How To Actually Find "Neutral" - Review Day 10

http://www.dancemagazine.com/how-to-actually-find-neutral-2440448159.html
When in dance classes, all dancers are asked to keep on their neutral spine. But, what is a neutral spine, and why must we stay on our neutral spine?
Your neutral spine is when your spine, from the cervical to the pelvic, is in its natural s curve. This is different for everyone because of the different structure types for each different person.
Each dancer must stay in their neutral spine to stay balanced and to work all the correct muscles. This is extremely important. If a dancer is off balance or working the wrong muscles, then they could seriously injure themselves.
As a dancer myself, I am asked to keep on my neutral spine all the time and I can honestly say this is difficult if you have no idea what they are talking about. This article actually helped a lot and I actually feel better about how to do it.

14-Year-Old Girl Delivers 'Absolutely Extraordinary' 'World of Dance' Routine- Review Day 6

Eva Igo, 14-year-old dancer from Minnesota preformed a "hypnotizing" performance on "World of Dance". "Such a star", J.Lo states. I love this dance. You can definitely feel the emotion Eva is giving off in this performance. She seemed comfortable up on stage and definitely lived up to my mothers words, "Dance like no one is watching." One of the judges, Derek Hough, commented, "You dominated that stage," and she really did. She used the entire stage, used her face, and turned her dance into a story and conveyed the story so well that, as I said earlier, you can feel the emotion of her dance.

Ballet Dancer Leaps Onto Subway Tracks and Lifts Man to Safety- Review Day 1

 Ever heard of a Ballet dancer rescuing someone? Not normally right? Well, Mr. Grey Davis, a Ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theater, did just that. On Saturday night, a 58 year-old homeless man was pushed onto to subway tracks at the 72nd Street Subway Station by a 24 year-old girl. When Mr. Davis, his wife, and his mother were leaving the Metropolitan Opera House after watching his wife perform (who is also a ballet dancer), the incident unfolded. Mr. Davis was originally waiting for someone else to help, but when he saw that no one was going to he jumped down and lifted the 58 year-old, who is unconscious, off the tracks and others helped pull him up. Mr. Davis didn't realize the danger until he heard the on coming train getting closer. He then quickly pulled himself up onto the platform. On Monday, back at rehearsal, Mr. Grey Davis was honored by his instructor with a traditional flower wreath. This story made me smile. Hearing this reassur...
