Her stillness hums with quiet rage, a body rewritten on discipline’s page. No limits exist, only the will to stay— a storm contained in perfect ballet.

Stretching is the key to improving yourself as a dancer. The benefits of stretching include increased flexibility, stronger technique, improved lines and body-awareness, as well as advanced discipline. No matter how hectic your rehearsal schedule may be, always remember to stretch in order to avoid any unnecessary injuries. It is imperative that those muscles are stretched and warm before executing movements and pushing yourself to the necessary limits which requires pliable muscles. To increase flexibility dancers should also stretch after practise. Stretching after a dance session is beneficial as your muscles are warm and you will be able to get further in your stretch. This will help improve your flexibility.
