Dancing

Dance warm-ups are often treated as an afterthought — a few toe touches, some neck rolls, and straight into choreography. We believe that's backwards. The hip flexors, hamstrings, and shoulder girdle that dance demands most are exactly the areas that seize up after a day of sitting, and our audio sessions start there. The warm-up moves through joint-by-joint mobilization in a specific order — ankles, knees, hips, spine, shoulders — before finishing with dynamic movements that mirror the tempo and style of your dance form.

Dancers who started using our app before rehearsals told us they noticed fewer muscle pulls during the first run-through of any new piece, when the body's impulse is to push too hard before it's ready.

One contemporary dancer in our early group said she'd had recurring calf cramps during intense rehearsal blocks for three years. After six weeks of structured warm-ups, they were gone. That's not magic — it's what happens when you stop asking cold tissue to do the work of warm tissue.
