Welcome to our Dance Conditioning at home page
We truly believe that keeping your body moving is the ONE of the best things you can do for yourself both physically and mentally! We are here for you, wherever that might be! Below you will find links to our assessment pieces from DC classes that our dancers are very familiar with. Miss Janine is the voice in every video leading the dancers through the movements. Please use these for your at home workouts while we are not able to physically be in class with one another. We miss each and every one of your beautiful faces!
How to get started:
Create a sense of calm in your movement space
Ensure it is free from objects that could impede your movement
Roll out a mat to lay on so that your spine is protected during movements. You can also lay a towel out over top of a carpeted area.
Have a water bottle nearby
At home dance conditioning circuit:
Print out the document linked below and separate the different pieces OR scroll through the pieces on your device at home.
Use a timer and set it to either 30 sec, 45 sec or 1 minute increments.
You will complete each piece for the amount of time you have allotted.
If the pieces use two different “sides”, switch half way though the time allotment. (Example would be side plank- you would have to complete both sides during the time you have chosen).
There are 25 different exercises and so if you choose to do all 25 for 1 minute increments, this would be a 30 minute movement class for you!
Things to remember:
After any flexion or arching of the spine (swan/swan dive/rocking, double leg kick, single leg kick) please use the rest position or child’s pose.
When doing any work such as (roll overs and jackknife) weight should be evenly distributed on the shoulders and NOT the neck.
