The effect of dance on a child
To properly perform the dance, you must adhere to certain conditions. One of them is the ability to perceive the rhythm of the dance and get involved in it in time. Children are very sensitive to the rhythm, they have a wonderful ear. But not everyone can not always convey this with movements. Rhythmic movements for dancing are aimed at developing a child's sense of rhythm, as well as the ability to move to music.
Possession of your body and knowledge of its capabilities - the main key to the ability to move beautifully. With the help of special warm-up exercises, the baby learns to warm up his muscles and thus prepares to perform complex dance movements. At this stage, he learns to maintain proper posture.
Choreographic movements for dancing demonstrate what classical dance is. In the classroom, the simplest elements and compositions are studied. Children learn to interact with each other, understand and feel their partner.
Musical games have a very good influence. Children create a certain image and through the movements convey a variety of feelings. Games during classes give a joyful atmosphere, charge with energy and vigor. Everything is easy and simple, but along with this, children not only learn skills, but also improve them.

Dance "Bullseye". History of occurrence
So, “Bullseye”. This is a popular sailor dance. Its advantage is that it does not require much space, the “Bullseye” can be danced even in the smallest spaces.

The melody is built on a musical square, the figures of the bull's-eye are designed for 8-12 bars of performance. The pace of movement of Russian dance varies from slow to very fast. Initially, the bullseye begins with slow, "wide" movements.
The performer enters the stage and at first strides along it in broad strides, but over time the pace is significantly accelerated. Gradually, he begins to grow, and all the dancers try to demonstrate their technique. The sailors' dance includes a large number of crackers, squats and male power tricks. Spectators are well aware of the performers' costume: vest,
wide trousers and visor. In Ireland, sailors danced in heavy and coarse shoes. To date, sailors perform "Yablochko" exclusively in boots.
