Have you ever seen dragon dance teams on foot?

Tianjin University of Sport has such a branch.

On the roller skating dragon dance team, the traditional "dragon" runs faster and flies higher.

It turned out that the dragon dancing players stepped on a pair of roller skates.

The players use roller skating instead of traditional walking. Therefore, "dragon" can keep moving faster than advancing, whether it is advancing, taking off or even turning.

Dragon dance team "head coach" and Li Yongming, a teacher of traditional sports in the Institute of physical culture, said that dragon dance is a traditional activity of the atmosphere of Chinese festivals. It is difficult for modern people to break through some of the technical movements. Therefore, they began to try to change the traditional dragon dance skills.

"Many students can roller skating. Roller skating is very fast. We feel that roller skating makes up for the dragon dance's" walking on its legs ".

In order for the dragon to step on the "Hot Wheels", the students did not have much time to work.

The first difficulty to overcome is balance.

Roller skating relies on foot movements to balance the upper body and the upper limbs. But the Dragon requires the upper limbs to hold the supporting rods, and then make the lifting, turning, turning and other technical movements.

As a result, from the beginning of last semester, players have been training basic skills repeatedly so as to cope with the difficult movements of limbs coordination in the future.

Dragon dance requires higher technical content and higher strength, especially when the elements of roller skating are integrated into it. The support rods need more strength, so women players and individual thin male players are eliminated.

After strict screening, the team left less than 20 elite members.

Coach Li Yongming is confident of the future of the roller skating dragon dance performance. "At the most half a year, people can see the performance of the modern dragon dance team in some public performances.

Traditional dragon dance's movements such as cruising, undulating, churning and crossing can be more wonderful after "modern processing".
