Body Alignment Sometimes dancers get caught up in the choreography and forget to hold themselves correctly when dancing. Whether your dancers are beginners or more advanced, it never hurts to go back over the basics of body alignment. Have them stand with their feet together, hands by their sides, and go from the top down of how they should be holding their bodies: • Lifted chin, elongated neck, eyes off the floor • Shoulders pressed naturally down and back • Rib cage closed, as if there was a safety pin holding it together • Stomach muscles engaged • Hips held even and level • Knees relaxed, not locked • Feet parallel or turned out (remind them that their turnout comes from their hips, with their knees in a line over their toes)
