The Mike George Fitness System introduces Power Ballet, a new fitness program.
H'mm, Power Ballet? That's catchy. Are there any health benefits from dancing?
Well, Power Ballet does have some significant health benefits regardless of a person's age and dance experience. With proper instruction and practice, muscular strength and stamina is increased. Reflexes are also greatly improved.
All movement in ballet dance is based on proper alignment of the body and the development of strength of one's core muscles. Coordination, balance, agility and the increase in bone density are also documented benefits of the study of ballet.
Well Newbies, the structure of the ballet session focuses on alignment and terminology. Stability movements, proper weight transfer and coordination of compound movements will be emphasized. As the student progresses, more advanced elements will be added and the intensity of the workout program will progress accordingly.
One note on attire. Form fitting clothing is ideal, so that alignment and postural corrections can be easily recognized and applied. Although socks are acceptable, the dancer is encouraged to wear soft ballet shoes. Hair should be off the back of the neck and jewelry kept to a minimum.
Simply stop at the Front Desk to schedule a session.
