I remember hearing in our fitness classes, the importance and necessity of working on the core everyday, to become a better dancer. How having a strong core helps overall with strength and balance.
Recently, during a movement workshop, which was not specifically a dance class, but mainly a physical theater class, I was not surprised to hear once again the emphasis on the core by the instructor. An interesting bit was pointed out, he mentioned how it was believed long time ago that the heart was actually where our core is ... that is our abdominal area, because that is where you feel the most. Well, you do.. think about it ...
..butterflies in the stomach,
..act from your gut,
..feeling sick in the stomach due to nervousness or anxiety..
all these emerge and some you can actually feel in your core, I guess they had a good reason to believe that's where the heart was ... to me this is another reason to realize the power and importance of our core, which seems to contribute to our physical and emotional beings.

You know that feeling you get when you are about to begin a fitness class with DI, the feeling of "oh man this class is gonna kill me" well you bet! You sound terrified but you are back for the next lesson, why? Because you know, that you are better than the last lesson in terms of stamina and strength. We work our way through bollywood masala songs, bhangra, salsa, rock n' roll, any music you name that can make you jump, twist and run and you will hear the genre in class and you will watch the sweat drip down and feel you are running out of breath.
Sounds demanding? Well if you are truly seeking to change may it be, your posture, fitness level, stamina, any of those things, you have got to be ready to work and you have got to work with people you know can last through the workout themselves before they lure you with the likes of how much "fun" you will have in class. We have fun but we feel the workout every song and every move and that's how we like it.
Most importantly, I can trust my instructor who tells me when to slow down and when to keep going because I know and I've seen them carry out the whole routine with me. They last class after class and that right there proves to me their credibility.
So the next time you see a poster selling you the fun behind fitness classes make sure
1).
You are getting your work out and have phrases like "oh man they killed us but I feel good, see you next class" and not just "wow, that was fun" because that's what you'd say when you get out after sitting in a theatre watching a blockbuster.

2).
Your instructor has been known to last through the routine they are having you sweat through.
