Cupid Shuffel

Cupid Shuffel

This is a fun song played at almost every high school dance. It gives everyone a chance to dance even if you ain't got rythym.

1) Step 4 times to the right.

2) Step 4 times to the right.

3) Kick your right leg up to the heel and then your left repeat twice.

4) During the walk it by yourself part just walk in place and turn to the left. 

 

While doing this dance you really just have to listen to the words of the song and do what it tells you. The step by step will just give you a better idea of the song.

Cha Cha Slide

THE CHA CHA SLIDE

The cha cha slide, to me, is one of the most fun, simplest dances someone can learn. All you have to do is listen to the words of the song that the one guy is singing and follow along.

A link to this dance is right below what I have written here.

It is very simple. Try it out sometime on your own. If any of you would even do that.

Arms

For todays blog im taking you out of the dance room and into the weight room. If your going to be a good dancer haveing big arms definatly helps. They both atract attention and make some dance moves and holds easier. 

Arnold has a lot to say about arms and you can definatly tell why.

He was all about seeing yourself the way you want it to be as you lift. He bleieved that you had to have a lot of positive self talk to lift the way you wanted to.This quote from Arnold is a perfect example of how he did what he did.

 "In my mind I saw my biceps as mountains, enormously huge, and I pictured myself lifting tremendous amounts of weight with these superhuman masses of muscle."

    A lot of people think "curls for the girls" but arms are a lot more than just your bicepts. He talks about how your bicept is 1/3 of your arm while your tricept is 2/3 of it. Its very important to develop your arms equally and remember to work the tris. 

      Another problem with lifting your arms is that they get used to the excersise very quickly and pretty soon it wont help you improve. The way to overcome this is by "shocking" the arms with changes and variations in your lift. Some ways to do this is by switching up weight amounts, adding reps and sets, speeding up training so as to lift more forcefully, decreasing rest between sets, performing unfamiliar exercises, and doing your normal exercises in an unfamiliar order.

    While doing curls or tricepts you have to use perfect form so you can isolate the muscle. Even though he praises perfect form he also says its a good thing to cheat. Its not the same cheating you think of though. After you cant do anymore reps with perfect form you cheat by using your body to get the bar up. This helps wear the bicepts out part the point where they cant go anymore.

    Some perfered exercises of Arnold are "concentrarion curls" and "arnold curls."

Break Dancing

Breaking it down

Break dancing is also known as B-boying or breaking. Its a style of street dance that was first originated from young Black and Puerto Rican  youths in New York City during the 1970s. After this the dance spread across the world especially through South Korea, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and Japan.

This dance is very versatile and can be changed and modified in many ways. Their are 4 main kinds of movements: Toprock, Downrock, Power moves, and freezes. While break-dancing you usually dance to hip-hop, funk or break-beats.

 

A nickname for someone that break dances is a Breaker.

Break dancing takes lots of strength in your core and small muscle groups and joints.

Good workouts for break dancing are pull-ups, inverse push-ups, and ab roll-outs.

The best way to get better at this dance is practice and learn in a class. Its hard to do it based on pictures or guidelines. Its best to learn by doing with this dance.

Nae Naeeeee

NAE NAE

The Nae Nae, one of the most weirdest dances I have ever witnessed. If you have never seen what it looks like, take a look at this wonderful gif image I have pulled off of google images.

If you have trouble sounding out the name of the dance, just think of a horse. (Naaaaaayyyy)

Just another reason why this dance is really pointless and makes you look like a complete idiot. Just look at this football coach.

This "dance" just makes no sense to me.

Twerk Some Girl

Twerk

Pronunciation  /twərk

 

verb

[no object] • informal

• Dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance:

The famous twerker now-a-day is Miley Cyrus. You can see her twerking in almost any video she has. She also twerked at the MMAs like most of you have probably seen.

You can also see some twerking if you come to a Jackson High dance. 

Another type of twerking is wall twerking. This type is very dangerous and many girls are injured while trying it. To do it you do a hand stand and put your feet on the wall. Then you twerk like you normally would, just upside down.
