Hi Alexey, I decided to start doing these exercises every day as part of my routine to try to stay dance fit while I'm in lockdown - I'm living in New Zealand, and we have been in lockdown for over 3 weeks here now. Managed to find a suitable pole lying around the house! I've always struggled with shoulder and back problems which make it difficult for me to keep a good posture when I'm dancing. Have to say that I've noticed a big improvement since doing these exercises - was very painful at first haha but now I feel so much more flexible and strong. Looking forward to when I can finally practice with my dance partner again as I'm sure he will notice a difference. Thanks for your excellent videos!!

Absolutely love the way you present your material. Thank you for being such a generous teacher.

Thank you so much! I love this video!😊

This is great. Thank you!

This is brillant! Thank you so much, Alexey! 💃♥️👍

Very clear instructions, even for (hopeless) beginners..thank you, Alexey!

seriously beyond grateful for your content!!! thank you so much!!!!

i love this ,after having surgery on both shoulders this has really helped

Thanks you for this video. This is exactly what I need. All your videos are very helpful!

Wowww!!! Loved it ! Very useful.

Awesome tutorial!!!

Great advice, thanks

Nice to see you again 😊!

OMG thank you for your videos! I saved them so I can start doing them in the morning before starting my day!

Thank you so much, it feels very good. Helping after 8 hours with computer as well as with dancing. You are the best!!!

Exactly what I am working on , THX !!!!

Love love love this exercise very much !!! Thanks Alexey 😊

u r great, i just love all your videos, please continue like that.thank u very much

Молодец ! Очень важные упражнения для осанки . Прекрасное видео . Рада видеть снова и буду заниматься Спасибо огромное.

Brilliant tutorial, I’m going to add this to playlist to practice to. It’s good to see you back

I really like your lessons, thank you 🙏

Wow!!! This is a great good exercise. I am sharing it with my students. Thank you for your tutorial. ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic! Thank you! 🙌🏻

I am so happy I found you *after* my exams are over and I have two months free time to train now 😅

Thanks 💝🌹

Very good. I started using the stick to exercise my upper body after watching this video

That was amazing. Brilliant i was lookimg for something to help with my upperbody posture for bellydance and that was perfect. I already have a cane for belly dance. But i love that this stretches and strengthens at the same time. As im tight from workimg in a barbershop all day .

You are such an inspiration, Alexey . Thank you for your posts.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much 🤗👏 👏 👏

My favorite dance posture exercises!!!

thank you!!

Amazing exercises ! Wow ! I dodn't know these existed. Very well taught: clear, pleasant and dynamic teaching. I've done them three times times so far. I'm not a dancer. I'm an amator latin dance ''dancer''. I'm naturally very flexible but had never really trained my upper body (isolation, coordination). And never that way. Fantastic ! I really enjoy doing the stick exercises.

Best demonstration and routine I've ever seen!!! I'm not a dancer, would love to be one though. Sadly I have ZERO rhythm and I'm extremely clumsy!!! 🤣 I've spent way too much time & money on physical therapy trying to correct these exact issues that were initially caused by a car accident, then compounding over time with arthritis since 1989. Not only have you addressed how to improve all the problems with bad posture, but you are excellent at explaining how these stretches work. And you demonstrate how, and stress the need, to start in the easiest positions, then build up to harder ones. This will keep many from injuring themselves unintentionally. You have as deep of an understanding of the mechanics of our bone structure and the muscle functions as any medical person. You also have created a routine that flows and is way more fun to do!!! So happy to have stumbled across your channel and will be sharing it with all my friends, doctors and physical therapists!!! Thank you for brightening and enlivening my daily stretching exercises. They have been boring and I've struggled to make myself do them for years, pure drudgery. I plan to check out your dance videos too. Who knows, you might be the first person to teach this old dog a new trick 😋

You are awesome! Really love your videos!

This has been very helpful and I am using this routine often. Thank you!!

Wow very good warming ! You are really good teacher Alexey!

Finally figured how to navigate this KZfaq thing. These are great exercises that I use my yoga strap to do. Thanks for the reinforcement.

Got the shoulder join injury before, underwent physiotherapy, it helped but the type of exercise was dull. Until then I found your video, very clear instructions to follow along. I did the first exercise only as a beginning everyday. My shoulder movement capability improved. Now I am quite confident to go further to the next exercise. My target is to be able to complete all your exercises. You are very generous to make such a well-presented video. Thank you very much👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nice exercises, thanks Alexey

Love from India

thanks for your video, following with u to do exercise is fun and useful.

Alexey - your exercises are extremely helpful for dancing and can so easily be done at home, Love it, Plus you are upbeat and personable which is much appreciated.

Hi Alexey, for me personally this is your best Video ever (and I do have a stick..!) Your routine is simple and can be highly effective..thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for this video! I'm am irish dancer, no ballroom dancer but its exactly what I was looking for 🥰

Thank you so much. By posting this video it helps me a lot on my reports on my major subject. 😇😇

I am getting ready for a dance competition in Philadelphia on March 27th 2022. I will be dancing the waltz. This will help my posture. I often dance the waltz a bit too fast! I have to remember it is not a race!

Hi Alexey, thank you so much for these posture exercises!!! I did them today with my ballroom dance class, and I was surprised how much they did for the dancers neckline. Great chest opener, I can recommend them for everyone! They had to dance a routine in samba today, mostly in shadow position, and dancing this they looked so much better than they did before, after they have been stretched this way. Plan to do more exercises with them now. All because of your great instructions. Thanks!!!!!

❤️ from Indonesia

Wow! These are great exercises. My goal is to improve my posture and have better balance so I can become a more centered human being and ballroom dancer! Thank you so much for providing the tools I need to achieve success. Now I just have to use these tools....

Video starts at 3:00 you're welcome

It's difficult 😀 but I'll do it daily and hopefully I'll make progress. Thank you so much for the video and great explanation!

I've been Search a Video about Dancing Skills for a Month but this Video Gives me a Chance to Improved my Dancing Skills, Thank you so Much.

This is great, Alexey! I'm always trying to consciously get my posture correct. I slouch a lot at my computer

Hi--I didn't watch this one yet, but will. However, I wanted to let you know that I hurt my back doing one of your exercises, the one aimed at correcting forward head posture. I didn't realize it when I was doing it because it felt good, my shoulders hanging down, and so I probably stayed too long in the posture (against the wall). Later I had a horrible back spasm and upon researching, learned that I likely strained my erector spinae muscle. I nursed it for a week, and it's better now, but you may want to give a little more caution to people when doing this exercise. Thank you!

This is just what I need right now. I am in isolation (#covid19) and need some good exercise routines to make sure I am ballroom fit and ready to hit the floor when this is all over. I do not think I can get my arms all the way around at the moment, but then Alexey, you are a few years younger than me! Stay save, stay well, keep dancing!

Hello there 👋🏽. My name is Alicia, I’m a model in Atlanta! As a model posture is very important, & some of the best models I know, including my coach have dance backgrounds! ❤️. So I decided to browse KZfaq for exercises that dancers do to polish my runway walk. Thank you dancers ❤️

greetings from bolivia

Hi Alexey, could you explain how to work my head during dancing ? I mean the sharpness:) how to turn it as bruscly as ballroom dancers do :) perhaps there is some exersices , and thanks so much for your lessons!

These exercises are the best! My instructor stresses posture constantly! He is always asking if I feel my spine is aligned. I'm not exactly sure how that should feel on my own. I am hoping these exercises help me feel that and make it a habit. Make me stronger.

Hello Alexey...first of all, your english is perfect for not native speakers. Second your tips are excellent. Thank you for sharing with us..

My dance teacher literally sent me this video

Great exercises and tips! Just like the other foot works exercises you had posted, they are so important and fundamental to ballroom💃which my teacher overlooked or didn't emphasize. Now I understand why I can't have or keep good postures during the whole course of dances. Will start to use and keep these exercises as my dance routines. Thanks Alexey😍

Благодарю вас , Алексей ! Прекрасное видео, важная тема . Эти упражнения выполняются также и в художественной гимнастике , они очень эффективны . Вы молодец ! Выполняете ли вы упражнения для закачки спины ?

Lol I don’t know where my comment went. But yes I remember now. I like Stephen. I just need to learn fast. If I take from another I want to do it in addition to. Thinking two different styles to develop my own. Unless it’s a bad idea. The lead and follow thing is tricky

Anytips on keeping your balance during turns?

Thank you. Well I just moved to Beaumont if you accept new students would love to learn more.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Alexey, Thank you for this video. I found it innovative and comprehensive. Would it make a difference if we use a stretch band which you used in the other posture video? Or would you recommend a wooden stick? Thank you!

Hi .I loved the way you explained & demonstrated.I am a 44year old mohiniyattam student.i have a back issue also.i tend to hunch during my dance.can I do all these exercises ? thanks and regards, Veena

Very good exercises! How long is rhe stick?

For the 5 exercise at 6:25, i not even close to do the full movement. The 6 one that is the same in reverse also can't do it. But i will keep trying until i become able to do it. Can i do this routine all days? Should i do the whole routine, then repeat 3 or 4 times or just do every exercise 3 o 4 times and then move on to the next one? Thanks for all the help!

Napunta lang naman ako dito kasi gagawin namin sa PE🤭🥺♥️

How length of stick ?

These exercises will definitely help me. How many repetitions would you recommend for each exercise to start and to work towards?

The exercise you do at 7:50 i can't even do at all! Even with my hands as wide as they can go on the poll... what would you recommend?

Info starts at 3:00.

Dows this work for figure skating??? (its rlly just a hobby but still wanna know)

You’re awesome. Do you teach? If so where

May i know how long the stick you used?

My shoulder joint popped out. Is that okay?

Who's using a broomstick? 😂😂

im not even a ballroom dancer why am i here

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
