Description: Upper Body 3

For Dancers: Strong Upper Body supports natural, extended posture.

Stability in the upper body is essential for executing basic ‘Ori Tahiti steps correctly. In stabilizing the upper body, we allow for bigger accentuation of the hips. 

To improve our fa’arapu shape and speed, we need to strengthen our upper body to reinforce our back mobility & flexibility.

This is a short-enough circuit to combine with any other target-area workout. I recommend Strength circuit training on your non-dancing days 2-3x weekly.

Breaststroke movement. Keep thighs and feet on the floor for resistance. Raise the chest for Wonder Woman in one piece. Aim to keep back and neck long.

Take your time to own the range of motion.
