This next clip talks a little bit about the correct posture for Flamenco Dance. When standing prepared to dance, the first thing one must think about the alignment of the shoulders over the hips and the hips directly over the legs. In this position, we make sure that we pull in the abdominal muscles, so that we feel belly button to spine, so to speak. At the same time, we want to bring those shoulders back and down so that the chest is lifted very, very proudly. We want to make sure that we don't stick the tail bone out, but that we push the tail bone under so that our alignment is perfect. Now if you look at me in this direction, that same alignment taken this way, correctly would mean, shoulders back and down, and the tail bone tucked under, the abdominals engaged. We don't want to push the tail bone out. This would be incorrect. This would be correct.
