How to improve Posture while dancing?
You have to constantly be mindful of it until it becomes a habit.
So when you're dancing or practicing, keep posture in mind and correct yourself when you notice a slip. Do this over the next few weeks and it should resolve itself. posture practice is about awareness of the different elements of how we organize our bodies while we dance, and then monitoring those doing movement practice. Good movements flow from good posture, and the best time to start learning and practicing good posture is right now - every minute you spend dancing with poor posture is time you spend training yourself to dance with poor posture.
Stop looking down, at your feet or your partners feet. Be mindful that where the eyes/head goes the body goes. Keep your head/eyes high. Especially for leads as you need to be cognizant of the surrounding dance floor and those around you.
Looking down at your partner’s feet:
- bends the neck, causing a natural bend in the back and hunched over look.
- It REDUCES space between you and your partner because your head fills the space that should actually be clear
- Makes you look less confident and ruins the image
- Teaches the bad habit of focusing on unimportant details (if you've lead it, assume they've done it or watch where their BODY goes, not where their feet go.
If you want to improve your posture, start going to the gym. Good posture is a key for body leading, things like sensual bachata. But try not to be stiff, there is a good middle ground.
Outside of dance something I always like to keep in mind when walking around, is to think about Superman walking with is cape on.
In practice focus on not leaning forward at the waist, aim for leveling hips and minimize pelvic tilt. And shoulders rounded forward affects your balance. A good dance teacher can help you with exercises and drills that will help you take your Dancing to the next level.
