Strength Training: A Maintenance Plan for Dancers

This is probably the execise I’ve assigned as homework to the most dancers over time. You know that front side “pinching” feeling women often get trying to execute a beautiful développé?

Again, think of this as a “healthy hip” movement that can lead to greater expressiveness as well.
