The world of dance is a vibrant and ever-evolving landscape, with new styles constantly emerging to captivate audiences.
One such style that has recently caught the attention of many is a unique form of coordinated dance performed by a group of teenagers.
This dance form is not just about rhythm and movement.
It’s also about strategic placement and synchronization.
The dance routine begins with a series of colored rings strategically arranged on the floor, each row showcasing a different color.
Two lines of dancers, stand ready at the edge of the dance floor.
Each dancer is equipped with two small sticks, adding an extra layer of complexity to the performance.
As the music starts, the dancers connect with the rhythm, using their sticks to beat out the tune.
Their bodies sway and move in response to the music, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
Then, one dancer from each line leaps into the rings, their dance moves mirroring each other, yet each remaining within their own colored circles.
The dance progresses with the first two dancers moving up to the next row of colored rings.
Simultaneously, another dancer from each line joins the dance, stepping into the first row of rings.
This pattern continues, with the initial dancers leaving the dance floor and rejoining the end of their respective lines, while two new dancers join the routine.
The dance steps are not random; each dancer knows exactly what moves to make and when.
This precise coordination prevents any collisions or missteps.
They know when to enter the circles by observing the positions of the other dancers.
The circles, seemingly painted on the floor, remain stationary even when touched.
Another version of this coordination dance involves a teacher leading a group of younger students.
Instead of colored rings, this version uses squares.
The teacher, armed with a musical instrument, leads the dance, with the students following her steps.
Eventually, the teacher exits the squares, and the student behind her takes the lead.
The art of coordination dancing is often introduced at a young age.
For the youngest students, it begins with two simple circles and the classic game of “clap your hands”.
This game, coupled with learning when to jump in and out of the circles, prepares them for the more advanced coordination dancing seen with older students.
Another approach for teaching young students involves getting them used to holding simple items to develop rhythm.
The teacher then introduces them to basic dance moves.
This method helps the students learn to synchronize their hand and foot movements, setting the foundation for more complex coordination dance routines.
This style of dance seems to be prevalent in Spanish schools, but it holds potential for schools everywhere.
It’s an excellent method for developing coordination and rhythm.
They are so fun to watch, see below!
