Fantastic! Did you know how long it has taken me to find someone, just anyone, who can show me the proper exercises for legs and feet in Latin dances? Much thanks for this video, I can certainly use these exercises. I hope others realize that these foot exercises easily translate to Standard Ballroom for rise and fall (via the feet of course). One thing though, I don't do well in spiked heels ... sorry.

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

@Dancer2016 Right on!! You're so welcome and these will definitely help. Like you said, in Latin but also Standard! Astute observation. :))) Daily practice with these are better than vitamins. 😉

just what i was looking for. these exercises have already helped me a lot. I struggle to hold my balance, but now after doing this daily, my balance has improved. THANK YOU!

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

SueprChickz That's awesome! Keep it up. It only gets better the more we do it.

@edulobo3797 2 года назад

Você é excelente, dança muito bem e é lindíssima. Parabéns!

@stevenwu78 3 года назад

That's a must do everyday drill for Latin dance learners. I found that if I my leg and feet muscles are weak, I can't make my ankle steady while walking or turning, then I will lose balance. Thank you.

@DanceInsanity 3 года назад

Steven, Yes! Absolutely. If you follow the video daily, you will strengthen your legs and feet to improve your balance! Keep it up. 😊

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

yulia awww... Thanks! ❤️ We look forward to hearing from you always. BTW, did you ever find a skirt?

@yuliapolyakova7568 5 лет назад

Dance Insanity that’s right. I never updated you on my skirt searches. I didn’t find anything like that at forever 21:( I was bummed out. But I ordered 2 skirts from amazon. They are pretty decent:) but i still end up wearing leggings to my dance classes

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

yulia polyakova this is just the start of your dance collection. I find my best pieces when I'm not looking. 😂😅

You're talking about me! I struggle with balance for some reason. So, i need these exerciese. Hopefully it'll help. Thanks for the video and I enjoy your light-heartedness.

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

+HenryC it'll help! Just give it some consistency of practice. :) Oh.. and keep your core strong too. How long have you been dancing?

@henryc3341 5 лет назад

@@DanceInsanity For about 5+ years now. It feels like the rumba walks should be easy, but I still get wobbly in the legs. I'll work on keeping my core strong. Maybe what I need is to eat less and workout my abs more. haha.

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

HenryC haha. It's always a good idea to work those abs! Keep practicing. Check out some of my spin videos... Can help with balance too. 👍🏼☀️

good observation Angi! LiWen and I are seriously into Yoga, Flexi-Much! yay!

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

Angi Angelica Yes! I'm a Yoga-gal. or in short.. yogal? hah. Do you yoga too? Glad you like the exercises. Any other stretching/ exercises you'd like?

@angiangelica9012 5 лет назад

I am glad that yoga and dancing completing each other. Yes I am doing yoga , too. Samayoga. It would be interesting some rumba hip actions and strech for my ”old” back and beginner in Latin dance 💃 😊I love your teaching , it’ s so cool too watch your videos and dance together. More music in the background and longer dancing parts with Tytus and the Beautiful Liwen. 💃💃💃

@tytusbergstrom 5 лет назад

cool! we are both really into Yoga, glad you are too! can you give us an example of what you'd like to see in the "longer dancing parts" category? thanks! tytus

@angiangelica9012 5 лет назад

Tytus Bergstrom . I would like to see you in rumba basic longer dancing. You have a very good video with top 10 moves , you can use the moves written on screen and dance a few minutes repeating sequences several times. Like you are dancing in a Ballroom place ! Hope I ‘ll dance with you soon on your Dance Insanity Chanel , the best one for me ! 👍👍👍💃👀OBS! Your name Bergström sounds Swedish , isn’t it ? 😊

@briribalta3698 3 года назад

Thank you for these videos. You're a great teacher! Could you do a video for improving posture? If I missed it pls direct me to it. I do a lot of driving for work and always feel like my torso goes down like an accordion🪗 throughout the day. 🤦🏾‍♀️

@DanceInsanity 3 года назад

Hi Bri! glad you are finding these useful. I understand what you mean about sitting and posture deflating throughout the day. That's a good idea on posture... will put into the idea bin. 😆 What dances do you do?

@dancefan.oopsimeanalemana5472 5 лет назад

thanks for breaking this down! how about a video to b more flexible in the shoulders? so they don't get too hi, noticed that I lift my shoulders too much and also they seem kind of tense

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

+Dance Fan you're welcome! ahh.. great suggestion! I'll add to the idea list. Maybe it's not just flexibility in the shoulders, but engaging your upper back to consciously pull your shoulders down. Do you notice that you lift them all the time? or just during certain parts of a dance/ certain dances?

@dancefan.oopsimeanalemana5472 5 лет назад

when stressed or trying to lead, but great suggestion, engage back. maybe that's a better video? what ever you think is best to solve the problem.

@DanceInsanity 5 лет назад

Dance Fan. It's natural for the body to react to stress/ get tensed up... smiling also helps! haha. ;)

emotion creates motion... lol!
