As dancers, we spend so much time striving, correcting, and working toward a specific goal. Sometimes, it’s just as important to move, breathe, and check in with how your body feels.
This gentle active recovery flow is designed to help you reset, release tension, and notice if anything feels particularly tight, tired, or restricted.
Use it on a lighter day, after class, or anytime your body needs a little care rather than another hard push.
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.
This session focuses on two of the most common lower leg issues in Irish dancers: Achilles tendonitis and shin splints. Fran guides you through a series of preventative exercises designed to build strength, improve mobility, and reduce load on the Achilles and shins.
Ideal for dancers dealing with tightness, discomfort, or early signs of irritation
No fancy equipment needed – just a mat and a small step or block
Perfect as part of a warm-up, cool-down, or weekly prehab routine
Stay consistent and get ahead of injuries before they start!
