This warm-up is designed to prep your body for high kicks and extensions. We’ll fire up the hips, lengthen through the hamstrings, and build strength in the end ranges so your legs feel both loose and powerful. Use it before class, practice or feis days to move into big ranges safely and with control.
Enjoy this turnout warm-up video!
Feel free to adapt it in a way that works best for you – everyone’s body and energy levels are a little different. Some days you might want to raise your heart rate right away, other times it’s perfectly fine to begin with just the mobility and activation work, then pick up the pace afterward.
Designed to fire up your fast-twitch muscles so you can dance with precision, speed, and snappiness. This routine preps your body to hit the stage (or studio) with more sharpness and explosive power.
Perfect your Toe height consistently before class, practice, or competition to train strength and control in the muscles that keep you high up on your toes.
You could use this post dance class or post Oireachtas training with Fran. You could also use this practice on your day off to have a mindful full body check in and recharge. Enjoy it.
Perhaps you have the flexibility for your front clicks and extensions but lack a bit of strength and power? Then let’s aim to pop this routine into your schedule a few times a week.
You could add this into your pre practice warm up routine or complete it at home. We are working both the mobility and strength for front clicks.
A lovely way to end either dance class, Strength training and even a compliment to your front splits training.
