What are the warm-up exercises for jazz dance?

Many people like dancing as a sport, because dancing can show the beauty of body shape and movement, and can increase the body's flexibility and achieve the effect of strengthening the body. Among them, jazz dance is a very dynamic dance. Its exercise intensity is very high. If you have just started jazz dance, your body will definitely not be able to bear it. So before jazz dance, you can add some warm-up exercises to mobilize the potential of your body. So what are the warm-up exercises for jazz dance?

1. Cardiopulmonary endurance: Generally, a jazz dance movement combination does not last very long, but the rest time between combinations is often very short. Therefore, if the learner has good cardiopulmonary endurance, he or she can generally maintain good dance skills after repeating the movement combination many times and will not get tired prematurely.

2. Muscle strength and endurance: Jazz dance involves many fast movements that require instantaneous force, so basic muscle strength is necessary. In addition, since learning dance often requires practicing the same movements repeatedly, the requirements for muscle endurance are relatively high. In particular, the endurance of the lower limb muscles must be well trained, otherwise it is easy to cause injuries to the knee, ankle and hip joints and nearby muscles. Jazz dancers also enhance muscle endurance through other auxiliary training methods (such as water fitness, yoga training, etc.).

3. Flexibility: No matter what kind of dance you do, if you want to dance beautifully, your body must be flexible, otherwise you will not be able to display the beauty of lines. Jazz dance is no exception. When doing warm-up stretching exercises, you must be careful that you are not suitable to stretch using elasticity before your body muscles are fully warmed up. Otherwise, it may backfire and cause muscle strain. Static stretching is safer, but also requires more patience. The amplitude of flexibility exercises should not reach the point of pain. The muscles just need to feel stretched. The movement (angle) can be maintained for from more than 10 seconds to 30-40 seconds. The longer the time, the greater the load on the muscles and connecting tissues near the joints.

After reading my introduction to jazz dance warm-up exercises, everyone must be eager to try. In fact, all the body's abilities need to be stimulated, or guided. If the body is not stretched and you force yourself to do some exercises, the body may not be able to bear it. Jazz dance warm-up exercises can not only resolve these but also enhance the body's abilities in this regard.
