Research On Special Ability Of Chinese Excellent Latin Dancers Based On WDSF2.1 Scoring Index System

Latin dance has been introduced to China since 1986 and is known as a model of 'health' and 'beauty'.Due to the events are competitive and featured by highly artistic and appreciation,now this sport not only has a proper development in competitive sports but also has developed in mass sports.With the continuous promotion of the World Dance Sport Federation(WDSF),more and more Latin dancers have played an active part in WDSF events.However,although the enthusiasm of Chinese Latin dancers to participate in various WDSF competitions has been high,they have never been able to achieve ideal results in WDSF international competitions,or even to enter the final competitions.By research,the author found the part of the reason is that the excellent Latin dancers in China have insufficient understanding of the special abilities under the current scoring index and lack of understanding of their own special abilities.Since Latin dance is a skill-oriented sport to display difficulty and beauty of sports events,the referee scores based on the scoring rules,through a direct judgment of the athletes' on-site performance of each special ability to determine the game results.It can be seen that the special abilities have a close relationship with the Latin dance scoring rules.With the continuous improvement and regulation of the scoring rules,it also means that Latin dance sports required a higher standard for athletes' special abilities.Therefore,it is very important to improve the special abilities of Latin dance athletes based on the requirements of the current Latin dance sports special scoring indicators.Based on it,this research uses the current authoritative WDSF2.1 scoring index system as a control,using the Delphi method to determine the special ability system for Latin dancers based on the WDSF2.1 scoring system.In this research,both the interview method and video analysis method adopted to deeply analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the special abilities of Chinese excellent Latin dance athletes.Through analyze,this research aims to give some suggestions,which could be used to improve the training level of China's excellent Latin dance athletes' special abilities and their grades within international competitions,and eventually push the significant development of Latin dance sports.The main conclusion of the research is as follows:1.According to the requirements and standards of the WDSF2.1 scoring index,the Delphi method is used to determine the four first-level indicators and 26 second-level indicators which composed with movement control and completion ability,music interpretation ability,dance partner coordination ability,choreography display ability for special ability of Latin dancers.2.The order of the pros and cons of the four first-level indicators for special abilities of Chinese excellent Latin dancers can be ranked from high to low: the ability to control and completed movement,the ability to cooperate with the dance partner,the ability to show choreography,and the ability to interpret music.According to the ranking,it can be concluded that the ability to control and completed movement is an advantage for the excellent Latin dancers in China,while the musical interpretation within the whole special abilities is relatively weak.3.Within the ranking of the second-level indicators of the special abilities of Chinese excellent Latin dance athletes,for the ability to control and completion of the movement,all the abilities to complete the foot movements,the ability to complete the Latin movements and the coordination of the body rotation are the main strengths of Chinese excellent Latin dance athletes;while the movement cohesion ability is relatively weak.For the musical interpretation ability,the correlation between dance steps and music rhythm is the advantage of our excellent Latin dancers,and the ability of dance steps to express the music structure is the disadvantage within the whole special abilities.For the partner coordination ability,the coordination ability among dance partners is the main strengths of Chinese excellent Latin dancers,while the synchronization ability of dance steps is a relatively weak point of special ability.For the choreography display ability,the reasonable selection ability,the venue utilization ability,the ability to show the characteristics of dance style are the main strengths of Chinese excellent Latin dance athletes;and the ability of non-verbal communication with the audience is relatively weak.4.Strategies for improving the special ability of Chinese excellent Latin dance athletes can be concluded in four aspects: firstly,physical exercise training should be increased for movement control and completion ability,while systematic and scientific training also should be conducted on the second-level indicators;secondly,how significant the athletes consider music interpretation that should be established through the establishment of music Professional examinations,and the increase of music professional courses also can be used to assist Latin dance teaching;thirdly,the quality of the athletes' couple-dance contact movements should be improved in the aspect of team cooperating ability,while the training of no physical contact movements also should be increased for athletes;finally,the theory of Latin dance should be enhanced for the improvement of the choreography display ability,and the development of athletes' non-verbal communication skills can be achieved through more practices and the adding of performance and acting courses.Based on the conclusion above,the suggestions are as below:1.For WDSF dancespace federation,while formulating the standard of dancespace score,it is necessary to consider more requirements on athletes' special ability,so as to improve the emphasis of athletes on the special ability of Latin dance.2.For the coach,the training method should be guided by the sensitive period of different special ability training and maximize the development of special ability during the sensitive period.In the training of Latin dancers,we should pay attention to the strengthening training of the advantage index and the special and targeted training of the disadvantage index,so as to give full play to the advantage in the competition and achieve better results.3.For the vast number of Latin dance scholars and athletes,we should first understand the importance of improving the special ability to their competition performance,and then regularly measure their own special ability,correct understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the special ability,improve the pertinence of training.4.For experts and scholars in the field of dancesport,we should attach importance to the scientific research of dancesport,improve the scientific research level of dancesport,make the development of dancesport more scientific,and make more excellent research results can be used in the development of dancesport.
