Another great all rounder: The downward facing dog with heel raises will lengthen through the hamstrings, lower legs, mobilise the ankles. Feel free to add to it with the hovers as shown and the extra core activation. 3-5 repetitions will be great!

One of my favourite ways to dynamically stretch the muscles responsible for lovely Cuts. go with 10-20 repetitions. As always listen to your body and what it needs.
Movement prep: Knees to chest
A great way to activate and mobilise those hip flexors as well as firing up the whole core area!
Movement prep- Glute activation
I believe all dancers should have some glute activation included in their warm up after raising the heart rate pop these into your routine and prepare those hips!
