance will reveal the secrets of a beautiful striptease. Another sub-style - Lap-dance - dance on a chair (literally "on your knees") is performed for one spectator. It can be just a sensual dance with maximum contact with the viewer, or it can be performed very spectacularly with sharp swings of the legs or overturning of the chair (of course, in the absence of the viewer). Poledance, or the more familiar name for pole dance, is also born from the Erotic Dance style. Having seen at least once a professionally performed Poledance, few people remain indifferent. A lot of girls want to "be able to do the same." But in fact, “pole dancing” is difficult to attribute to dancing at all. It is rather rhythmic gymnastics performed to exciting music. Real Poledance is a lot of work with sports (one might say, strength) training and acrobatic stretching. It's good if you have choreographic training. Poledance is for those who are bored with the machines in the gym, and simple fitness seems to be not effective enough. You can be sure: ALL muscle groups swing on the pole.

And if you still prefer something in between fitness and dancing, come to Stretching. In this direction, stretching itself takes up most of the time - independent standing, sitting, lying and in pairs. Stretching will help bring muscles into a healthy tone - relieve tension and pain, correct posture, increase physical endurance, learn how to properly regulate breathing and lose some weight. The choice of a teacher is important here - he must be sufficiently professionally prepared. Health jokes are bad. And most importantly, stretching classes increase the level of dance training, after which any elements of different dances will be given to you with ease.

Modern or, more correctly, modern dance is a truly modern dance that has a centuries-old history and is undeservedly forgotten. This dance is completely different from the others. One has only to come to a couple of classes, and he will absorb you from head to toe. What matters here is the purpose for which you go to the dance. If you are a busy girl and are constantly in mental and emotional stress, modern will help you relieve stress and turn off thoughts. The dance will allow you to forget about the bustle of the world around you, to understand your body and the feeling of gravity, to completely relax to pleasant music. Modern involves the absence of shoes and the most free clothing. At the first lesson, you may not even have to dance - you will just begin to immerse yourself in the world of modernity and try to understand the mechanisms of driving forces in nature and the human body. Modern movements based on inertia may seem strange and absurd at first, but gradually you will no longer be afraid to reproduce them, you will feel inner freedom, lightness, expand the boundaries of your own Self, which also interfere in everyday life. In Modern dance you relax not only externally, but also internally. Modern in a sense combines dance and meditation. Technique in Modern plays an important role, however, as in other dances. Here it helps to express emotions that just beg to be poured into a dance composition in the Art Nouveau style. You will feel that you simply do not have enough elements of dance to fly in space, and you will ask the teacher to reveal the secrets of modernity more and more.

Solo Latina. Few people can stand still, hearing the incendiary rhythms of Latin American dances, whether it be samba, rumba, salsa, mamba, cha-cha-cha, bachata or jive. At least a smile on the face and positive thoughts unite all the "listeners". On a sad autumn evening, when you want to sleep, your head hurts and cats scratch in your soul, try to force yourself to go to at least one Latina class and you will not notice how even the deepest depression will disappear. You will not only get a lot of positive, but also master a special body language, feel the freedom of an incendiary rhythm, grace, femininity and energy. You can come to class in a flirty skirt and low heels.

Belly dance is perhaps one of those dances that have existed since ancient times. To date, he has managed to mix the styles of dances from different countries of the East. Fans of club dances, perhaps, at first may find the movements characteristic of belly dancing unusual. In particular, in order to hold hands, monitor posture, be able to combine the movements of the shoulders and hips, and, of course, shake the stomach (actually, there are about ten types of shaking) requires some physical and mental effort. But belly dance was invented for a reason, because it has a beneficial effect on the health of the female body. It models the ideal figure (truly female), trains breathing and the vestibular apparatus, pumps up the abdominal muscles, develops the diaphragm, forms beautiful hips, and does not burden the joints. You can become a real woman and reveal yourself in Belly Dance classes. If your chosen one is worthy of you, and you want to inflame sexual desire in him to the maximum - dance Belly Dance to him!
