Tutorial Tuesday - Proper Posture

9/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Correct posture and alignment is essential for all dancers. It improves balance, coordination, and body control. Additionally, good posture gives the appearance of confidence and poise (for dancers and non-dancers). Poor posture, on the other hand, not only gives the impression of hesitation or doubt in oneself, but also is bad for your body.  
Here are some tips for proper posture:
  • stand with your body weight towards the balls of your feet
  • make sure your body weight is distributed evenly between your feet
  • stand up tall, as if someone is pulling a string out of the top of your head
  • shoulders should remain square
  • lengthen your neck
  • display your collar bone (but be careful not to stick your ribs/chest out)
  • pull in your belly button toward your tailbone
Here are some pictures to help demonstrate:
