Mini Loop Warm-up 3, led by Melissa McCabe, develops lower-body strength, core activation, and dynamic stability through a progressive mini loop sequence. The class prepares students for controlled leg lifts, turnout work, and weight transfers, while reinforcing alignment, core engagement, and spinal stability.

Band Blast Warm-up energises the body with small jumps, pulses, and jump-plank transitions, activating glutes, quads, and stabilisers while challenging coordination. Lift & Lengthen strengthens the posterior chain, quads, and core through lunges and controlled leg lifts. Obliques with Legs develops oblique and core control while enhancing hip rotation strength and stability. Loop Stretch Flow targets hip mobility, adductor engagement, and spinal rotation, combining leg lifts, second position openings, and twists to integrate mobility and strength.

Teaching Tips:

Ensure core engagement and a long spine during lifts, pulses, and twists.

Observe for asymmetry, and encourage consistent control on both sides.

Emphasise smooth, deliberate transitions to maintain flow and safe alignment.
