Strength!

[idanceirish101]

I have been told to be stronger numerous times from my dance teachers. They say that I am sharp, and I move across the room as much as everyone. But I'm still not considered "strong." I sort of know what they mean to be stronger, but I have NO IDEA how to fix this problem at all. Any help would be appreciated :)

I presume this is in your reel/heavies? To be considered strong you need to think powerful, it's not just moving across the room quickly it's doing it with long, strong strides. It's like ballet, in ballet they do arm and leg extensions, the "longer" they can make them look the more light, strong and graceful they appear. Get really high on your toes and really stretch out your leg keeping it really straight, and make sure your jumps are high etc. Hope this helps. x
