Stretching and Flexibility

About this event

Flexibility is definitely a desired attribute in dance. Creating amplitude in movement and beautiful shapes on or off the pole require strong and flexible body. In this class we will be working on increasing your active range of motion, so you can apply it in the studio or on stage. We will be stretching whole body during a warmup but each class we will focus individually on one or two specific flexibility shapes. Splits, middle splits and different types of back bends will be a primary focus of these classes. We will work on active flexibility, or simply put, your ability to use a split in a dance, not just sit on the ground in it. We put biggest focus on making your flexibility journey injury free and will guide you to gentle progress with highest respect to your body. The journey of flexibility for adults is vastly different than the one for the kids, we will help you understand how to achieve those shapes without forcing your body into painful positions.
