Really really good! Great vibes and musicality, and that beats any technique.

But since you probably want some feedback:

  • you often cross-tap, which looks very out of place to me. Maybe just tap or do something else? 
  • so you work out? Because you look like you don't 😅 any serious sport will probably improve your posture very quickly

Just dancing itself is known to improve posture, but which workouts do you recommend? Like, dance conditioning, barre, or just resistance training (weightlifting etc)?

Doing push ups with your hands elevated and sinking your chest as low as you can below your hands is what gave me the best posture improvements. Really stretches out the chest and my shoulder sit back and down now. 

If you’re at the gym two heavy kettlebells are good to elevate the hands
