Top Tips

  • It's a good idea to go for a 10 minute run beforehand, to get your body warmed up for movement and your heart rate up.
  • Start from the head and work downwards.
  • Know your limites and be careful not to overstretch. You want to warm up, not tire yourself out or injure yourself before dancing.
