Back pain is something we all contend with. As many of the forum would tell it's important to check your posture first. Are you in basic position(basic stance), feet hip width apart (or no farther than your shoulders), lower ack lengthened, with the tailbone pointed down (or slightly tilted foward so your lower back is straigtened) your knees should be softly flexed(bent). This position helps eliminate lower back pain esp when doing pelvic movements.
start with a good limbering stretch and warm up and a cool down period after dancing. Of course if you are in pain while dancing, STOP.
These are general tips to help prevent back pain, there are many websites and books dedicated to exercises so it's important to follow a program that's
best suited for you.
