Tverk is a sexually provocative dance

Fashionable dances replace each other, and the further, the more rapidly. Every time there is a grumpy grumbling of admirers of the previous dominant trend, who invariably insist that "they have not seen such disgrace", and "in their years everything was different."

From Tango to Tver

Suffice it to recall that tango during its entry into the dance culture was considered something obscene and unacceptable for a decent young lady. There was a lot of controversy surrounding jazz, too, but they died down after the appearance of rock'n'roll, twist and neck. About dance in the style of disco, there is really nothing to say: the elderly people sighed happily, seeing such calm in the ranks of youth, but in the mid-eighties there was a break-dance, which was another challenge to conservatism and a huge help for the cleaners of dance halls (young people, rolling and spinning, Wiped the floors with their own clothes).

And now it's hard. This is a sexually provocative dance performed by girls. It became fashionable relatively recently, although it appeared more than two decades ago. Vigorous evocative movements under rhythmic music with ambiguous (and sometimes unambiguous) texts in themselves do not represent anything new. But there is something that distinguishes it from a number of other contemporary dances-the "bolkotryasov".

Musical basis

Perform a new dance for the old music is not interesting. However, there were never any absolutely new styles in the world of mass culture, in all cases there was a certain continuity. According to many successful promoters, for commercial success, style must have elements of novelty, but at the same time it is necessary to remind something that was earlier, otherwise the public will simply not understand the whole revolutionary nature of the idea.

The musical base, on the basis of which emerged firmly, is a kind of rap characteristic for the southern states of the USA (Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida). The second name is the bounce (in translation - boasting, and what the dancers boast of, the story will go below). The pioneers of the style in the early nineties were rappers Luke, Wreckx-n-Effect, DJ Jubilee, Cheeky Blakk, Ying Yang Twins and other musicians with hard-to-read and almost unpronounceable nicknames.

The most famous performer of the bounce was Jusy Jay - a former soloist of the band "Three 6 Mafia" from Memphis, Tennessee. It was he who recorded the song "Bandz A Make Her Dance", in which he boastfully claims that everyone who hears her sounds will invariably start "tinkling".

What does the word "hard" mean?

One of the keys to the successful promotion of a new musical or dance style is a short, biting and memorable title. This tonic consonance fully meets all the criteria of modern promotional art.

In its morphology, "hard" is a derivative of the words "twist", that is, torsion, and "jerk", meaning "pull". As in many other cases, the name of the dance in its official meaning does not reflect its essence, it has a certain element of esotericism (understanding only those who know what they mean). It was the same with rock and roll, the name of which actually means not so much "swinging and twirling" as quite different ... In the youth jargon the word "jerk" has one more meaning, and it is translated as "masturbation" .

The technical basis of dance

So, with the origin of the name and music, everything is more or less clear. It remains to learn the most important thing, namely, how to dance hard. It's not as easy as it sounds. As in any dance, everything starts from the position of the feet. They should be half-bent, which will ensure a certain freedom of movement of the hips, namely they play the main role. Then you should learn two main movements: "shake", that is, shaking, and "hip-roll" - rotation of the hips. Both have many options, but you need to remember that you should keep the shoulders at the same level. Having mastered this rule, you can move to the rotation of the upper body. It is produced in the direction opposite to the hips: if the chest turns to the right, then the buttocks to the left, and vice versa.

The image created by a solid

Mastering the right moves is not all. The dance firmly implies a certain image, which each of its performers strives to create. The erotic component of the movements is very important, and it goes beyond simply rightly executed na. In order to understand how to learn how to learn it, you need to feel this dance, feel yourself for some time a correct and well-bred girl, who suddenly decided to tear herself away. Not all this image goes, but it's worth experimenting. Especially to the person he is to those girls who have something to shake and twist, but there are a lot of cases when one hundred percent hits are achieved and thin.

Doubtless is the benefit of that sense of freedom and possession of one's own body, which gives it a firm and lasting touch. This is an energetic dance that requires emotional and physical tension at the limit of possibilities, and sometimes beyond it.

How long the fashion will last for a hard, unknown. Perhaps, he will be replaced by a new dance, even more expressive. Wait and see!
