Toe Height + Ankle Mobility [All Levels]
Legs + Glutes Workouts • 13m
This workout focuses on the mechanics of toe height - an important aspect of proper Irish dance technique. We'll use a combination of shoulder bridges, glute activation exercises and ankle mobility tools to target the muscles which help us stay lifted on our toes while dancing. There might be a few arm exercises added into the mix! We'll also, of course, use the Pilates principles of centering, control and precision in order to flow gracefully through each challenging exercise. Enjoy your workout!
