Anonymous asked: hello, i am very confused on what people mean when they say to keep you rib cage close and to use your center can you please explain it to me?thank you:)

Hi, I personally have the same issue. My teacher is always nagging me to close my rib cage. Basically what that means is engaging your stomach muscles, pulling up through your core and back. If you want an easy way to close your ribs- try exhaling all of your air feel in between your ribs and there won’t be a gap. Now hold your ribs and stomach their with muscles, DON’T FORGET TO BREATHE! I hope this helped :)

Anonymous asked: hi I'm 16, I started dancing about 2-3 years ago but it was school class so I didn't do much of a thing, I basically started around August with jazz and hip hop, I really like both but since I'm starting it's really frustrating because I can't learn all the moves as quickly, some girls have many years dancing and have many experience I feel really sad and desperate I love dance and I'm really trying but I just feel like it's impossible.. any advice?

Hi, sorry we haven’t checked our account in a while! Yes, my advice to you is to not give up on yourself. Please keep working hard, if it’s something you love to do keep working hard and it will come. You can never apply too much effort! Good luck <3
