Welcome to the first 15-20 minute advanced level warm up class, guided by the wonderful Jenna Roberts. This session requires only a fusion ball, making it ideal for a quick warm up before class. It is designed to prepare dancers physically and mentally for class. The exercises in this session include:
Warm-up
Spine and hip flexor warm-up
TVA and psoas conditioning
Encourage your students to engage their senses throughout the warm-up. Invite them to notice the sensations in their bodies: the contact of the floor beneath their feet, the air brushing against their arms as they move, and the gentle stretch in their muscles. Help them connect these sensory experiences to their breath and mental focus, creating a holistic preparation for movement.
