12m
We received several requests for a workout that focuses on staying off your heels, so here it is! Many dancers struggle with elevation and keeping high on their toes, so we seek to show that using some of the pillars of Pilates can help out quite a bit! In this workout, we'll use a series of classical Pilates exercises as well as general fitness moves to foucs on leg strength, calf engagement, footwork and, naturally, we'll learn that core work will also play an important role in helping you stay on your toes!
Level: All Levels
What You Need: No Equipment Needed
