Dance Conditioning Class
An upbeat class that combines athleticism, teamwork, and dance. Students engage in a cardiovascular warm-up, dynamic stretching, partnered strength training and/or group activities, and dance technique. The primary technical skills we explore are jumps, kicks, turns, and balance.
