A wonderful all rounder for dancers.. Activating & lengthening through the hamstrings and firing up the core. Including the glutes, back (for posture) and anterior core.
Movement prep: inchworm-kickback

Hip and hamstring mobility and activation.. A beautiful combo this is.
Movement prep: Dynamic pigeon
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!
Warm up – Raise – Single leg hop
Complete for the length of a room on each foot or 30 seconds each foot. Warming up those feet n ankles.

Another fun way to raise the heart rate for dance. 30-45 seconds.
Warm up – Raise – C skips
Raise the heart rate with C skips. For the length of a room and back or 30-60 seconds
Warm up – Raise – A skips
Raising the heart rate with A skips – Length of a room or 30 seconds.
