Core Opposition
Also called: core tension
Definition
The constant abdominal engagement that separates a low, grounded lower body from a rigidly upright, quiet upper body. It lets the feet move at high speed without the shoulders shaking, and is the physical signature that separates a world-class New York Style dancer from an amateur.
