Dance and flexibility – the two modalities are synonymous. Whether you want to attempt a split, rock a high kick, or simply improve your range of motion - stretching helps to get you there. The more flexibility you possess, the better your extent of movement, which allows you to access more muscles, have an effective workout, and decrease your chances of injury.

The love of dance for most of us stems from it being FUN! While this is true, dance is absolutely a skill, much like learning a new language (turns and leaps, anyone?). These new moves and patterns take time and consistency to master and even seasoned dance cardio pros don’t get it right every time. There is beauty in embracing the beginner’s mindset when perfecting dance cardio and you are never too advanced to sharpen your form.

Hey DanceBody Babes,

The summer months are finally here, I feel like we spend all year waiting for these days! With the warmer season comes new fitness challenges for us to navigate, such as: vacation time vs. workout time, how to sweat-proof life, and daily balancing of summer indulgences. I think one thing we can all agree on is that the concept of the “summer body” is officially cancelled. It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress!

One of the most common questions I get from new clients at DanceBody is: “do I need to be a dancer?” And the answer is a solid “no” - you do not need to be a dancer, know how to dance, or have any dance experience to enjoy our workouts.

However, there are some key dancer hacks that will help you feel more comfortable in class. Follow these tips to help you learn how to feel more confident on your feet and even become a better dancer!
