So, how do you go about the development of the elusive quality of balance? As in the previous article, "The first element - the mainstay" You start by understanding the following three items, and practice some simple exercises to develop them:
The mainstay
Vertical Alignment
Horizontal Alignment
In this article we will provide you with an easy exercise to develop your second item. An awareness of your Vertical Alignment.
The second element- "Vertical Alignment" refers to the vertical alignment of the three main body-blocks:
Knees
Hips
Shoulders
PRINT this page and try the following exercise
Stand in front of a full body mirror and sideways, so that you are looking in the mirror on either the left or right shoulder. Bring along your feet, ankles and toes touching a little away at a 45 degree angle.
Well, keep your knees together to bring them forward so that they are coordinatedlarge vertically on your toes.
Bring your hips forward directed vertically with the knees and the toes or balls of the feet.
Pull your shoulders forward, then they are aligned with the hips, knees and feet balls. When you point your arms straight down, you should look in the mirror, that follow your shoulders, hips, knees and feet balls in a straight line.
Maintaining this alignment slowly pressure on the balls of your feet and lift your heelkeep the soil (ankles touching). You should be able to up and down on your toes without falling backwards or forwards.
With a little practice, you can stay on your toes in perfect balance. You are on your way to cope with the rise and fall of the smooth dances such as waltz, foxtrot and quickstep. They are also a better balance and coordination in many everyday activities.
Happy Dancing,
