Ansuya has THE body for dancing...she's so gorgeous.

I have to agree with you - for example I have always found it easier to shimmy straight rather than bent , if that makes sense. If I try to bend and tuck my knees lock up - and I have been dancing now for 23 years. Okay, I learn more each day but I have to agree with you.

i want this music ~

Who know~

[bellydansoh]

yes but what she is trying to get across is that you shouldnt ever lock your knees whilst dancing, because of injury and cos it stops you being able to move easily from that position. x

[Adishakti]

It is wonderful to enjoy someone's dancing and want to be like them (Ansuya is very talented), but as informed dancers, it is smart to think about what advice we decide to keep. Take what you like of someone's dancing and leave what you don't (or is unsafe). Make it your own, and make it safe...

[Adishakti]

My comments are not meant to be critical or mean. It's just that there is a lot of this posture being applied, and it concerns me to see anyone harming themselves physically when beautiful dancing can be had with a posture of stature. (It's okay to bend knees and tuck the pelvis to allow for specific movements, but not as a general stance to maintain).

[Adishakti]

If you maintain a pelvic tuck as a general stance, you grind the vertebrae in your lower back and shorten your iliopsoas which over time will cause damage to both your spine and posture. Standing/moving on bent knees for too long will strengthen your vastus lateralis. That seems fine, but there are four muscles involved in your quads and they all connect under your knee. An imbalance in those muscles will pull your knee outwards and cause friction and pain over time. (Plus irreversible damage).

[Adishakti]

(I teach). Bending knees is required for most hip movement, but staying in any position for very long is not good for you. Your body is designed to stand up straight. The curve in your back is healthy. For the fun of it, try walking. Are your knees bent or straight when your weight is on them? Now walk with bent knees and pelvis tucked in. Which feels more natural? Forcing hip movement with straight legs is not good, and neither is maintaining this bend-knee, pelvic-tucked posture.
