Recently I have been experimenting with breathing in my Standard dancing.
The idea is to breath in deeply when you are rising into an 'up' step in any of the Standard or Smooth dances. Your rib cage expands when you inhale, giving you a very 'up' and extended look. Once you are finished rising on the 'up' step, release the air in your lungs and lower for your next 'down' step, and then repeat the process again.
While dancing Smooth and Standard we always want to look as tall and as confident as possible, and this motion will make the contrast between your 'up' and 'down' steps seem even greater. Thus, you will look like you are going even higher than you really are!
Try it out, you might find it works!
