Frame: toned but not rigid arms.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Core Engagement

    Keep core engaged for balance in turns — loose core causes wobble and falls.

  • Spot Your Turns

    Fix eyes on a focal point and snap head around — spotting prevents dizziness.

  • Floor Space Check

    Clear the rehearsal area of bags and bottles — obstacles cause trip injuries.

Safety Notes

  • Warm up thoroughly before rehearsal — cold muscles tear easily.
  • Keep floors clean and dry to prevent slips.
