Why do many dancers appear to have movement but lack expression and spirit? One important reason is the absence of body rhythm training. “Body Rhythm” (Shenyun) refers to the combination of movement technique and rhythmic expression. Its training is rich and refined, drawing movement elements from Chinese opera, Tai Chi, martial arts, and ballet. It is considered the essence of Chinese classical dance.
Through professional training in movement technique and rhythm, dancers develop movements that are more expressive, graceful, and artistically beautiful. This course is especially suitable for women who are interested in traditional Chinese dance.
Course Outline:
I. Warm-Up Exercises: A short stretching warm-up will be conducted to relax all parts of the body, helping to facilitate smooth movements and preventing joint and muscle injuries.
II. Chinese Classical Dance Body Rhythm Training: Using breath control and upper body rhythm to guide the movement of the head, neck, arms, legs, and feet through rhythmic motion training.
Teaching Content: Element combination exercises. Body rhythm dance posture combination exercises. Comprehensive body rhythm training
III. Chinese Ethnic & Folk Dance:
Including: Tibetan Dance. Mongolian Dance. Dai Dance. Xinjiang Dance. Korean Ethnic Dance. Yangko Dance.
According to students’ progress and abilities, the instructor will select different dance styles and choreography segments for teaching, allowing students to experience and learn the unique styles and movement characteristics of various Chinese ethnic dances.
Different dances will be taught in different classes each term according to students’ learning progress.
