Combré



  In this photo Johnny is striking a pose for the camera! Many may say that this does not look difficult, but when it comes down to the physics of the movement, Johnny is actually using a lot of effort. With his legs spaced widely apart, and his feet planted firmly on the ground Johnny is steady enough to Combré backwards, and hold still for the photo. The energy being pushed down on his upper body where he is bent backwards and the energy that is pushing up towards his lower half of his body where he is pushing force from the bottom of his legs is called Support Force. Support force is in important to strike a pose because it allows a dancer to hold still and make the movement look effortless on stage, or for the camera!!
