Strength and Flexibility

 This technique class teaches dancers how to stretch effectively and improve flexibility, strength and stamina in order to achieve better results in their dance classes.  

 

 Exercises aim to increase range of motion and build muscular strength, enhancing speed and power in high energy routines.   Building strength also improves grace and posture in adagio movements (slow and controlled).  

This is a technique only class and students who do not perform in our show.
