Tap dance is an ancient dance form, which originated from the folk. It rose in the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and became more popular in the Tang Dynasty. The motif of the so-called "everyone is happy in a good year, walking on the dragon" is the folk consciousness of "reaching happiness" Although the classical dance "Zou Ge" accurately inherits the folk customs, it is still "classical". How can such a group of women who "talk about cherries and talk about jade" get on the dragon? The purpose of "Ta Ge" is to outline the scene of an ancient couple's spring outing and sympathize with the troubled modern existence with a long-lost beautiful image.
You are like a cloud in the sky.
Nong is like a bird in the cloud.
be mutually dependent
Reflect sunlight and wind
Junruohu reclaimed water
Dense silk Shui Xin flower
Love each other
The shadow of the moon
Why do people get together?
What are the joys and sorrows in the world?
I want to be with you.
Don't be a flash in the pan
Tapping songs, from folk to court, from court to folk, has always been a dance form of stepping on the ground for the festival, singing and dancing, which is also a main feature of self-entertainment dance. The dance "Tap Song" not only takes various dance steps as the mainstream, but also develops some highly mobile dance steps. In the overall "pause", there are moments of "flow", and through the contrast between flow and pause, a visual contrast is formed. For example, there is a set of complex action segments that appear in the rhythm after the second singing and in the rhythm after the fourth singing. The dancer twisted her waist to the left, throwing her sleeves all over her feet, and the straight sleeve front showed the trend of "arrow leaving the string". Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned to the right, his sleeve fell to the right through the upper arc, his body suddenly turned to the left, and his sleeve was pulled horizontally to the left. In this way, back and forth from left to right, like flowing clouds, all the movements are in one go in the lyrics of "I hope to be with your husband", so that the audience can taste a little gentleness and elegance in the freshness and beauty under their feet, just like "I" is the sleeve that you are willing to follow.
The basic posture required in "Ta Ge" is to close the shoulders, including chin, arm cover, back swing, knee loosening, waist twisting and hip-lifting. In the flowing movement, the dancer forms a two-dimensional or three-dimensional "three-way bending" posture by swinging left and right, twisting the waist and loosening the hips, showing the graceful girl. The posture of loosening knees and tilting hips will inevitably lower the center of gravity, and the specific steps of walking forward will make the whole trunk show a "pro-ground" posture. This is the conclusion after analysis, but the dance "Step Song" has never seen the slightest sense of "falling" visually, and the reason for this situation is that the sleeves are not too long or too short, just right. The sleeves in "Ta Ge" play a connecting role in the whole movement, and the choreographer combines the "upturned sleeves" in the Han Dynasty, the "swinging sleeves" in the Tang Dynasty, the "beating sleeves" in the Song Dynasty and the "taking sleeves" in the Qing Dynasty. This eclectic and selfish creative idea has undoubtedly made the classical dance "Ta Ge" Gu Zhuo and.
The aesthetic concept of the trinity of poetry, music and dance is everywhere in the works. The rich style of Han and Wei dynasties shows a poetic side from the stage composition. For example, the scene of 12 women holding sleeves and shoulders obliquely is exactly "singing and dancing tactfully, just like a beautiful warbler". What is more poetic is the feeling of infiltration and spread everywhere in the works. The word says: "If you are a cloud in the sky, if you are a bird in the cloud, you will depend on each other and reflect the wind of the sun bath. If you are in the water in the lake, you are like a flower in your heart, and you are in love with me. Why do people get together and leave? How can there be joys and sorrows in the world? I hope to be with you, not a flash in the pan "(Tago). In this soft language of Wu Nong, isn't it the most beautiful scenery? Love is closely related; Poetry is catchy.
The historical value and aesthetic value presented to us by Ta Ge far exceed the artistic achievements of the work itself. It will occupy an important position in the field of classical dance in China, and it may herald the birth of another school of classical dance.
