After all, complex tricks need to be studied for years, perfecting each movement, and in order to achieve success, you need to start practicing as early as possible.

History of dance

The dance originated in the United States based on the Lindy Hop dance of black Americans, which originated in New York almost a hundred years ago. Lindy hop, in turn, separated from swing dance; these directions developed along with jazz music. The name Lindy Hop comes from the name of Charles Lindbergh, who first flew across the Atlantic by plane and people, rejoicing at the incident, came up with dance moves associated with jumping and flying over the dance floor. The Lindy Hop is a regular dance performed with improvised elements. Rock and roll, on the other hand, is characterized by strict production, where acrobatics and choreography are strictly regulated; it is a competitive sport where there is no room for mistakes.

The word rock and roll in translation means “swing and spin.” The dance began with the film “School Jungle” (or “Slate Jungle”, as this name is also translated), which was released in 1955, in this work fiery dance accompanied by the song Rock Around the Clock. Following the heroes of the film, the dance began to be danced all over America, but it was still far from sports. A similar dance, boogie-woogie, also developed.

But singer Bill Haley recorded the song itself on April 12, 1954, this day is considered world rock and roll day; in Russia, by the way, it coincides with Cosmonautics Day (Gagarin flew into space). And the name for the style of music was invented even earlier - in the early 50s of the twentieth century, this name was voiced by a disc jockey of one of the US radio stations, Allan Fried.

In the 70s of the 20th century, the Swiss choreographer Rene Sagarra systematized dance movements and combined them with acrobatic ones, so rock and roll appeared with all the sports attributes - rules, juries, sports festivals. The dance migrated from discos to sports dance floors.

In 1974, the European Rock and Roll Association was founded by France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland, soon other countries joined it, and the organization became worldwide, to which the Jazz Dance Federation joined.

History in Russia

The first club for this dance sport opened in Moscow in 1986, the organizer was Alexey Golev, and a year later the first tournament was held.

Today in Russia this sport is developing in almost all regions, but the clubs in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad are considered the leaders. In 2010, the Russians became world champions among adults and juniors.

About ten thousand athletes practice professionally in Russia, and about ten major competitions are held annually. The most titled athletes are multiple world champions Olga Sbitneva and Ivan Yudin.

Characteristic

The dance lasts about one and a half minutes and is performed to specific music with a clear rhythm. The difficulty depends on the age and professional group and is determined by the tricks - the simplest class A has only leg movements and simple elements of semi-acrobatics, more experienced dancers do acrobatic elements, including somersaults. Higher acrobatics may include double pirouettes and triple somersaults. This is the most complex class— M is very entertaining, as it contains a lot of difficult to perform acrobatic elements, the number and types of which are determined by the rules.

The dance is a pair dance, each partner has their own part of the responsibility. Due to the many stunts, injuries often occur - damage to muscles, ligaments, and knee joints. There is group rock and roll (formation), it is performed without pairs or by many pairs. But this direction is not as spectacular and acrobatic as pair dance, and is similar to cheerleading.

Children's sports

Children's rock and roll from a young age includes semi-acrobatics, and then acrobatics, so the warm-up includes the development of the abdominal muscles, back, shoulder girdle, legs, exercises to strengthen and stretch the ligaments. A dancer, in order to perform naturally and emotionally, must develop harmoniously.

The children's training program is long, it does not immediately begin with professional movements and tricks; we can say that the initial training is far from complex dance movements and is accessible to the youngest children, from the age of five.

In the first stage, children are taught simple dance concepts:

• strengthen health, harmoniously develop the body;
• learn to feel different movements with exact parameters;
• form correct posture;
• play various motor games, improvise to music, using basic dance steps with aerobic elements.

At the second stage, children are taught:

• develop dexterity and flexibility through special physical training exercises;
• practice coordination through motor training;
• master different dance styles, connecting elements;
• learn to understand musical expressiveness, move strictly to the music.

At the third stage, children are taught:

• rock and roll steps in different variations;
• semi-acrobatic stunts;
• elements of acrobatics;
• a combination of acrobatic and dance elements.

Among the semi-acrobatic tricks available for children are: sit on the knees, sit at an angle on the hands, jump with legs apart, spinner, sit on the hips, jump over the arm.

Benefits of sports dance

Sports dance classes have advantages over just playing sports or just dancing.

Safety

Dance exercises can be performed directly on the floor. But acrobatics must be learned and perfected on a soft surface. Falls are inevitable, and every time you touch a hard floor, injury can occur. You need the supervision of a trainer during difficult drills to provide additional insurance.

Also, special attention should be given to shoes. They exercise in sneakers - they distinguish between dancing and running. Dance ones are called jazz dances. They are quite suitable for guys who generally don't do acrobatic stunts that involve falling from great heights.

Well, girls need sneakers with thicker, springy soles. After all, constant jumping provokes fractures of the metatarsal bones (small bones of the foot), flat feet and other foot diseases. If you fall on your knees, you should use knee pads, as these joints are quite easily injured. Best choice for girls - American cheerleading sneakers, preferably high ones that protect the ankle.

Rock and roll is a dance with acrobatic elements. The concept of rock and roll in translation means - spin and swing. Since the mid-50s, the dance began to gain popularity. In this variety, the accuracy of performing tricks is very important, which is what the judges monitor at every performance.

Acrobatic rock and roll is an exciting sport that combines energetic dance and mesmerizing acrobatics. It is performed to rhythmic music and consists directly of dance And acrobatics(acrobatic and semi-acrobatic elements). Acrobatic elements are performed in a certain number and according to the rules. Acrobatic rock and roll is performed individually, in pairs and in a group. But it should be noted that this sport is called acrobatic precisely because acrobatics are performed in it, and in single disciplines this is impossible, since the athlete performs alone and can only demonstrate his dancing skills.

There are several types disciplines And categories. The average duration of the program is one and a half minutes, but this also depends on the discipline, category and round of competition. According to the nature of the competition, acrobatic rock and roll is divided into personal And group.

Dance

Separately, a dance consists of the combined movements of a partner and a partner, various dance figures and tracks. The dance is performed on the main course of acrobatic rock and roll with the use of its variations. The dance is assessed according to several parameters:

• Basic move
• Dance figures
• Composition

Let's talk separately about each component.

• Grade " Basic move"includes how the athlete performs the basic move, his foot technique and aesthetics while dancing. The most important role in assigning this assessment is played by the musicality of the execution of the main move and its rhythm. The work of the arms and body during the execution of the main move is also assessed in this component. In addition, special attention is paid to the athlete’s posture, which also affects the assessment of “ Basic move».
• Grade " Dance figures“lies in how the athlete performs the choreography, how correctly the dance movements are performed. This component focuses on criteria such as complexity, variety, quality of execution And originality.
• Grade " Composition"represents the totality of the whole dance program, which the couple demonstrates. This includes the idea of ​​the program, costumes, music, combination of dance and acrobatics, program layout (presence of the necessary groups of dance figures) and dance style.

Acrobatics

It seems to us that many people imagine what acrobatics looks like in separate form, but few have seen the performance of paired acrobatics in rock and roll. She is truly very spectacular and deserves special attention. Acrobatic elements are divided into levels:

• Youth acrobatics
• Junior acrobatics
• Adult acrobatics (performed in such disciplines as B,A,M class-mixed “men and women”)

Semi-acrobatic elements, in turn, are usually performed in the “Mixed class” discipline by juniors and juniors to add energy and entertainment to the program. They are not assessed separately in the program, but in any case they influence the overall assessment.

Acrobatics are assessed according to the following criteria: safety, height and amplitude, rhythm, speed of rotation, acrobatic lines And entry and exit from an element. The evaluation of the Acrobatics component is based on the theoretical cost of the element and how correctly it was performed.

Our team consists of professionals - international-class masters of sports in acrobatic rock and roll, who will teach your child to perform acrobatic and semi-acrobatic elements correctly, and most importantly, safely.

• M class mixed
• A mixed class
• Mixed class
• Formation mixed (4-6 pairs)
• Formation (8-16 people)

It should be noted that quite recently the acrobatic rock and roll program included such a dance direction as Boogie-woogie, which is now a separate discipline.

Among the disciplines, the following age categories of participants are distinguished:

• Boys and girls (A and B mixed class)
• Boys and girls (A and B class mixed, Boogie-woogie)
• Juniors (A and B class mixed, Boogie-woogie)
• Men and women (M, A and B class mixed, Formation mixed, Boogie-woogie)
• Girls (Formation)
• Women (Formation)

Individual competitions

Personal competitions are held among participants in solo disciplines and pairs consisting of a partner and a partner.

For adult categories, there are two types of programs - leg technique and acrobatics. Both programs are evaluated according to three or four criteria, depending on whether the program includes acrobatic elements or not.

Depending on the number of participants, competitions include different quantities tours We will present you the most simple diagram acrobatic rock and roll competitions:

• Qualifying round(unlimited number of participants)
• Tour of Hope(those couples who did not qualify for the next round and who have a chance to show their performance again and compete for further participation)
• Semi-final(12 pairs of participants who qualified from the qualifying round and the hope round)
• Final(6 pairs of participants who qualified from the semi-finals)

Group competitions

Group competitions, in turn, are held among the “Formation” and “Formation-mixed” teams.

Formation

In categories " girls" And " women“only female representatives participate, consisting of 8 to 12 and 8 to 16 people, respectively. The categories differ not only in their quantitative composition and the age of the participants, but also the complexity of performing dance figures.

This discipline is interesting in that the performance takes place to its own pre-prepared soundtrack, which reflects the theme of the program. Also, a special role in assessing this discipline is played by appearance participants, their show costumes and makeup.

Formation mixed

In categories " juniors and juniors" And " men and women“pairs of athletes perform from 4 to 6 pairs. By and large, these two categories differ from each other in that in “ juniors and juniors» couples demonstrate only dancing to the judges. While the category " men and women"involves the performance of both junior acrobatic elements and elements of high complexity (flight acrobatics).

It should be noted that our club has two active teams: “Formation” girls and “Formation-mixed” juniors and juniors, who successfully perform at Moscow and All-Russian competitions. The total collection of these teams includes more than a dozen prizes, 4 of which are gold.
