Rehearsals for the Scratch Show The Martha Graham Technique

Dance Technique 

Having straight arms when swinging, always bend your knees and legs, point the feet, twisting your body which means always have attitude and when breathing always contract in each movement. Always have coordination with the arms and legs and always have control of the body and your breathing. When your doing your breathing contractions always take control of your breath as you contract. You should always use the core because when doing contractions the core gets stronger which will help with you being able to hold your balance just using the core. 

When your contracting you can notice it when your back moves with the ribs for example in the turnouts, and when your in the high release positions you should always arch the back.
