In this three hour Dance Conditioning Workshop, you will learn how to properly warm up the body from head to toe for strength and flexibility maximization and injury prevention. You will learn proper alignment with stretches and exercises in the center and then run some drills that will also help with coordination and strength building. The class will begin with cardio to get the blood pumping and to get the body warm, followed by deep stretches and poses that will help with your flexibility, then we will get into strength exercises that will help you target the correct muscle groups used specifically for dancing, and it will end with some across the floor combinations to tie everything together and will help translate the exercises into actual dance technique and movement. The goal of the class is to get dancers to understand the anatomy and physics of their body and introduce dancers to conditioning that they can take home with them to suit their specific dance goals. This class should be fun but challenging and full of sweat, so bring some water, a towel, and some snacks as we will have breaks in between segments.

This class focuses on two parts:
1) Dance Conditioning which focuses on lengthening and strengthening muscles, increasing range of motion, and improving the cardiovascular endurance, using cross-training and dance techniques.
2) Dance Technique focuses on various kicks, jumps, and turns in across the floor combinations.
