One thing I’ve come to appreciate more and more when training dancers: isometrics.
They’re definitely not the most exciting exercises to do, but they can be incredibly effective.
Holding a position under tension builds strength and control exactly where you need it. That can translate to better balance, more stability, and greater ownership of your movement.
Sometimes the exercises that look the simplest end up being the most valuable.

Save this for your next training session 🤍 and follow for more dancer-focused strength & performance tips.

If I knew then what I know now... 🧑🏽‍🩰✨🏋🏾‍♀️
…supplemental strength training isn’t just for traditional athletes, it’s the secret sauce for longevity, power and injury prevention in every dance style.
The dance world is only just beginning to have this conversation and I’m glad it finally is.

Give your younger self (or your current self!) the gift of a strong foundation. It changes everything.

If you’re a dancer who wants to understand how strength training fits into your practice, stick around. This is exactly what I talk about here. 🖤

Of course you still need to drill turns (no matter your dance style). But you can get there faster, smarter and with far less frustration if you first build the foundation that makes a turn even possible in the first place.

Here’s what I mean:
Double Instability Plank Turning:
is a core and control problem as much as it is a technique problem. If you can master a plank on a BOSU with your feet on a stability ball — full body tension, nothing collapsing — you are already ahead of most dancers in the room. This is the ultimate full body control test.

Banded Lunge to Passé:
Ever heard your teacher say the leg from prep to retiré has to get there fast, directly into position? That’s exactly what this trains. Explosive, reactive power. The ability to shift from two legs to one and find your centre instantly.

BOSU DB Circles to RDL:
Hello ankle stability. Hello reaction test. This is your body learning to micro-adjust in real time exactly what happens every single time you land or balance on one leg. Your ankles are constantly working.

Train the body behind the turn. The turn will follow.

When a turn falls apart, we usually blame our preparation or our spot.
And yes! those matter. Obviously. 😅 But if your body doesn’t have the baseline conditioning to support the physics of a turn, technique can only take you so far.

Here are the 3 things that are probably sabotaging your turns:

1. Standing leg strength — If your supporting leg can’t hold your entire bodyweight under pressure, you’re going to drop before you even finish the turn.

2. Ankle stability — A shaky ankle throws off your balance before the turn even starts. It’s subtle, but it’s deadly. 💀

3. Core control — Your centre is the glue. The moment it switches off, your alignment breaks and your axis goes with it.

Fix the physical gaps first. The technique will follow.

Looking back at this video, there is so much I want to tell that younger version of myself. If you’re a dancer going through it right now, these are the three things I need you to hear:
1. Your path won’t look like everyone else’s (and that is a good thing). 👈🏾
Studying dance doesn’t automatically mean your only option is joining a dance company. The industry is massive and your skills can take you in so many different directions. Trust the process, it is going to work out fine for you eventually.

2. Protect your peace and stay true to yourself.👈🏾
You are going to cross paths with teachers and choreographers you just don’t get along with and that is completely okay. Take them as lessons, but never let anyone talk down to you or convince you that you aren’t good enough. Your worth is non-negotiable.
3. Your body is a dancer’s body. 👈🏾
Humans and dancers come in absolutely all shapes and sizes. You do not need to be the skinniest person in the room to be considered talented, successful or worthy.

If I could go back, I’d tell myself to breathe, enjoy the movement and trust my own voice. ❤️

More dancing isn’t always the answer…
If you’re experiencing these three signs, your body isn’t asking for another class, it’s asking for structured strength.
1️⃣ Recurring Injuries: If you’re trapped in a cycle of getting hurt or that same injury keeps coming back, your muscles aren’t conditioned to handle the load.
2️⃣ Imbalances: We all have a „favorite“ side, but if one side is noticeably weaker and less stable, you’re playing a dangerous game of compensation.
3️⃣ Recovery Times: If you’re still completely exhausted and sore two days after a standard rehearsal, your baseline stamina needs a serious upgrade.
Dancers are elite athletes… so treat your body with respect.
