Join us for this one-off workshop, designed to help you understand how to maximise your strength and flexibility potential through a carefully tailored training regime. You will spend the morning learning three of our favourite conditioning routines that will help you to achieve your splits and improve posture, balance and coordination. You will go home with a vast wealth of knowledge that will completely transform your practice and place you well on the path of achieving your dance and fitness goals!
The workshop will include:
11:00 – 11:45 Warm up with ballet barre, introducing you to a series of exercises used by professionals to tone, sculpt and strengthen the body.
11:45 – 12:15 Strengthening – We will then work through several conditioning routines, introducing you to exercises designed to develop core stability, engage back muscles and strengthen the ankles and knees. For dancers, these workouts will enable you to achieve higher extensions, elevated jumps, stable turns and cleaner alignment. You will develop an appreciation of the difference between Active and Passive range of motion and we will discuss training options which adopt a balanced approach.
12:15 – 13:15 Stretching – We will then learn three ten minute routines, and explain how each of these can be modified to push your limits, whether you are a beginner or seasoned professional
13:15 – 14:00 With your muscles fully engaged and warm, the final portion of the workshop will be an opportunity to make use of the studio space and notice the incredible difference in the execution of your moves! By engaging and mobilising the appropriate muscles, your dancing and movement will adopt a new quality and lightness, helping you to achieve stability and greater control over balances and movement. You can also use this time to ask specific questions and receive individual help.
