Front Splits Strength.

Having the strength to support front splits is essential for many reason including:

Injury prevention: Strength at our end range of motion helps to stabilise the joints and muscles when they are in their most extended positions. Without sufficient strength, there’s a higher risk of muscle strains, ligament injuries and joint instability.

Enhanced performance: Being both strong and flexible will enable your extensions and front clicks to improve.

Functional flexibility: Flexibility without strength is less functional. End range strength ensures that the flexibility gained in the splits is useable for the execution of athletic dance technique.

You could aim to do this class 3x a week for a month and see how you get on 🙂

Live class Turnout & Core strength (bonus class)

Hi everyone, Chloey here! I took a live class in Raleigh NC recently and decided to record it and share with you all. It’s a class focused on turnout and core strength. If you’re a dance teacher on the academy, feel free to play it to your dancers at class or of course dancers can take it in the comfort of their own home. I hope it’s good to you and if you’ve any questions, ask away!
