Conditioning for dance: training for peak performance in all dance forms.
Author: Franklin, Eric Published: 2003 Conditioning for dance improves the dancer's technique and performance in all dance forms by strengthening the body's core while improving co-ordination, balance, alignment, and flexibility. The result is more lift without tension, deeper pliés, higher jumps with less effort, tighter turns, and improved extension and turn-out. Conditioning for dance features 170 illustrations paired with 160 dance-specific exercises to help maximise body-mind conditioning, and the book culminates with a 20 minute full body workout routine designed to help the dancer warm up, condition, and refine technique. |
