Difference 1: Birth.
Jazz dance appeared in the mid-1950s and evolved from black ballroom dancing with jazz music. It absorbs the elements and skills of ballet, modern dance, street dance and Latin dance, and wants to express fiery amorous feelings. However, Hip-hop originated in the Bronx (community name), a lower-class black community in new york, USA in the 1970s. It is a "street culture" deduced from an African-American movement to vent their emotions. In the daily training of professional cheerleaders, this kind of street dance is often used to train athletes' comprehensive qualities such as coordination and expressiveness, and sometimes it is also used for performance. Some people call it? Is it the only sport that makes people smile and train? .
Difference 2: Classification
The classification of jazz dance includes Latin jazz, modern jazz, dramatic jazz, classical jazz and ballet jazz. Hip-hop includes several categories: at present, there are mainly poppin, Hip-hop, locking, breaking, house, newstyle, kurmp, regge and so on. Now the two dances absorb each other, and hip-hop absorbs the style of jazz dance, forming the hip-pop jazz. Jazz dance created today's jazz dance. It is very popular on Broadway. Now, look at Branny Beyonce's concerts. Most of the dances in the songs performed by artists such as jazz, rain and VanNess Wu belong to hiphop.
Difference 3: Technical characteristics
Jazz and hip-hop have the same characteristics, which require strong explosive force, good coordination of limbs and very high requirements for difficult dance skills. They have a great training effect on the head, shoulders, buttocks and other parts, and they are all exercises for training small muscle groups. However, primitive jazz is characterized by stage art that expresses emotions and entertains others. Jazz dance has a sense of lines, stretching movements and an upward center of gravity. However, the early street dance was simply to vent the dancers' emotions, and it was an art that existed in life to entertain itself. Hip-hop is a dynamic rhythm, with twisted movements and a downward body center of gravity. When these two kinds of dances are dancing, the body movements are more exaggerated than other dances, and the attraction is that they both bring warm feelings with full body vitality.
Attachment: Characteristics of Jazz Dance Teaching
1, using technical terms (foreign languages) for teaching. Any dance has its own culture, which is reflected in the name, characteristics, style and music of dance movements. Jazz dance comes from the United States, and most of the movements are named in English and French (ballet terminology). Teaching with technical terms (foreign languages) can make students feel their culture from the perspective of language and help them understand the connotation of jazz dance more deeply. After a long time, all kinds of influences and actions will taste purer.
2. The basic training of jazz is dancing. Thirty minutes before jazz class, we all have basic skills training. Basic training is usually boring. In order to improve students' interest and enrich their expressive force, I use complete and diverse music for more performing training.
3. Emphasize style training. Variety of styles is a major feature of jazz dance. During these two years' training, we have learned Disco (disco), Funk (funk), latino (Latin style), modern (ballet style), etc., so that students can fully understand and master jazz dance and improve their expressive force.
4. Emphasize the rhythm. Jazz dance especially emphasizes the change of rhythm, especially the movements of those small joints. The change of rhythm is a clever mutation. In order to improve the quality of rhythm training, I have used tap dancing training and listening training. In addition, listening training is sometimes used to rest and restore physical strength.
5. A relaxed classroom atmosphere. Jazz has a slogan just for fun. Because of the slave trade that lasted for about 300 years, African blacks were fired in the United States and around the world and lived a miserable life. In the new environment and life, they have not forgotten their music and dance, nor have they lost their optimistic attitude towards life. ? Fun. ? It can also be said to be a major feature of jazz dance, and we also realized its entertainment in the relaxed and interesting learning process.
6. Heuristic education. I don't advocate that children always learn simply by imitation. Although children's imitation ability is far better than that of adults, they should also be trained in their thinking ability and inspired to think consciously. Every child is smart, and they have the ability to dance better through their own understanding. The specific method will be discussed next time.
