When Stretching DOESN'T Work

You've probably heard it countless times: stretching is the key to flexibility. So why, after endless hours of stretching routines, are your dancers still struggling to reach their goals?

I get it. It’s incredibly frustrating to see your dancers putting in the effort without the results they deserve.

And you’re not alone—many dancers and their instructors feel this same sense of helplessness.

Here’s the truth: stretching alone isn’t the answer. Flexibility relies on the body’s ability to feel safe, strong and stable. Without addressing underlying weaknesses or instabilities first, stretching is like trying to fix a leaky roof without patching the holes.

What you need are simple techniques to improve stability to allow the mobility your dancer is seeking. That's exactly what you'll learn in this workshop!

Join Dr. Alexis of AZ Dance Med as she teaches you the factors that could be keeping your dancer from achieving their flexibility goals, aside from the typical muscle and joint restrictions.

Learn how asking simple questions like these can help increase your dancers' flexibility. :

Did you just get your braces tightened?
Is your stomach upset?
Do you get extra dizzy during turns?

We'll review common restriction patterns, easy exercises, and when to seek additional help, all to help your dancers reach their maximal flexibility potential.
