Dance of the Phases: How Awareness Shapes Our Every Move
Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of movement, where every step, jump, and swing requires you to first be aware of what’s around you and then to control your movement. Imagine you're the star of your own dance show, moving and grooving in your unique way. So, put on your dancing shoes, and let's unravel the secrets of how awareness and movement intertwine in a magical dance!
The Three Steps of Movement: Preparing, Performing, and Completing
Imagine your body as a storyteller, and each movement is a chapter in your tale. To craft the perfect story, we need to understand the three main steps of movement: getting ready, carrying out - that is, moving our bodies, and completion or follow-through - that is, finishing our moves smoothly. It's like telling a story with your dance from the beginning, middle, and end.
Preparation Phase or Getting Ready To Move: Before we start dancing, we get ready by facing where you want to be or go and making sure we're balanced. It's like taking a deep breath before jumping into a pool, preparing for the splash or getting comfortable on your bike before pedaling.
Carrying-Out or Moving Our Bodies: It's the energetic burst, the heart of the dance where you gallop, wheel, jog, or engage in any locomotor movement. The world becomes your dance floor, and you're in the spotlight.
Whether we're galloping like horses, rolling like logs, or jogging like speedy racers, this is where we show off our best moves. The floor is all yours, and you're the main event.
Completion or Finishing Our Moves : The grand finale! Your movement continues in the direction of action, gradually slowing down, and you regain stability. It's like the closing scene of a performance, leaving a lasting impression.
Finishing Our Moves
After our big move, we gently come to a stop, like the end of a beautiful song. It's the moment we catch our breath and feel proud of our dance.
Dancing Across Space
In our imaginary dance floor, we can move in so many fun ways. Galloping, wheeling, and jogging are just a few moves we can use to dance from one side to the other. It's like drawing lines in the air with our steps.
Swaying and Swinging in Place
Sometimes, our dance is more about swaying in place, not moving around. We can swing, hang, or balance, adding a special touch to our dance. It's like being a tree, strong and steady, but moving with the wind.
Playing with Props in Our Dance
Let's add some magic to our dance by using objects! Passing balls, pulling ropes, or bouncing hoops make our dance even more fun. It's like being a magician, adding surprises to our show.
Making Our Dance Better
Every great dancer practices and learns from feedback. Imagine having a dance coach who helps you polish your moves, making your dance smoother and more amazing every time.
Using Our Dance Moves Everywhere
The cool moves we learn aren't just for dancing; we can use them in games, sports, and playing with friends. It's like having a treasure box of moves that we can open anytime we want to have fun.
Keep Dancing and Learning
So, as we keep learning and moving, remember that every step is a chance to show the world your sparkle. Keep practicing, listening, and dancing your heart out because the world is your stage, and you're the shining star!
Keep dancing, exploring, and shining bright, because our magical journey of movement is just beginning!
