How to breathe and sculpt your way to the flat ballerina belly!

Dancers have beautiful, strong and sexy centers

Whether you’re watching new TV shows like Dancing with the Stars on ABC USA or So You Think You Can Dance on Fox TV USA, you can see that all the dancers have sexy flat abs that are not bulky or thick. They are absolutely stunning to watch, both women and men.

The biggest testament to how dance moves and dance technique shape abs is watching the competitors start to compete and the final episodes. Their bodies transform into even more beautiful and sexy shapes from the first show to the end. I am convinced that dance and dance technique define your body so much that I have my athletes, professionals and novices do dance moves and use the philosophy of dance to prepare them for their competitions.

Suck and poke

While lying on your back with your knees bent, place your feet flat on the floor at the hips. Relax your neck and shoulders. Begin each abdominal exercise with this technique. Suck in your abs and press them back and down on the pelvic floor. Next, tuck your pelvis down so that your tailbone points skyward. This allows your lower abs to become flat. This technique creates great abdominal definition and greatly increases overall strength. Thus, you have the secret abdominal training technique of the dancer Suck and Tuck.

In this position, powerful breathing is done by breathing slowly and deeply through the nose for approximately 75% of lung capacity. Breathe into your stomach using your diaphragm. Exhale through your mouth covering your teeth with your tongue and hiss while tensing your abs until you get a full contraction. This should be done at the rate of four counts or four seconds. Four seconds up, four seconds down. Breathe in before doing push-ups or contractions, and breathe out as you roll down or return to the starting position. Hold the position at the top for a count of four and inhale again, then exhale and roll back down.
