Cross Training & Conditioning Classes
It is vital to the athletic development and safety of dancers to train in ways that are different than traditional dance training. Consistent participation in cross training and conditioning activities allows the body to recover from the repetitive motions of dance while improving the essential components that prepare dancers for a success on stage.
Charlotte Dance Medicine offers two cross training & conditioning small group classes (up to 4 dancers per class) with Package and Drop-in options.
