My Project
Dancers, like any athletes, require consistent practice and time to refine their craft. Sometimes, after periods of intense training or performance, it's important to step back and refresh our approach to the basics. Revisiting the fundamentals of dance, alongside building and maintaining strength, is essential for long-term growth and injury prevention. As we grow our Jr. High dance program, we hope providing a strong foundation will set them up for success.
Ankle weights target key muscles in a dancers legs.
Regular use of ankle weights can help dancers build strength in these muscles, which are critical for movements such as jumps, kicks, and balance.
Using a yoga blocks in a dance class can be an incredibly effective way to enhance flexibility, strength, alignment, and balance. A yoga block is a versatile prop that can be used to assist in stretching, improve posture, and even challenge a dancer’s stability.
Resistance bands are a fantastic tool for dance conditioning, offering a way to enhance strength, flexibility, and coordination.
