Course outline
About this course.
No time? No excuses.
Workouts in Ten is a results-driven series of 10 powerful workouts, each designed to fit into just 10–15 minutes of your day. Whether you’re working toward stronger turnout, deeper flexibility, greater stamina, or overall strength, this course removes the biggest obstacle standing in your way — time.
Each session is focused, efficient, and intentional. You press play, follow along, and get it done. No overthinking. No wasted minutes. Just smart programming that builds real progress.
This isn’t about squeezing in random movement. It’s about building consistent habits that compound. Ten minutes a day may seem small — but done consistently, it transforms your body and your discipline.
If your schedule is full but your goals are bigger, this is your solution.
Show up. Press play. Build the habit. Get stronger.
workout breakdown.
Build stronger, more supported turnout in just 10 minutes. This class targets the deep external rotators, inner thighs, and glutes to help you access and hold your turnout safely. Expect controlled, precise movements designed to improve stability, strength, and awareness — so your turnout doesn’t just look better, it feels stronger.
A focused core session that goes beyond crunches. This class strengthens deep abdominal muscles, obliques, and lower back support to improve balance, control, and overall power. In just 10–15 minutes, you’ll build the kind of core strength that supports turns, extensions, and endurance.
All the precision of barre — without the barre. This floor-based class improves alignment, turnout control, and muscle activation while removing pressure from the joints. It’s controlled, technical, and incredibly effective for refining strength and placement.
.
Posture, port de bras, and upper body strength — handled. This class strengthens the upper back, shoulders, and arms to improve carriage and control. You’ll build elegant strength without bulk, creating support for lifts, lines, and long rehearsals.
Strong feet, stable ankles, powerful jumps. This class focuses on strengthening and mobilizing the calves and ankles to improve balance, pointe work, and landing control. Small muscles, big impact.
This class is slighlty longer but covers everything you need for a class warm up.
Set the tone for your class This dynamic warm-up prepares your muscles, joints, and mind for movement with intentional exercises.
Stronger glutes mean stronger movement. This targeted class activates and builds the glute muscles to improve stability, power, and turnout support. Expect controlled burn, smart sequencing, and results that translate directly into jumps, balances, and extensions.
Short. Sharp. Effective. This quick cardio session boosts stamina and endurance without long, draining workouts. Expect elevated heart rate, efficient intervals, and a serious energy reset — all in 10–15 minutes.
Recovery isn’t optional — it’s strategic. This class focuses on mobility, gentle release work, and controlled movement to reduce soreness and improve range of motion. Perfect for in-between rehearsals or after intense training days.

The primary goal of this plan is to develop and enhance technique by promoting progress in areas such as turnout, extensions, arabesque lines, foot strength, and pirouettes. Additionally, it aims to support the physical and mental well-being of dancers throughout the school term. Instead of focusing on intensity, the strategy emphasizes intelligent strength training and mobility. Each day targets a specific area of focus, allowing different muscle groups to rest and recover while engaging others.

Level 1: Foundation & Mobility (Weeks 1–3)
This level is about waking up the body and preparing it for deeper flexibility.
You’ll focus on:
Gentle mobility drills for hips, hamstrings, and hip flexors
Myofascial release techniques to reduce tension
Introductory stretches with proper alignment
Perfect for complete beginners or anyone returning to stretching after a break. The key here is consistency — showing up and giving your body time to adapt.
Level 2: Active flexibility & Control (Weeks 4-6)
Now that your body is primed, we begin working on active flexibility and control.
You’ll focus on:
Longer hold times in foundational stretches
Chair- and block-assisted drills for depth and support
Active engagement of glutes, core, and legs to create true flexibility. Strengthening supporting muscles around the hips and pelvis. Dynamic stretches to build range and coordination
This level bridges the gap between flexibility and functional mobility — helping you go deeper with control, not force.
Level 3: Find your full range (Weeks 7-9)
You’ve done the groundwork — now it’s time to commit to your full range.
You’ll focus on: Combining mobility, strength, and alignment in full split practice. Holding deeper splits with the aid of props (chair, blocks, wall)
Exploring full range in front and middle splits
Flow-style sessions to connect and challenge your flexibility
Learning your new go-to splits maintenance routine
This level is about owning your flexibility. Whether you’re fully flat or still a few inches away, you’ll come out of this with a strong, safe, and sustainable practice to carry forward.
