Ready for your best year of dance? This program gets you ready for the upcoming season by improving the fundamentals required to dance with grace, power, and precision.

Yoga and Pilates will be used to work on breathing, core control, and alignment while motor control drills will work to improve turnout, balance, and extensions. No Strong Dancer program would be complete without weight lifting and kettlebell exercises to develop strength and power!

Are you struggling to catch your breath during your routines and performances? This program is designed with exercise physiology principles in mind to increase resiliency throughout the dance season.

Pilates exercises will be used to improve core strength while helping dancers better control their trunks, hips, and shoulders. Full body strengthening will focus on muscular endurance to build a strong base for future programs and all classes will integrate high-intensity intervals to improve cardiovascular capacity; this has been shown to help decrease over-training and injury risks throughout an athlete’s season.

Looking for beautiful lines in your dancing? Flexibility and beautiful extensions are important for success in dance; but not if it comes at the cost of injury.

Traditional prolonged stretching programs can cause injury and do not work on the ability to carry the body safely to the new range of motion. This program works on core strength and body awareness to improve trunk control. This is combined with mobility drills and strengthening into the end range to improve flexibility and motor control.

Falling out of turns? Can’t quite get that new turn combination? Learning to better use our core and extremities can help us land that perfect pirouette!

This program will combine strengthening with body awareness and balance training in order to gain the skills required to improve turns. A strong focus will be placed learning to connect our shoulders and hips to our core to provide a strong foundation for pivots and turns.

Want higher jumps? Want to travel farther during leaps? Greater strength allows dancers to push more force through the ground, making jumps bigger, better, and less effortful!

During this program, be ready to lift weights, perform plyometric drills and work on landing techniques to help cope with the high demands of dance. Core strength and limb control will also be included in this program to ensure good movement mechanics and improved extensions.

Want beautiful, strong feet? Are your feet getting tired after class? Working towards that first pair of Pointe shoes? Stronger feet help build dancers from the ground up!

During this program, learn how to improve the strength and control of the 29 muscles in your feet & ankles and how they work with the rest of your body. This program is also great to prepare ballet dancers for Pointe work and for dancers recovering from foot and ankle injuries.

Want to lift your partner effortlessly? Need more strength for your floorwork combos? Working towards a harder tumbling pass? Building control & strength in your arms is the key to better lifts and tricks!

During this program, be ready to learn how to control your shoulders and lift some weight. Building your load capacity and lifting techniques help improve performance and decrease injury risk.
