Welcome!


This course is intended to provide information on stretching, more formally known as flexibility training. It will discuss briefly the different types of stretching, along with their advantages and their disadvantages. It will also provide practical applications to the dancer: when to stretch, how often to stretch, which tissues to stretch, as well as information on age and gender differences. Dancers enrolled in the course will also receive feedback from the instructor.


 

So, you've accepted the fact that you're not the most flexible... and that getting flexible is hard. But, you also know that flexibility is an important physical advantage, if not a necessity, for a professional dancer. Now, what are you going to do about it?

Dance, and in particular ballet, is characterized by beautiful body shapes and lines, much of which are due to flexibility. Without adequate flexibility, dancers are unlikely to raise themselves to professional standards.

 

Avoid getting injured by stretching the right way!

“Arsen’s stretch class made me understand the correct body placement for ballet better, which I can apply in ballet class.”

- Yuri N

"Stretch and conditioning class with Arsen is such an incredible class because you’re able to make real gains in your flexibility while strengthening all over. Arsen is very knowledgeable about anatomy and works with each person individually to help everyone no matter where they are in their athletic progress, be it conditioning, core strength or flexibility—and whatever you may personally be working on and want to get out of the class. I love feeling pushed to really work hard and push through the pain, which is when you actually get more flexible!"
