Improving performance comes from consistently practicing controlled movements. Fast does not mean better, and lack of control during dance makes injury risk higher.

Looking for better control in extension, pirouettes, and quality of movement?
Balance depends on the strength and coordination of the ankle, knee, hip, and core. They all have to work together to create smooth and controlled movement during athletic movements.
Training to improve balance should include more than just one joint. Try these exercises out!
Top exercise: standing single leg hip external rotation with a band.
Bottom exercise: single leg squat on a bosu ball with a band around the ankle to create extra instability and a kettlebell for increased resistance.
Elite athletes from college players all the way to the NBA understand that playing at the highest level isn’t just about basketball training…a huge part includes fine tuning your body as a whole to be able to prevent injury, recover from injuries, and ultimately perform at a higher clip…because at the highest level, how you take care of your body directly determines how long—and how well—you can compete.💯

Let’s fire up those glutes!
Why are strong glutes important? Strong glutes help to stabilize and control athletic movement, especially with any movement on a single leg and jumping. This helps you perform better and also reduces the risk of injuries to your knee and ankle.
1. Captain Morgans: Strong glute activation from the leg you are standing onto push the other leg into the wall, then adding the dynamic stability of the hip hinge while maintaining muscle activation.
2. Anti-Valgus Reverse Slide: The stance leg maintains stability against the inward pull of the anchored band pulling on the leg that is sliding. Holding the band with your arms away from your body activates the posterior kinetic chain.
3. DNS Star: Reciprocal movement of the limbs to help promote motor control of the glute med during movement. This one burns when you do it right.
4. Isometric Bear Hold with Fire Hydrant: Pick up your knees from the floor and kick out to the side. Works as a glute burner and core stabilizer exercise.
5. Side Plank with Row and Clamshell Isometric: Activation of the posterior kinetic chain while maintaining stability. Targets obliques and glute med as well as scapular stabilizers
Let’s talk about planks!
Planks are a foundation for stability, alignment, and endurance.
For athletes proper form means better control, safer movement, and more power during your most important moments.
