ABOUT

Dance has grown tremendously the past few years and we are very thankful for that. As a former competitive dancer our classes were geared towards more flexibility and core work- We rarely focused on pure exercise within our lessons. There has been extensive research done that shows the benefits of exercise for dancers. You will now witness more and more dancers taking strength and conditioning classes, hitting the gym and focusing on strength training to improve their overall physical performance. As a dance instructor, I now educate my students on how important strength exercise is in becoming a strong, successful and safe dancer. 

One of my favorite exercise techniques includes a TRX strap. My first TRX course took place in London in 2018, and I instantly fell in love with it. I took a TRX HIIT class and a TRX Yoga class and I immediately thought this type of training needs to be brought to dancers. TRX is a strength training strap where you’re using your own body weight instead of actual physical weights. The benefits of TRX are boundless. A few main reasons TRX benefits dancers is due to the strong focus on the core, balance improvement, muscle growth and that it has a low risk of injury. Not only will the strap help with muscle growth and balance but it can also aid in deeper flexibility. Every class delivers a full total body workout, which is why TRX is named the Total Body Resistance Exercise. 

To be honest, every dancer should witness the benefits of this specific exercise and that's why I bring you THRIVE X.
