Yoga Flow - Stretch and Strengthen - $30/Dancer (3 - 1 hour classes)
*minimum 6 kids per camp
It is so important for dancers to learn to stretch and strengthen their bodies appropriately in order to stay flexible and prevent injury. Yoga is a fun way to do both of those things. In this series we will move through traditional poses, new strengthening exercises, and even some partner yoga to stay limber and ready to move. Dancers will leave with a workout plan they can use outside of the studio to help improve their technique, flexibility, and strength.
