Spine
The first part of your spine
What is your Atlas/Axis OR Cervical spine?
Another name for shoulder blade.
What is your scapula?
A bowl (or a butterfly).
What is your pelvis shaped like?
You should use these muscles to support your spine when you go into flexion in order to get an adequate curve.
Abdominals- Transverse and Rectus.
Describe the movement Ms. Baechle is doing.
Looking for rotation (twist).
They both curve in the same direction.
What do your Lumbar and Cervical Spine, OR Thoracic Spine and Sacrum have in common?
24.
How many ribs do you have?
I'll be the judge of that.....
What muscles is Ms. Baechle using?
Obliques.
These are the two main elements that Ms. Baechle hopes you gain in your spine.
Flexibility and Strength
This part of your spine is referred to as your lower back.
What is your lumbar spine?
The bony plate where the ribs connect in the front of your body.
What is your sternum?
Watch Ms. Baechle- what joint is she moving/pointing to?
Sacro-iliac joint.
The most interior abdominal muscle that protects your organs.
What is your transverse abdominis?
They are the 3 types of joint motion.
Flexion, Extension, and Rotation.
This is inside of, and protected by, your spine.
What is your spinal cord?
It connects the clavicle to the scapula.
What is the acromio clavicular joint?
They are commonly known as your "sitting bones."
What are "Ischial Tuberosities."
Demonstrate a movement that uses your obliques.
Ms. Baechle will decide...
Demonstrate a movement that uses your Atlas and Axis.
3-Step Turn, Head isolations.
Use at least 5 anatomical/dance terms to describe the dance step Ms. Baechle is performing.
Roll down- begin with your atlas and axis tucking toward your sternum. Go into spinal flexion, adding the rest of your cervical vertebrae as well as your thoracic and lumbar spine. Make sure that your skull is heavy, and that you are using your transverse and rectus abdominal muscles to support your spinal curve.
When performing spinal extension, this is one bone that you think of lifting up to the sky.
Clavicle (or Sternum).
These bones separate when a woman gives birth.
What is the pubis/pubic bone?
Demonstrate a dance move that utilizes your transverse and rectus abdominus.
I'll be the judge of that...
