Stretch & Strengthening (ages 18+)
This class helps to develop and strengthen the dance muscles. For example, we strengthen our feet for pointed toes and sustained forced arches, we isolate and tone our hamstrings and abductors for turns, kicks, and balance, we strengthen our core for control of movement, we work on flexibility for leaps and jumps. We leverage yoga blocks, balls, bands, and other measures to attain optimal isolation of the muscles and the mildest yet sustained stretches for developing lean but tone muscles.
