The Fusion Ball Warm-Up, led by Ella, is a short yet effective session designed to prepare dancers before a full class, rehearsal, or performance. While the warm-up engages the entire body, this particular session focuses on core activation and abdominal strength.

Dancers will begin with slow, controlled movements to gradually wake up the body and promote stability. Using the Fusion Ball, they will challenge and enhance their core strength whilst maintaining proper alignment. The session concludes with Frog Legs, an energetic exercise that activates the turnout muscles and ensures dancers feel strong, mobile, and ready for further training.

Tips for teachers:

• Encourage dancers to use the warm-up as a moment to prepare both body and mind—being fully present in each movement enhances focus and performance.

• Guide them to connect their breath with each movement, reminding them to exhale during the most challenging moments for better control.

• Pay close attention to pelvic alignment during Frog Legs, ensuring dancers avoid excessive tucking (posterior tilt) or arching (anterior tilt).
