Episode 94: A Better Way to Teach Flexibility for Dancers


Listen Later

There has (once again?) been a proliferation of posts on social media glorifying unsafe and extreme stretching practices. In this podcast episode I unpack why I think that is, and what we can do to address it.

Traditional flexibility programs for dancers often only focus on passive stretching. In this episode you'll learn my 5-pronged approach to designing a flexibility program which will not only benefit more of your dancers, but do so in a safe way that won't risk injury.
