Toe Height + Ankle Mobility [All Levels]

Core Boost for Irish Dancers [10-Workout Pack] • 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!

Level: All Levels
What You Need: Mat
Exercise Credit: Classical Pilates, Fuse Pilates

*Injury Prevention: Do not participate if you have any shoulder, neck, back or leg injury. Listen to your body and discontinue should you feel any pain or discomfort.*
