Top Tips： Dancing From The Centre

COURSE: top-tips

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on dancing from the centre, using the belly as the core energy source to guide all movements outward.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Imagine a fireball in your belly as the centre of your dancing universe.
• Start all movements from the centre and let energy flow outward.
• For walking, let energy come from the centre with steps under your body.
• For arm movements, imagine energy starting in the centre and flowing through the scapulas, arms, and fingertips.
• Apply this concept to hip movements by starting them from the centre.
• Practice dancing around the room to feel the difference this makes.

REMEMBER:

• The centre is the engine that moves you, not the joints.
• All energy originates from the belly and radiates outward.
• Focus on starting movements from the centre to enhance flow and control.
• Avoid initiating actions at the joints for a more connected dance style.
• Visualising a fireball in the belly can help internalise this principle.
• This approach applies to various movements like arms, traveling, and hips.
