Core & Flexibility with Maggie. Glutes focus!

The core and glutes are crucial for Irish dancers because they provide the foundation for strength, stability, and control required for the athletic and technical demands of the art form..

  • Power for Jumps and Clicks:
    The glutes are the primary muscles for generating the explosive power needed for high leaps, clicks, and strong foot placement.
  • Turnout and Control:
    Gluteus medius and maximus muscles play a vital role in maintaining turnout and controlling leg alignment, ensuring precision and technique.
  • Pelvic Stability:
    Strong glutes support the pelvis during single-leg movements, preventing hip drop and enhancing balance.
  • Injury Prevention:
    Weak glutes can lead to compensations in other areas like the knees or lower back, increasing the risk of overuse injuries.
