Core Muscle Balance
I Need a Dancer's Advice?
I'm 12, and I'm taking a beginners leaps and turns class. For this, we need a solid triple turn on both right and left. My right is pretty good, but I can barely do 2 on left.
So, what are some tips on strengthening core muscles, spotting, and balancing?
First of all, that must be a pretty intense "beginner" class. True, my old competition studio wasn't known for their turns, but they were pretty forgiving of triples, especially on the left foot.
Truth is, to this day that studio doesn't turn on the left, and no one there knows how to. So congrats on being reasonably balanced turn-wise.
But on to the actual question. Turning is nothing but rotating on a solid central axis, which happens to be your body. Imagine a top, if any part of it was out of balance, it wouldn't spin. To really work on your turns, practice your balances, strengthen your core through crunches, flutter kicks, or pilates, and make sure you have a strong spot. Also, to improve all three of those areas, remember to stay focused while you're turning. All too often a dancer will get lost in the sensation of spinning and forget everything they've learned on the barre. Keep focused on your spot, and remember to use the floor and stay balanced. Best of luck!
