How to do dance warm-up exercises

We all know that dancing is a very physically demanding sport. Of course, dancing is definitely a sport. We usually choose some simple dances according to our preferences. Even for simple dances, there are many movements that require our body to be in good condition. If we are not careful with the movements, we may sprain ourselves. We should exercise well, and we should also pay attention to warming up before dancing. So how do we do dance warm-up exercises? Let’s take a look together!

(1) Head movement: Put your hands on your hips, put your legs together, take a deep breath, lower your head forward for 1x2 beats, raise your head backward for 1x2 beats, tilt your head to the left for 1x2 beats, tilt your head to the right for 1x2 beats, turn your head to the left for 1x2 beats, turn your head to the right for ix2 beats, repeat twice, circle your head to the left for 1x8 beats, circle your head to the right for 1x8 beats, for a total of 4x8 beats. Each movement should be maintained for a few seconds. Then, after rotating the head in this direction, when you point to the side in the opposite direction, you should look for the shoulder with the ear side, not with the face. Keep the shoulders drooping and still. Look directly to the left and right. At the extreme position, lift the shoulders and sink the shoulders to rotate. Rotate in the same direction and in the opposite direction at the same time.

(2) Wrist movement: You can raise your hands in front of you or to the sides. Simultaneously rotate your wrists inward for 1x 8 beats, then rotate them outward for 1x 8 beats. Cross your fingers and rotate your wrists in front of your chest for 1x 8 beats. Push your hands against each other for 1x 8 beats. Arms and back muscles Raise your arms from the sides to the top of your head, with the other hand supporting your elbow, reach the limit, hold for a few seconds, switch to the other arm, bend your waist, let your arms sink naturally, press down your arms, reach your toes and support your left ankle with both hands. Hold the right ankle and press down, squat down and stretch the legs. Keep one leg straight and put the center of gravity on the other leg. Flip the upper body so that one leg is straight behind the body. Lean the waist back and try to keep the toes tight when stretching the legs. Warm-up exercises require opening the body's joints, tendons and muscles, so the amplitude needs to be extreme and maintained with vibration, or even stretched wider with vibration, so as to exercise flexibility while warming up.

(3) Ankle joint movement: toes touch the ground and the ankle joint moves inward for 18 beats. Then, circle outwards 1x 8 beats, alternating between the two feet. You can also do the whole sole of the foot, four-position foot, and heel-pulling for 1x8 beats.

Through the above content, we have an understanding of dance warm-up exercises. We all like exercise, and of course dance is also a very popular habit. Dancing can enhance our temperament, exercise our walking posture, and make us more elegant. Of course, everyone wants this, so when we dance, we must also pay attention to protecting our bodies and pay attention to safety, so we must do warm-up exercises.
