What is pop dancing for children? What do we know about pop dance? Why kids should take up dancing

Variety dance- this is a direction in choreography that combines various dance styles, ranging from classics to. This direction is becoming more and more popular every year, various pop dance groups, one of the most popular is the “Inspiration” team. This group of dancers includes children and young people aged 4 to 18 years, who, under the guidance of famous dancers, participate in various competitions and festivals.

The first origins of pop dance can be traced back to the last century and include performances by gypsy dancers and folk choirs at village festivals.

Among other dance styles variety dance stands out because the dancer must have not only choreographic abilities and individuality, but also a high level of acting skills. This is due to the fact that such a dance is not just refined movements, but a whole theatrical performance.

Foundation pop dance- this is improvisation. A dancer must reveal his soul to the audience, and memorized movements will not give the desired result and will not penetrate their hearts.

Many performers of this dance claim that it is very similar to club dances. But still there are differences, and the main one is that the club dance dancer does not have the proper individuality and acting skills.

If you send your child to this particular sport, he will definitely develop an ideal sense of rhythm and reveal his individuality. In, where this direction is taught, there are two intertwined areas, acting and the study of movements. It is worth noting that much more attention is paid to the first, until the child reveals himself as an individual, they will not give much results.

There are many pop dance schools where real stars, winners of world tournaments, teach. Naturally, it is not so easy to get into such schools, you will have to shell out a tidy sum of money, but it is worth it. Such teachers will be able to explain to the child that dance is history. And to tell this story you need to put your soul into it.

Course No. 200 can be used throughout two or even three years as an excellent basis for the development of your students. There is a lot of material here that allows the teacher to develop in beginners physical abilities, hearing, sense of rhythm, coordination, emotionality, the ability to navigate well in space, and teach “jazziness.”

All lesson material is logically structured from simple to complex. In the first lesson, the simplest movements are studied - releve, bounce, springboard jumps in parallel positions. Then these things are combined with the work of the hands, head, and point-by-point work is added. And by the end of the course, full-fledged jazz elements are performed: flat backs, hops, slides, chasse, pinch, pas de bourre, pirouettes ) and much more. Each innovation organically “grows” from the material already covered.

During the lesson, funny, cheerful combinations are taught, accompanied by lively music, which not only give the students a good mood, but also cultivate posture, develop attention, range of motion, teach them to work in space, and show the character of the dance. Olga asks teachers to immediately, from the first lesson, teach children that they “ introduced themselves”, were revealed in each combination: “If you take it, do it one hundred percent, and then it will be easier to show character, mood, image in dance.” Olga also constantly, starting from the first lessons, pays attention to the tightness of the feet, knees, posture, and the tightness of the buttocks. A lot of time is devoted to developing coordination and a sense of rhythm in students. The course contains many interesting findings that will help teachers develop in their children these qualities necessary for a dancer.

So unobtrusively, cheerfully, with the selection of material “in ascending order”, wonderful dancers are formed according to Olga Vernigora’s method.

​

Let's take a closer look at what modern pop sports dancing is?

​

They are a combination of modern pop dances with sports elements. Spectacular gymnastic exercises easily coexist with graceful plasticity and grace of dance movements, turning into an amazing, spectacular performance on stage. In its most general form, pop dance is a musical and choreographic number with a well-thought-out idea and a clearly defined structure: it contains an exposition, a plot, a denouement or climax and a finale, and its dramatic structure includes both a plot and dance and game elements.

​

The pop dance studio conducts classes consisting of several stages.

They traditionally begin with a warm-up to warm up and prepare the muscles.

When the muscles are sufficiently warmed up, the main part of the lesson begins, during which dance movements, etudes, ligaments and acrobatic elements are learned and practiced.

At the same time, full-fledged production numbers begin to be prepared, which young dancers will perform at performances. Thus, the lessons follow a general principle - from simple to complex. As you study the basic movements and connections, the numbers become more complex and become more rich and voluminous.

You can practice these sports dances from an early age, receiving enormous benefits for your body. Sports dancing for children is an excellent physical workout, comparable in its intensity and loads that it contains to classes in sports sections. During training, muscles are strengthened, muscle and ligament stretching develops, mobility and elasticity improve. Proper loading of the spine makes it more flexible and also strengthens the muscles that support it. In addition, children's sports dancing develops coordination, teaches them to control their movements, creating excellent posture and a smooth, measured gait. Strong arms and legs, a fit, slender body - this is what a child is guaranteed to get after these lessons. All his irrepressible energy is directed in the right direction and concentrated on creativity, during which he learns to express his emotions with movements and gestures.

​

Children's pop dance also helps develop character. In the process of training, the child learns purposefulness and perseverance, the ability to achieve results, and overcome all obstacles and barriers that hinder the achievement of the goal. Realizing that significant results depend only on his efforts, the child develops self-discipline and responsibility.

​

This direction can also solve a lot of psychological problems. Sports variety dancing is a collective activity in which a child is involved, interacting with other children during the training process. All this helps him get rid of unnecessary timidity, fears and anxieties, nipping in the bud the appearance of complexes and pressures. By constantly practicing spectacular performances, musicality and artistry develop, the child learns to look impressive and dignified in any setting and situation.

​

Pop dance classes on Voikovskaya (Sokol) are held in one of the best dance halls under the guidance of a professional sports choreographer. Recruitment of children into the group "Show ballet "Movement in Joy" is on a competitive basis after the first trial lesson.

The team takes part in various festivals, artistic, sports and pop dance competitions, and aesthetic gymnastics competitions.
