Is ballet difficult to learn?

Very difficult

First of all, the purpose of your ballet study.

If you want to be a professional ballet dancer, you must learn from a very young age, and you must never grow tall. Princess Diana finally gave up because she was too tall. She needs perseverance and artistic perception, and she works very hard, otherwise it will not be possible. The peak of a ballet dancer is about 30 years old, which is the intersection of artistic perception, technical ability and physical strength. After this time, it went downhill. So choosing ballet is a real cultural journey.

Many people regard ballet as the so-called elegant art and worship it. This can be said as far as modern aesthetics is concerned. But all art starts from the grass roots. Ballet is no different from folk performances such as crosstalk. The dancers on the high platform wore short skirts, but there was no * * * at that time. If tango, it is originally a low-level brothel project in South America.

Third, the best age to learn ballet

There is no special age requirement for learning ballet.

Nowadays, urban women not only pay attention to beauty, but also pay attention to fitness. Ballet has become the new favorite of women in metropolis. The white gauze skirt on the stage, beautiful toes, difficult rotation and elegant curtain call have accumulated into a distant imagination.

I never imagined that I could touch ballet and feel its beauty and elegance. However, many white-collar women in Shenzhen have begun to walk into fitness clubs and experience the enjoyment brought by this elegant art. After aerobics, ballet body training has become popular in cities, which is extremely popular.

(3) Conditions for learning ballet to expand reading:

From the point of view of kinematics, ballet belongs to anaerobic exercise, and its bodybuilding strength is incomparable to that of general fitness exercise. The three elements of ballet, opening, stretching and straightening, have the function of shrinking fibers, making people slimmer after training, effectively consuming excess fat in the combination of static and dynamic exercise, and creating physical beauty, thus attracting many lovers.

Ballet training classes are mostly amateur, with classes at night and weekends. Accompanied by melodious music, students dressed in various training clothes and dancing shoes are doing the basic movements of ballet meticulously, bending over, tiptoeing and kicking, and doing one stroke and one style very seriously.

Leg-lifting and spinning are quite a bit of ballet charm, intoxicated by the elegant artistic atmosphere. After a period of ballet body training, most students are tall and straight, strong and handsome, and their gestures are obviously better than ordinary people.

Is there an age limit for learning ballet?

There is no strict age limit.

There are restrictions only according to your requirements and specific circumstances.

If it's for children, you should practice hard before 1 1 year old.

However, there are many training centers that offer various ballet training courses for people from all walks of life.

In this way, you can participate according to your age, physical condition and needs. It can achieve different purposes such as fitness and temperament cultivation.

Therefore, it can be said that there is no strict age and various restrictions in learning ballet now.

What are the specific requirements for learning ballet?

① Basic figure requirements: the height should not be too high, the hands should be spread horizontally on both sides of the body, the distance between the two fingertips is equal to the body length, the leg length (from the thigh root, not from the waist) is more than 20CM longer than the body, and the neck is long and the head is small, which is referred to as "three long and one small". But this is an ideal state, which most dancers can't reach. Usually, the average figure of a ballet dancer is thinner in waist and arms but thicker in legs. Then measure the body proportion, starting from the third spine behind the neck to the root, and then from the root to the ground. Compared with the two lengths, it is better to have legs above 10. Then open your arms and measure their length, at least about the same as your height.

(2) Learning to dance ballet requires dancers to spread their shoulders, chest, legs, knees and ankles symmetrically regardless of gender, especially their feet spread at 180 degrees, which extends the dancer's body lines to the maximum extent, enlarges the range of dance movements, enhances expressive force, and also enhances the balance ability and flexibility of the body. Jenny Cohen, a famous American dance critic, pointed out that "the classical style of ballet is based on the five postures of the feet." The essence of outward opening of these five postures is that the legs rotate outward at the hip joint. During the performance, show off and publicize aristocratic demeanor in the limited space of the stage. "Aristocracy is not only an important historical embodiment of ballet, but also an important part of aesthetic standards. Through systematic and scientific training, the body can reach the realm that non-professional dancers can't reach, and the body can be idealized and professional.

(3) Learning to dance ballet requires dancers to keep their ankles and instep straight, which is one of the fundamental aesthetic standards of classical ballet. Straightening training is mainly through scrubbing exercises. In the process of various jumps, the lower limbs are tightened, and the heels, soles and toes are pushed into the sky in turn to lengthen the body lines. Ballet is a linear art. Only by stretching each part can the audience have a visual sense of the extension of body lines, and only by stretching can the limbs be slightly radioactive in a limited space and the dance be more stretched. Ballet once pursued a period of "spiritual emptiness". Dancers should have artistic charm to make their dance light and elegant. Only stretching can tighten their muscles and generate upward motivation.

(4) Learning to dance ballet requires that the knees of the dancer's main legs and strength legs are straight and the back is vertical. In other words, dancers should lengthen the muscles of the whole body, so that ballet dance can achieve the perfect visual modeling of stretching and long lines. This is also one of the fundamental aesthetic standards of classical ballet. A body perpendicular to the ground is also necessary for classical ballet techniques, such as rotation techniques. In addition to the whole body taut and shooting at high altitude, it is more important that the neck, back, waist and buttocks are perpendicular to the ground, so that the strength can be concentrated on the center line of the body. Only in this way can rotation move, otherwise all rotation is impossible.

⑤ To learn ballet, dancers are required to stand tall and straight, with their body center of gravity accurately placed on the center of gravity of their legs or one leg. The sense of space occupation is as proud and imposing as that of a classical palace. This is in line with the style of classical ballet originated from the royal court, and its purpose is to show the style of royal aristocrats, rather than the taste of servants and civilians. It is one of the fundamental standards of classical ballet aesthetics to require ballerinas to tuck in their stomachs, hold out their chests, lift their center of gravity and shoot at high altitude, so that all kinds of dance movements and techniques can be completed accurately.

⑥ Learning to dance ballet requires dancers to move lightly and freely. Learning to dance ballet requires dancers to accurately complete the norms and dances of each movement, so that the movement route and position of the movement are accurate.

⑦ Learning ballet requires not only accurate movements of dancers, but also stable and solid movements. For example, in ballet, duets have many lifting skills, which need to be cut silently by actors and actors. Don't let the audience feel that the actress is going to fall, and the movements are staggered, which makes the audience look scared. In this case, we might as well go to see a thrilling acrobatic performance. In addition, when doing the rotation, the actor is required to maintain good stability in the rotation. At the end, the dance should stop at a point accurately and steadily. Coupled with the rendering of music, the artistic expression of the work will make the audience applaud warmly.

Learning to dance ballet requires a dancer to have a sense of beauty in every movement. Because ballet is extremely demanding of beauty. It is usually the audience who imagines and creates the beauty of dance, thus arousing the content of * * * emotionally.

What are the basic conditions and skills for learning ballet? Can I teach myself?

In the eyes of China people, ballet is an exotic product, which sprouted in China in the19th century. In the following decades, due to the constant war, this "thing" has been dormant. It was not until 1950s, with the establishment of New China and the continuous improvement of comprehensive national strength, that ballet officially landed in the field of vision of ordinary people in China and gradually developed.

The author has been engaged in ballet teaching for ten years. During the teaching period, I gained a lot of experience and knowledge through my own study and communication with students, especially the training of students' skills. Ballet techniques are mainly divided into three categories: jumping, turning and controlling. Turn plays a very important role in ballet performance. Here, I want to talk about my understanding of "turn" in ballet teaching.

The first is the practice of basic skills. Basic skills and skills are essential for anyone who learns to dance. However, due to different conditions, different understanding and acceptance abilities, and different people, the learning progress is fast and slow. How can a dancer better train her skills? This requires scientific training methods.

No matter in ballet, classical dance, folk dance, modern dance or modern dance, we can see different spins-two turns, cross-legged, whip-legged, side-legged, flat-lying, leg-sucking, atti-turned and so on. We will all watch him (her) turn around a few times. From a professional point of view, quantity and quality are one of the core criteria for judging a dancer's spinning skills. Needless to say, quantity, so what is quality? That is to say, in the process of rotation, whether the dance posture is standardized, whether the spatial positioning is standard, whether it is stable when it stops, whether it has a fixed posture at the end, and so on. Take the thirty-two "whipping" of the "Black Swan duet" in Goose Lake as an example. If there is no standard dance posture, spatial orientation, stability when stopping, and the number of dances at the end, how can the audience applaud again and again?

In training, we often only pay attention to the number of "circles" and ignore the final fixed dance. If we put this "circle" in the dance work, how can it seamlessly take the next move? Dance pays attention to "beauty" It pays attention to fluency and coherence (according to the traditional dance methods at home and abroad, choreography and audience habits require dancers' movements and stage scheduling lines to be fluent). What is the significance of this "circle" in the whole dance if you can't take the next step better after turning around?

Therefore. If you want to practice "rotation", you need to pay attention to the following aspects:

First of all, the "standing" of half toe is the most important point in rotation. Only when the toes stand to the maximum, the contact surface between the feet and the ground will be reduced. From a physical point of view, the friction of objects with the same mass will decrease only if the contact surface is small. When the friction is small, you can turn faster and turn more "circles" with no effort. Otherwise, it's even more difficult for us to turn "two turns" with our whole feet and turn eight or nine times. From the perspective of dance, a great effort will be shown on the face, and dance pays attention to beauty. Before and during the completion of the action, you should not show any anxiety, but should give people a feeling of relaxation and freedom, as well as a sense of integrity and comfort in one go. Besides, if you put all your efforts into this "circle", how much effort will it take to complete a work? How can we have more energy to express the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the works?

Second, if the knees, waist and back are not straight and the chest is buckled, it will be difficult to get better. For example, in the "two-position turn" and "side-leg turn", if the main leg is not straight and the back and chest are not straight, then the strength will be broken down and it is impossible to get better. If the knees are not stretched straight, especially in ballet, it will destroy the beautiful and vigorous beauty of ballet.

Third, when starting the law, "squatting" is also very important. We often say that "without a good squat, there is no good jump". In fact, we can also say, "Without a good squat, there is no good turn." Only when you squat well can you have a better "standing posture".

Fourth, practice "rotation" skills to solve the problem of "dizziness" in the head. Only by solving the "dizziness" can we grasp the direction in the process of rotation. One of the tricks is "keeping an eye on it", which is very important. The so-called "staring at a point" means that the dancer must keep his eyes on a point in front of him when he rotates quickly with the trunk as the longitudinal axis. Even if the whole body turns first, keep your head, especially your eyes, behind you, so that you can continue to "stare at a little." Until the separation degree of the whole head and body reaches the maximum limit, that is, the moment before the second rotation of the body, we will throw away our head and eyes fiercely, faster than the body. Before catching up with the body, we need to find the "point" just now and keep an eye on it. This is us.

5. "Openness" is also an important factor in "transformation". This is also the most important point required in ballet. When "turning around", ankle, knee and hip joint should be opened from bottom to top, whether starting or rotating. If it is all "off". Even if you can spin, dancing won't look good.

Six, in the "two-position turn", "whip turn" and "side leg turn", special attention should be paid to maintaining the perfection of "empty point turn", that is, the dynamic balance of all parts of the body. No matter which part is out of control and droops, the rotator will run there unconsciously. On the contrary, if any part is too nervous, the rotator will run to the opposite side. Therefore, every part of the body should be coordinated, so that the toes can be fixed at a point to complete several or even dozens of laps. This requires the stability of the main leg. The ideal standard for completing this action is that the main leg should be fixed like a nail, except that the knees and instep should be stretched straight.

Seven, the arm can play a role in maintaining body balance and acceleration when rotating. When rotating, the arm sometimes changes, but the position change of the hand only moves with the rotation potential of the whole body. Talent is to beautify the rotation itself without losing balance [A, after every action is completed, there must be an end, and "rotation" is no exception. After the rotation, we must be able to stop smoothly. The body must not relax and the dance must not be deformed, which is often overlooked in our training. This requires us to form good habits and complete every movement and skill in both training and performance.

In short, the practice of skills should be persistent. In the process of practice, if you find that one turn is not enough, you should pick it out and practice alone. Solve one problem before finding another, so that your past skills will be greatly improved.

What kind of figure is suitable for learning ballet?

Fat or thin, anyone who likes ballet can dance. Remember, it has nothing to do with your appearance or body shape.

At what age is it appropriate to start ballet?

Nine entry requirements for ballet academy,

If you take the technical secondary school, you don't need culture classes, such as Liaoba High School and Beiwu High School. If the age is 9 to 13, it is almost the same. Physical conditions should be three long and one small, with long arms, long legs, long neck and small head. This is a congenital disease. The softness of the back of the waist, legs and feet is very important, but this can be pressed out.

If it is a university, the scores of cultural courses should reach the lowest scores in the province and the lowest scores of colleges and universities you apply for. Beiwu was 220 last year.
