Question 1

What is physical preparation for dancers and how does it differ from the gym?

Accepted Answer

It's specific training designed for dancer needs: explosive strength for jumps, core for turns, active flexibility, endurance for choreographies and injury prevention. Unlike conventional gym, every exercise has direct application in dance.

Question 2

Do I need previous experience in physical training?

Accepted Answer

No. Classes are adapted to all levels. If you dance, you already have the foundation. We teach you correct technique for each exercise from scratch and progress according to your current fitness level.

Question 3

How many times per week should I train physical preparation if I already take dance classes?

Accepted Answer

Ideal: 2-3 weekly sessions of 45-60 minutes. If you dance 4-5 times per week, 2 physical preparation sessions are enough to see significant improvements in strength, flexibility and injury prevention.

Question 4

Will physical preparation help me prevent injuries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We strengthen vulnerable areas (ankles, knees, hips, lower back), correct muscle imbalances, improve proprioception and teach safe movement patterns. You drastically reduce the risk of common injuries.

Question 5

Will I gain a lot of muscle volume with this training?

Accepted Answer

No. Training is designed to develop functional strength, explosiveness and muscular endurance without excessive hypertrophy. You get a strong, agile and aesthetic body, perfect for dancing.

Question 6

Can I improve my flexibility with physical preparation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We include specific flexibility sessions with active stretching, PNF, joint mobility and range of motion exercises. Many students achieve splits and extensions they didn't have before.

Question 7

Will this training help me jump higher and turn better?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work on explosive leg strength for jumps, core and stability for controlled turns, and proprioception for balance. You'll see direct improvements in your dance technique.

Question 8

What clothing and footwear do I need for physical preparation classes?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable sportswear (leggings, technical t-shirt) and training shoes with good cushioning. For flexibility exercises, many prefer to train barefoot or with non-slip socks.

Question 9

Can I combine physical preparation with my dance classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, highly recommended. Physical preparation complements your dance training: improves technical performance, prevents injuries and accelerates your progress. Many dancers combine 3-4 dance classes + 2 physical preparation weekly.
