Legs in shape because of the marinera

 

The first part of the music theme has finished and the dancer David Rivera Córdova must disguise the tireness, the stress, the anxiety. “The complicated in marinera is stomping because strength in both legs is necessary,” he reminds.

 

He must address his focusing on the magic of art. “Many things are felt when the band is listened – an emotion is felt like any sport.” Paradoxically who dances marinera can’t do much sports because it’s an aerobic exercise itself.

 

“A swimmer or a soccer player can’t be a good marinera dancer – he must decide for one,” Tradición Norteña Academy’s coach Luis Mori Rojas, 29, warns, whom David has joined. “We have characterized by winning transparently,” Mori stresses.

 

“The marinera demands a general coordination of the body, flexibility in the arms, rigidity in the chest, power and stamina in the legs, mischief and elegance in the face – we have to warm up and the legs can’t be hard… but marinera works them out,” David clarifies.

 

Despite all, people who do anaerobic training –that allows power-development—can have learning sessions or practicing marinera as a complement. “You can’t smoke neither drinking because it brings down your performance – you must be well fed, it’s too heavy,” David warns.

 

However, Luis Mori has asked him to work out his chest for improving his look, and for getting fit into the costume. David tries to have a very healthy lifestyle and he prefers to stay home studying, resting, or watching TV. “I’m a quiet guy, I don’t drink, I don’t go to the disco, sometimes I go to the parties but I’m mostly my home.”

 

“He’s a very responsible guy, loving and hard-working what he’s going to do,” Luis Mori opines.
