Stretch & Strength Classes
Fine-Tuning the Body for Dance
About Our Stretch, Strength, & Flexibility Lessons
Conditioning the body and injury prevention work are essential to every dancer's training. Stretch and strength classes will help dancers increase their endurance, strength, and flexibility. Well-qualified teachers prepare exercises based on dancers' needs and are constantly working on educating themselves to better their students. Our dance studio takes injury prevention very seriously.
​
A separate flexibility class is offered at the end of the evening, with the expectation that dancers' bodies are very warm and ready for deep stretching after their dance classes. This time is dedicated to increasing flexibility by relaxing into static stretches.
