Whole body strength and coordination are crucial elements in becoming a competent dancer. It is particularly important to have strong feet and ankles to ensure stability and power. These attributes are essential in performing double and single leg work, as well as, when jumping and rising onto pointe. After your initial assessment, our team of Physiotherapists and Clinical Pilates instructors will identify areas for you to work on enhancing your dance conditioning and preventing any injuries.
Pilates Private and Semi Private classes for ballet dancers
This specific exercise program (Clinical Pilates Dance Conditioning) is tailored to the individual’s needs with constant monitoring and progression. At Incline Health we reassess each participant every 4-6 weeks ensuring the development of strength, stability, and professional growth.
At Incline Health it is essential for each participant to perform 2-4 private (one on one) session to master and fully comprehend the technique of each exercise. This is dependent on the progression of each participant. From this point participants can move into a semi-private class with our other dancers. These classes will focus on the individual’s program whilst in a small group environment, fostering support and healthy competition.
Areas of key focus are:
- Foot strength and stability
- Ankle strength and stability
- Knee strength and stability
- Hip strength and stability
- Core control
- Trunk and lumbar strength
