Focus of Training 2

An area i need to develop is leg alignment as well as core strength. My core strength is good but i know it is something i need to improve on as it will help me in my pirouettes and in retire position.

Improving on my leg alignment with help with making my movements look tidier and much more sleek. Also by keeping the correct alignment i am preventing knee injury as if you have a very bad alignment in your legs when dancing then you can be at risk of making your knees hurt when they shouldn’t unless you have an inaccurate leg alignment.

I improve this by always being dead straight in parallel, therefore my heels shouldn’t be seen and only my toes. This will also automatically correct my knee alignment although i need to be aware that my knees need to stay facing to the front and when i am bending over in rebounds or just stretching my hamstrings then my knees push out.

I need to be doing ab stretches everyday. This means crunches, sit ups whilst watching tv, crunches in second whilst laying on my back etc. This stretches will enable me to build up my core stability. Another beneficial stretch is doing plank for 1 min everyday whilst listening to music or watching the tv.

I will do this during every single dance lesson i have whether its during school or at my dance school.
