Sometime your teachers and also our teachers
are saying to us we are stiff, we look stiff.
And, quite heavy at the competition.
because our breathing is not important at that moment.
because we are thinking about something else.
We are busy in our minds.
We are not thinking clearly. We are not connecting breathing with the movement.
So, our shoulders are up and everything is really held.
I would like for you to do a little exercise.
We have for example some cuban breaks. 2 and 3
on the steps where you have a sharp movement
2 and 3 breathe out, exhale.
On the way out you need to breathe in again.
so this is an exercise I will try with you again later.
Here you exhale, inhale
Exhale , inhale
Lets do it all with a sustained exhale.
Now we have 2 and 3 and 4 and 1
As an example. What would I do here ?
I will breathe in here.
Breathe out here.
to show this moment very sharply.
Very directly to the floor and to the hip.
Can we all together begin to to do this exercise I showed you?
but very sharp and very small.
what is happening with our body at this moment?
When we exhale very sharply ?
Our chest and the body is going down.
We all breathing now into our hip.
All our energy is connected to the floor.
breathing is not just an exercise. I'd like to try with all of breathing as an action.
This is an action.
Everything is going down.
Our shoulder, our chest, our center. Everything is going down.
On 3 we need to breathe.
This is an elevation of the leg.
This means our body needs to be more some and elongated.
We breathe in and inhale.
then on the sharp movement we need to exhale. cha,cha 1. Then we stop.
On the stop of our movement.What are we doing with our breathing? As we pose.
We don't hold our breathe as we dance.
This is just a longer inhalation and exhalation.
We are taking the power of the pause to fill the space for the next step.
Here we pause the breathing.
Not in and not out.
We pause the breathing for the next step...and 2.
Then your movement becomes stronger.
It's more sharp!
Once again with me. Use your breathe. Through the nose. Open this up.
Together with our center. Then when we exhale, it all goes down.
In rumba Its elongated into the knees. In Cha Cha Cha its more sharp into the floor.
At the competition, you'll be more relaxed. Your breathe wont be held.
It will be a little more natural.
Another thing is that we don't need to breathe everywhere.
The you dance your choreography you need to practice it. (Your breathing)
You will find your own way to breathe in relationship to the movement.
Because the breathing should still be related.
