Extreme Stretch & Flexibility: Beginner
Sample Video
Whether you are looking to further your mobility for dance or just for daily comfort, the beginner level is created for you! It is a great way to ease into a flexibility routine. As dancers, it is truly important to lengthen all the muscles we continually build and tone. In this video, you will learn 18 new exercises to lengthen and strengthen muscles. Breaking everything down for proper technique, Kimberly Beck Thomson has used her years of dance knowledge and teaching expertise to compile an efficient beginning program emphasizing proper form, body placement, muscle utilization, and timing to ensure that the dancer and/or teacher truly gains the results they are looking for.
This effective program emphasizes proper stretching technique. The use of fitness “props” helps the dancer attain greater range of motion. If you don’t have access to our teaching aids, feel free to use your couch, bed, or other items around your space – be creative! Dancers will be learning Split Stretch Variations, Pretzels, Cobras, Beginning Scorpions, Needle Drills, and Arabesque Leg Grabs.
