Course outline
About This Ballet Arms Workout Course.
Ever wondered how some dancers have such beautiful arms?
Their arms appear light, soft, and elegant, rather than stiff or wooden.
Achieving soft, graceful arms involves several elements: strong arms, a flexible back, and the ability to move your arms gracefully to mimic swan-like movements.
After this ballet arms workout course, your arms will move beautifully in no time. Small changes make a big difference. Enjoy the course and your newly discovered elegant port de bras!
Ballet Arms Course Breakdown.
Stretching out the arms and back In order to get maximum range of motion in our spine, we need to use our back. If our back and front of chest are stiff it’s going to limit our upper body movement making us look limited and seemingly stiff. These exercises will help open up your back giving you greater range of motion.
Exercises to improve Strength In this lesson we will work on exercises to improve your back and arms strength and tone. Another crucial element of moving freely is having the strong correct muscle activation to make it happen. Here we will create long and lean muscles to do so.
How to move your arms softly like a swan In our final lesson, we will tie it all together and now create soft and elegant ports de bras, implementing Swan arms practice which as you will find is harder than it looks! Enjoy your final lesson, keep implementing the strength and stretch combinations and see the results.
