Fitness is not a quick fix program—it's a lifestyle based on the personal enjoyment, satisfaction, and benefits of physical activity and growth. This class is designed specifically for dancers to assess your overall fitness and learn exercises that you can carry into class and your daily routines.
You'll learn a variety of movements that can be modified to your fitness level that focus on flexibility, stability, and strength in order to find proper alignment, enhance mobility, address muscular imbalances, and reduce risk of injury.
This class is open to all levels.
We recommend participating in Stretch and Alignment using a non-slip yoga or Pilates mat. Ailey Extension does not provide mats for students.
