For Dancers

Dancers are required to be both artists and athletes; they must be able to physically withstand the demands of their art. While dancers take technique classes to hone their artistry, the traditions from which these classes spring put very little emphasis on training the fitness needs of the dancing body. Dancers are expected to maintain top physical fitness in all areas: strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, power, and body composition. Yet few classes are able to focus on all of these aspects while also training for artistry. This places dancers at risk for injury and limits their potential for development. For these reasons, dancers must supplement their training with physical conditioning.
