Alignment, Posture, Strength

1. 1Posture = correct [blank_start]placing[blank_end] and [blank_start]carriage[blank_end] of the body.

   1. Aplacing
   2. Bcarriage
2. 2Alignment = correct [blank_start]lines[blank_end] through the body.

   1. Alines
3. 3Core Strength = strength of [blank_start]pelvic[blank_end] and [blank_start]abdominal[blank_end] muscles to maintain [blank_start]posture[blank_end] and [blank_start]placement[blank_end].

   1. Apelvic
   2. Babdominal
   3. Cposture
   4. Dplacement
4. 4Good posture helps [blank_start]alignment[blank_end]. Good [blank_start]alignment[blank_end] aids balance. Good posture, alignment and balance are all improved through a [blank_start]strong core[blank_end].

   1. Aalignment
   2. Bbalance
   3. Cthe core
   4. Dalignment
   5. Eposture
   6. Fbalance
   7. Gstrong core
   8. Hstrong bones
   9. Igood muscle definition
5. 5A neutral spine refers to the [blank_start]three natural curves[blank_end] that are present in a healthy spine. The bones should sit in a [blank_start]natural, relaxed[blank_end] way, lifting through the [blank_start]crown[blank_end] of the head. The muscles should hold and lift these bones without [blank_start]tension or fatigue[blank_end].

   1. Athree natural curves
   2. Balignment
   3. Cjoints
   4. Dnatural, relaxed
   5. Etense, ready
   6. Fstraight, rigid
   7. Gcrown
   8. Hback
   9. Itop
   10. Jtension or fatigue
   11. Ktension or ease
6. 6Neutral posture allows a dancer to completely and optimally attain [blank_start]balance[blank_end] of their [blank_start]body mass[blank_end].

   1. Abalance
   2. Bbody mass
7. 7Good posture optimizes [blank_start]breathing[blank_end] and affects the circulation of [blank_start]bodily fluids[blank_end].

   1. Abreathing
   2. Bbodily fluids
8. 8Name the sections of the spine:

   

   1. ACervical curve
   2. BThoracic curve
   3. CLumbar curve
   4. DPelvic/sacral curve
9. 9A dancer's posture should consist of:
   - Weight distributed evenly through the [blank_start]feet[blank_end]
   - Muscles of the knees and legs [blank_start]braced but not tense[blank_end]
   - [blank_start]Pelvis[blank_end] relaxed down, but not tucked under, maintaining a lengthened spine
   - [blank_start]Stomach muscles[blank_end] engaged to support the spine
   - Rib cage in place to allow [blank_start]ease of movement and breathing[blank_end]
   - [blank_start]Shoulders[blank_end] down with arms relaxed at sides
   - [blank_start]Neck[blank_end] lengthening upwards

   1. Afeet
   2. Bbraced but not tense
   3. CPelvis
   4. DStomach muscles
   5. Eease of movement and breathing
   6. FShoulders
   7. GNeck
10. 10Why is good posture important for a dancer? (4)

    1. ATo support overall health
    2. BTo aid relaxation and efficient use of energy
    3. CTo help bone growth
    4. DTo allow the joints to function properly
    5. ETo aid stretching
    6. FTo make sure internal organs are comfortable and can function

11. 11Correct alignment is important to enable a dance to execute the movements safely and effectively. Incorrect alignment leads to:
    - [blank_start]Compensation[blank_end] in other parts of the body
    - Movements being more [blank_start]difficult[blank_end] to achieve
    - Using the wrong [blank_start]muscles[blank_end]
    - [blank_start]Injury[blank_end]

    1. ACompensation
    2. Bdifficult
    3. Cmuscles
    4. DInjury
12. 12Core strength is important for:

    1. APosture
    2. BFlexibility
    3. CStability
    4. DInjury prevention
    5. EProtection of the femur
    6. FProtection of the lumbar spine
