Stretch and conditioning classes for dancers are designed to enhance flexibility, strength, and overall physical fitness. Here are some essential components of these classes:

Flexibility Training:

Dancers are taught effective stretching techniques to safely and efficiently achieve various splits, including open hip, closed hip, and middle splits.

Emphasis is placed on proper stretching methods rather than merely holding the splits.

These sessions also contribute to the improvement of dance movements such as arabesques, attitude derriere, penches, turnout, leg extensions, tilts, and grande battements.

Body Conditioning:

In addition to dance techniques, body conditioning focuses on muscle toning and sculpting.

The regimen incorporates elements from pilates, yoga, weight training, and core workouts to fortify the entire body.

*Dancers can wear leotard of choice to stretch class*
