Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go is my bane. I always want to play it and it ruins my posture.

I've been avoiding walking around with my phone out and playing Pokemon Go, which I typically do. Even when I do look at my phone, I try to keep my 2 points engaged. I noticed a difference today in Paso Doble with keeping my thighs forward and my hip flexors engaged.

"Keep the triangle pointing down!"

So yesterday I had a lesson on Cha Cha with Kasha, a professional that judged my last competition. It's a good thing I'm working on alignment because that was the thing she said I needed to work on the most. She said I pitch too far forward when I dance. She even made me wear this:

And told me that I always had to keep that triangle pointing down, no matter what I did. Then she told me to do that in day to day life as well. So I guess I'll be practicing that!

I'm resurrecting this blog for a class! In Dance 260 we have to look at categories from BEST (body, energy, space time) and evaluate them in our life. My prompt for this first week is:

"How is your alignment? How does it affect you specifically from day to day? Practice good, dynamic alignment and share how it is affecting you from day to day."

I know that posture is extremely important and it's really something that I have to work on hard. My coach always tells me to think of 2 points holding me up, one at my head and one at my lower back. I'lI be working on that through this week!

Hmmm

Not sure how I feel about this new Google Plus Thing. I'm kinda still partial to Facebook.
Thoughts?
