How To Keep Your Shoulders Down + Improve Your Ballet Posture  @kathryn_morgan
Uploaded November 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Want to instantly improve your dance posture? In this video, I break down two of the most important alignment principles for dancers: shoulders down and the rib-to-hip connection. This simple concept will help you stand taller, stabilize your torso, and create clean, effortless lines in your ballet technique.

Whether you’re an adult dancer, a beginner, or working toward stronger ballet alignment, this tutorial will help you understand how to support your posture from the inside out and give you a stretch to help you do it. If you struggle with arching your back, flaring your ribs, or feeling disconnected in your center, this will make a huge difference.
