In contemporary we learned flat backs. At first my back was arching which meant the spine was not in a straight line (which was the aim). Then I went from an arched spine to a curved spine which was also incorrect. Finally my body alignment was correct and I can now do a perfect flat back in a sequence. I improved by engaging my inner core muscles (local muscles) to stabilise my spine first then I was able to involve the global muscle group to bring about the movement.

In jazz, ballet and contemporary there are leaps. If the body is not in the correct position when landing and taking off this can cause an injury and would mean my body alignment would be wrong in the air. When I was landing leaps and jumps in ballet I was not bending my knees properly. Luckily I managed to sort it out before any injuries happened as I could of got shin splints from the force leading through to my shins.

In contemporary body alignment is important as the style Horton is about getting clear shapes, for example in a lateral T your standing leg should be straight and your upper half and other leg should be in a straight line on top of the other leg. In order to keep hold of the body alignment you mainly need to use your abdominal muscles and gluteus maximus to keep everything strong and still.

They are engaged to move the elbow, however, the muscles that are doing the majority of the work are your back muscles these are your trapezius, deltoid, levator scapulae, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor,teres major and rhomboideus major. The deltoid and the rotator cuff muscles act as fixator's holding the shoulder in place. The reason why dancers use their back muscles is because they are stronger, meaning they will not ache as much when dancing. I know this because when I started at shockout I was not using my back at all and when doing strengthening exercises like holding your arms out for 5 minutes I could not even last a minute, but now learning how to use my arms through my back I am able to last the full 5 minutes]]> 2019-04-05 22:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lo_smith1/494jp4c7guk/wish/349096059
