Staying active and in good shape helps you move more freely and lowers the risk of getting hurt while dancing. Even if you’re not dancing professionally, keeping your body strong and healthy makes a big difference in the feeling of dancing and the pleasure of expressing yourself

We’ll mix simple science with hands-on practice to explore how regular physical activity supports your dancing and overall well-being. You don’t need to be a pro—this session is for anyone who loves to dance and wants to take care of their body.

We’ll explore:

• Easy, targeted exercises for dancers at all levels.

• How basic fitness can help you dance with more confidence and move forward effectively.

• How to manage personalised, efficient training over the long term.
