Welcome to Fusion Ball Class 7 – Junior Level, led by Jenna Roberts. This session offers a comprehensive full-body warm-up, specifically designed to activate the body from the ground up. Emphasis is placed on developing core strength, postural alignment, and refined control—foundational elements for young dancers at this stage.

The class begins with gentle mobilisation of the posterior chain through the “Plank Pop Bounce” exercise, followed by targeted work to enhance à la seconde alignment. Each section is structured to build the student’s proprioception and stability, essential for sustained balances and extended lines. Core coordination and alignment principles are revisited to promote integrated, articulate movement throughout.

Tips

In passé and développé à la seconde, guide students to soften the ribcage, supporting full-body integration and avoiding unnecessary tension.

During plank and bridge-based work, monitor elbow placement to prevent hyperextension or locking.
