This class is an ongoing weekly workout session that is focused on the strength and flexibility needs for dancers. You can join or unenroll as needed. Each class starts with a warm up and then we move into core strength and abdominals then a leg series focused on turn out and foot and ankle strength. Throughout the class we incorporate dance focused stretches. Many of the exercises are taken from the Pilates repetoire and all are chosen to support the needs of dancers.  
Core strength, hip and spine flexibility (splits, leg extension, etc.), coordination and balance are incorporated into every session!
Each week the workout will be tailored to the students who join. Every class is unique but the principles of strengthening the core and key muscles for ballet, modern, jazz, lyrical and contemporary techniques will be covered. This class is a great compliment for dancers who are taking several technique classes and would like to improve their strength and flexibilty for multiple styles of dance.
Let me help you reach your goals in the studio and on stage!
The teacher for this class has taught and performed dance for many years and has a BA in dance. She is also a certified Pilates instructor and physical therapist.
