Simple Dance Warm-up Core Strengthening Exercise

I hope this post finds you and your loved ones well.

There are five basic dance feet positions. https://binged.it/35wa4Ip

Do the second position with feet further apart than on the Web site. Turn out, which means have your knees and toes facing diagonally or to the right. Most people cannot turn out totally, so do so as much as you can. 

Bring your arms over your head, also turned out, and touch the fingers from each hand a foot and a half over your head, like a crown. Now spread your arms, your palms facing each other. Keep your arms straight and elbows not locked. Keep balanced for three seconds. Now turn your hands the opposite way so the back of one hand is facing the back of the other hand. This works your core more and engages your latissimus dorsi muscles. Keep this position for three seconds. 

Repeat. to make it harder and activate your core muscles even more, do this in  a relevé position, or on your toes.

Repeat for balance and strength as much as you would like.
