| Question: Do mats effect my windmills when breakdancing? Posted: 04 Apr 2015 11:49 AM PDT I cant get back into the crab freeze to save my life. I know i have the strength to do it so I cant pinpoint why i cant get into the second windmill. Is the mat causing this problem? I noticed that trying to kick back up is way harder on the mat then it is on the floor so maybe the elevation from the mat has something to do with my inability to kick back into crab freeze? |
| Question: Dance skills needed for Competition team? Posted: 04 Apr 2015 08:53 AM PDT From your Q&A you are 15 and for ballet, depending on their birthday I would expect a 15 year old to be able to know all the vocabulary and do all the steps that are in the RAD Advanced 1 or Advanced 2 syllabus if they were planning to become a professional dancer. It is true that just doing RAD alone it is not likely that one would achieve a career in ballet but some vocational schools offer RAD Saturday classes though these are of course taken in conjunction with plenty of non-syllabus classes, and here I am merely using RAD as a guide to what level you would need to be. However, it doesn't seem as if you want to become a professional dancer as you are asking about a competition team (and students your age aspiring to become professional dancers would take many, many more classes/hours of dance than you do). Still, ballet is important as it is the foundation of all dance and without the basics, you would not be able to become a good dancer. How well can you do a plié, a tendu, a glissé, a piqué, a ronde de jambe a terre and a ronde de jambe en l'air, a fondu, a petit battement, a frappé, a developpé, a grande battement? Yes, it sounds very basic, but it takes a skilled dancer to be able to do these things well. A student who has had as many years training as you had, provided the training was of quality, should be able to do things of a more advanced level as well. Whatever type of dance a person is focused on, ballet should still be taken seriously. Look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIfm6X7UM8E If you are trained properly, you should be able to spot flaws in their technique. You could see that it is in large part due to poor ballet training. If you could spot the flaws in this video, you should be able to tell whether the competition team you want to try out for relies more on proper dance technique or more on tricks. If it relies on proper technique then perhaps it would not be a bad idea to audition, but if it relies on tricks then avoid at all costs. Not only do the tricks only perhaps occasionally work in the short term (or not at all), they do not work in the long term and it will affect your form in regular dance classes. Also, due to the way you asked the question (asking what tricks you need to do) it may be wise to ensure that the studio you are at now are actually teaching dance properly. Also check the flooring as there should be a sprung or floating floor. Also... with the exception of international competitions all dance competitions are recreational. |
| Question: Is it necessary for a group of dancers to get along with each other? Posted: 04 Apr 2015 08:48 AM PDT It is not NECESSARY, but it is highly desirable. This is all about TEAMWORK, and ANYONE can work in ANY team, if they ALL want it to work for the good of the performance. But when someone is disruptive or not liked by the rest of the team,. there WILL be problems |
| Question: I want to be a dancer but? Posted: 03 Apr 2015 11:00 PM PDT Ballet has very little "tricks". It's very difficult, and you would have to learn pointe and pas de deux when you are ready. Pas de deux has a few "tricks", but unless it's contemporary/ modern ballet, I really can't imagine there ever being flips or aerials. Classical ballet is just what it sounds like. Another style to consider is contemporary. There is more than one type of contemporary. There's the one you see on Dance Moms, and Alvin Ailey Horton/ Graham modern style. I believe (I'm not positive) AA style contemporary has less flips etc. Jazz dance seems to be less involved with tricks, and I'm pretty sure tap dancing is the same. I'm kind of like you. I really prefer not to be expected to turn cartwheels, or do aerials. It's great that some people can, but it's not for me. |
