🧠 Did you know?
Dancers live in extension — arabesques, cambres, port de bras... it’s all about the backbend.
But too much extension without balance can lead to back pain, instability, and overuse injuries.
That’s why core work that prioritizes flexion (like curl-ups, dead bugs, and hollow holds) is so essential.
✨ It strengthens the deep stabilizers that protect the spine
✨ Balances out all the arch-heavy movement dancers do
✨ Improves control, alignment, and injury resilience
➡️ Flexion and neutral core exercises are key to balancing out all that extension work. They help create a strong, supported center so you can move freely without overload.
If you want more strength and more freedom in your dancing, don’t skip the flexion work — it’s the support system your back is begging for. 🙌
