Six breakdowns are included in the intermediate video, with 32 separate movements developed to emphasize warming all muscles, including Lateral Stretches, Glute Stretches, Spirals, Splits, Abdominals, and Pirouettes.
The creator and instructor, Kimberly Beck Thomson, is an accomplished dancer and instructor with a solid foundation of knowledge about the progressive needs in preparing the body for dance training.
