I think the sway used here is mainly for balance too, and by stretching the side on the new standing leg to make a slight sway to L for man and to R for lady, the couple will gain a better balance.

Yes, what you said about the sway above is right. As I said in my previous post of The Technical Details of 1-3 of Natural Turn in Waltz: "The sway makes the body shape very beautiful, but its original purpose is not for the beauty of the body shape, and it is purely for maintaining a good body...

That is the essence of the upper body leading. Use as much as energy REQUIRED from the upper body, and never try to reduce any amount of energy from the upper body through any help of pushing of leg, even it is very little!

The speed and distance of movement is always determined by how much energy to use from the upper body. Why? For example, when you are taking the first three steps of Natural Turn, you only need to use about 20 percent of energy of the upper body while you are using about 80 percent of energy of...

The upper body leading is a principle, not a style. My point is that dancers have to use as much as energy required from the upper body in order to dance perfectly. That does not mean that your leg, feet etc. do not need to be very strong. In fact, in most cases, dancers use his energy more...

No, I did not say that a competition isn't entertaining. I only said that social dance is only for entertainment (which is not a sport, so social dancers are not sport dancers.)

No. Social dance is not competitive dancing and it is only for entertainment, not falling into the category of sports.

Sport dancers are those who do dancesport, that is, Ballroom, Latin, Smooth, Rhythm etc.

To explain what the poor Modern Dance is, what the good Modern Dance is and what the super Modern Dance is, the following roughly lists some of the characteristics of the three states of the Modern Dance. 1. The Lowest State (with one or more of the following characteristics, the former is the...

I always had a question before: why do sport dancers normally have exact same manner in appearance as ordinary people in their daily life? Actors, whether they are movie actors or stage actors, are easily recognized as actors among other people and they are also full of actor temperament under...

As mentioned previously, the Modern Dance is the art of movement. The running race is also a kind of movement, but the movement of the running race is simply for speed, so the movement of the running race is purely technical. The movement of the Modern Dance has multiple elements such as...

In many cases, especially for sport movement, one has to be off balance for a split of a second, but that only shows the importance of keeping one's center of gravity over one's base of the support before and after the time of off balance, otherwise he/she will not do a good job while he/she is...

"the center of gravity should be on a vertical line that falls between your 'base of support'"——This is a very precise and perfect interpretation! This is what I mean in my post and I just did not know how to interpret properly what I intend to mean.

2. The Line The line outlines the overall appearance of a dancer, just like a two-dimensional picture presented in front of the viewer. A couple can form a picture every moment no matter which direction they are facing and which action they are doing while dancing. The perfect body line is...

Many thanks for your clarification! Maybe I should have used the term of "line of gravity". Should I use the term "poise"? But I just found from the web page the sentence of "Balance is the ability to maintain a stable and controlled body position while we move over our base of support. "

The beauty of the Modern Dance is not only reflected in the energetic and dynamic movement discussed above, but also reflected in her beautiful pictorial images mainly composed of posture, line and shape. The picture is static, but the pictorial images of the Modern Dance are composed of...

Driving a car depends on the following three elements: engine, the car body and wheels, among which the engine is like the upper body, from which the power is generated, the car body is like the muscle tone, and wheels is like legs and feet. Maybe this example will well tell the relationship...

The muscle tone of the whole body is also very important for running, but the power to intend to move forward should be only from the upper body, so it cannot be said that the power to move forward is from the muscle tone of the whole body too. Anyway, the power from the upper body is critical...

Yes, you are right. I did write down like this, that is, strong lowering action can be converted to horizontal momentum, but I changed this view of mine when I posted my post, in order to emphasize the muscle tone releasing and the muscle tone regaining (the initial power producing). I only...

3. The Technical Details on 3 If you have done the first and second steps very successfully, you must also be able to do the third step very well. The third step is very simple and it has only one action, that is, the right foot closes to the left foot. Although it is a relatively much easier...
