Class Description:

成人舞蹈班

由于成人（包括一些上年纪的舞蹈爱好者）的身体条件，类似腰腿的柔韧性，体力等客观上的限制，以至于在舞蹈动作的训练和表演上不能过多的强调舒展外开，和一些跳跃，旋转。但是她们有良好的心理素质，丰富的人生经历，深知舞蹈这一形体语言的特质与内涵，从真正意义上理解和做到从里到外，由心而发。所以在教学的内容和形式上会有别于一般的专业演员的训练。因此不会过多的强调基本功的训练，诸如韧带，腰，腿的外开和肌肉的力量等等。但会依据个人的不同情况有区别的对待，毕竟好的身体条件有助于大家能更完美的展现舞蹈艺术.

中国舞身韵身法练习：（60 分钟）

掌握身体韵律和节奏感（比较复杂的节奏变化），它体现在身体运动过程中每个动作本身的特有的节奏，配合呼吸，由心而发，所以不同的心里感觉会有不同的表现形式，是舞蹈表演中较高层次的要求。

1．基本手位

静止状态：兰花指，掌，剑指，按掌，托掌，山膀，提襟（分单双），顺风旗（分左右）

运动状态：（刺，冲，穿，切，翻，分）掌，晃手，云手，盘手（腕），

2．中国古典舞身韵元素的练习：

提，沉，冲，靠，含，腆，移，旁提，横拧。

3．中国古典舞身韵的运动规则训练：

          身韵遵循的“欲左先右”，“欲上先下”，“欲开先合”，等“从反面做起”的运动规则，与“平圆，立圆，八字圆”的“三圆”路线规则。通过由浅入深的组合训练，让学员逐步了解和掌握这些规律，动作不分简与繁，每一个动作都或多或少包含着这些运动规律，这就是中国舞身韵的独到之处。

训练组合：手眼训练，小五花，运肩转腰，穿胸刺肋。

4．圆场训练:

圆场是中国古典舞中运用的最濒繁的, 是演员在舞台上进行位子调度和动作连接,大多由慢到快, 圆场行进路线可分直线、横线、半弧圆、斜线、圆圈、s字形，横∞字形等几种。

单一手位切换组合：提襟，山膀，按掌，顺风旗等。

复合手位变化组合：冲掌，晃手，翻掌，摊掌等。

综合圆场组合：云手，盘手等。

5. 成品舞蹈排练: 待定
