Posture Series Part Three - Hips

Today we continue our posture series (see previous blog posts regarding feet and knees) and we move up the body and into the hips! I love talking about the hips and pelvis. Perhaps I’m just a belly dancing nerd, but I often find that many belly dancers don’t know a lot about how and why their body works…even their hips. While this blog post is only an introduction to the basics of our posture I hope this brings more awareness as to why our dance posture can be helpful to identify imbalances, bring an understanding as to why all our bodies are so different and inspire people to learn more about their bodies. With a little extra body awareness and mindful movement we can tune in and find areas that could use more love.
