Professioinal training Body Work:
After warming up our joints and muscles with soft strengthening and stretching exercises we continue with a conditional workout. This can happen rather in place or in rotated circuit training. Following we train our arm muscles, leg and butt muscles as well as our abdominal and back muscles with and without aids. The exercises are a mixture of classical strength exercises and variations particular for dancers for center stability, turn out, posture and balance. During the training breathing plays an important role so that not only our muscles get enough oxygen but that the rest of our body stays relaxed. We finish the course with a stretching.
We recommend to wear sneakers during the "Body Work" class!
