What are some excercises to help with balance?

Question

I'm trying to improve my balance for dance. Are there any specific excercises or activities to help me with that?

Answer 1

Well, anything really that strengthens those stomach muscles. What my dance teacher tells me to do for my stomach (also like the core muscle) is to do crunches. They are kind of like sit ups, except have your hands behind your head, not across your chest.

Also, if you have a large medicine ball, you can lay your back on it and do sit ups and or crunches from there.

Good luck!!
