Strength for Dancers
Ready to reach the next level as a dancer? Whether you do hip-hop, ballet, latin, contemporary, or any other style, you need a stable and strong source to move from, just like any athlete would. Dance is an athletic skill that requires very intense body control and technique, and deep core strength is the underlying foundation. The core is designed for stability and also for explosive movement, so it is essential for dancers to maximize both in order to execute their most clean, powerful and fluid movements. Strength training not only improves a dancer's body control, but also:
Prevents overuse injuries
Protects joints and spinal muscles
Increases muscular endurance
Improves stability, alignment and balance
Increases flexibility with strength
Creates a lean and toned musculature
Individual Training: 60 minute sessions focused on strengthening from the inside out to give you a stable core foundation, and improve power and control for the aspects of your dancing that you need it most.
Group Training: Programs and workshops are available for groups and teams to increase overall strength, power and movement quality. Pricing varies based on time slot and location. For inquiries and availability email: info@trainwithchristina.com
