What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
Our class will start off with a quick introduction in order to make new friends and learn a bit about everyone's dance experience and flexibility level. We will then get the ball rolling with a yoga based warm up to get our heart rate up. Once we are a bit warm we will begin our full body stretch and strength exercises that will target specific muscle groups required in many forms of dance. The class will always be wrapped up with a short cool down to send students on their way in a healthy way. No previous experience is needed for this class, all levels are accepted and students will be challenged according to their level. This class is geared toward dancers, however anyone looking to improve their flexibility in any way is invited to the class. As a teacher, I love to keep class light and fun while giving out as much information as possible. Questions are always welcome and appreciated in my class.
Learning Goals
Our main class goal is to improve both our active and passive flexibility in a safe and healthy way. Students will learn exercises that they can take with them to continue their stretch journey and make them better, safer, and stronger dancers down the line.

Parental guidance is always recommended when physical activity is involved, however is not a requirement for this course. Parents, if your student is dealing with any form of an injury, please contact me prior to class or have your student share with me at the start of our class.

This class is done best with bare feet and a yoga mat.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a professional dancer and athlete, yoga and stretching play a huge part in my health and well-being. I have taught these topics to both adults and children for many years and feel it would translate perfectly to the Outschool platform. Aside from training extensively in dance, I have spent significant time being trained and acting as a youth educator and have a passion for teaching. This combined with my knowledge of physical therapy will ensure students stay safe while having a great time.
