7m 46s
Celticore featured instructor Moira Ragen leads us through a splendid ballet-inspired back & arms-focused workout.
The focus here will be to help control our upper body and move with grace and ease, using principles of ballet and modern dance. Many top Irish dancers have training in other styles of dance, including World Champion & Celticore Ambassador Saoirse Deboy, so we feel that this type of workout is an important part of cross-training for Irish dancers. It can also be a whole lot of fun!
Level: All Levels
What You Need: No Equipment Needed
Exercise Credit: Ballet & Modern Dance
*Injury Prevention: Use caution if you have any neck/shoulder injury.*
