In The Studio Dundee’s words

Overview: In this class designed for dancers, learn how to strengthen muscle groups that are often overlooked in typical dance technique training. Strengthening these often neglected muscle groups will help decrease muscle imbalance in the body and will actually improve dance technique. Details on what will be included in class: * Strengthening (~35 minutes) * Foot intrinsics (no equipment needed) * Ankle muscles, with emphasis on "sickle" and dorsiflexion muscles (TheraBand) * Hamstrings (hand weights) * Hip muscles with emphasis on hip flexors and internal rotators (no equipment needed) * Transverse abdominis and multifidi (TheraBand) * Balance (~5-10 minutes) * Balance activities with eyes closed and on uneven surface (could use yoga block, folded blankets, etc) * Stretching (~15 minutes) * A final stretch of all the muscles that were strengthened during class
