Stretch and Strengthen is designed to support dancers in developing greater strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, and body awareness. Drawing from Pilates, yoga, Progressing Ballet Technique, and other dance-specific conditioning exercises, students will work to strengthen the core, feet, legs, and upper body while improving posture, alignment, and control. Class will include targeted stretching and strengthening exercises designed to complement ballet training, enhance physical efficiency, and support injury prevention. This class is appropriate for dancers of varying experience levels and is ideal for students looking to build a stronger, more balanced foundation for their overall dance training.

What to Wear:
We recommend comfortable, form-fitting athletic apparel that allows for a full range of motion. Hair should be secured away from the face, and we ask that you avoid wearing dangling jewelry. Ballet shoes are required for all ballet classes.
