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.
@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. 😉
You have no idea how useful this is!! Thank you so much 😍😍 I've been looking for exercises for balance and foot/ ankle strength for a while and here it is all in one 😁
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!
Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! I would love to see some information on hand positions and hand and arm exercises. I am so glad that I found your videos - I have been trying for years to find reliable consistent dance information. Your positivity is so appreciated !!!
@Maureen Happy to hear that. Awesome! Thank you for the suggestions - will put that in the idea bin. 😊 What do you find yourself doing with your arms/ hands now?
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
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 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.
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.
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. 💃💃💃
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
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 ? 😊
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. 🤦🏾♀️
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?
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
+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?

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

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. 👍🏼☀️

Steven, Yes! Absolutely. If you follow the video daily, you will strengthen your legs and feet to improve your balance! Keep it up. 😊
Thank you for warm upp on music. Very good Liwen and you are like a Yoga Girl in the beginning! I apreciate exercises with music background!

SpookyVR haha. Thanks! Hmmm... gotta get Tytus to hook me up! I'm guessing you're a VR fan?

@@DanceInsanity Thank you! I've just danced socially, Latin dancing mostly. Now I'm starting Rumba.
@@briribalta3698 Fantastic! Are dance venues open where you are?

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.
Dance Fan. It's natural for the body to react to stress/ get tensed up... smiling also helps! haha. ;)
emotion creates motion... lol!
Wow this is really helpful.. whats thw title of the background music?
James Marcial 👍🏼 Music during the drills is called "raggaeton showdown"
