SPORTS COACHING

Use Dance for Strength Training and Flexibility Training

Dance is a beautiful artform that is enjoyable to practice, fascinating to watch, and exciting to learn. Dance is an artistic expression for many people, and acts as an outlet to blow off some steam and relax after a long day. For children, dance is a perfect way to meet friends, grow a love for the arts, and get some great exercise too. Aside from the social and health aspects, dance is a great opportunity for students to receive sports coaching. While dance is an untraditional sport, the sports coaching involved is similar to other team sports. Students will get to learn and appreciate hard work, perseverance, and practice. A dedicated coach, provided through Progressive Dance Online, will help with corrections, and encouragement, to help you or your child get the most out of his or her lesson. Sports coaching is able to teach students valuable lessons that can be applied to many aspects of day to day life. Skills and techniques learned from a sport can be applied to education, the workforce, or future endeavors.

 

While dance is beautiful to watch, it is very difficult to perform. There is an incredible amount of technique, balance, and muscle control required in order to successfully dance and move. Using dance to help improve other sports or aspects of your life is a great, and fun, idea. Dance can be used to help with flexibility training. Many aspects of dance require incredibly soft and supple muscles and tendons that require regular stretching and exercise in order to increase flexibility. By implementing dance techniques into your flexibility training, you will be able to lengthen and stretch muscles that otherwise may be left untouched with traditional sports. Your flexibility training is a great way to not only increase your athletic ability, but can also be used for injury prevention. If soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments are free to stretch, rather than tear, you can prevent future injuries. Trust the team at Progressive Dance Online to help with your flexibility training and create a customized flexibility regimen to help you achieve your goals.

 

Further, dance can be used to help improve your overall strength. For dancers, improving your strength is pivotal to success. Improved strength will not only allow you to perform new skills, but will allow you to perform your current skills with more control and artistry. Strength is vitally important when it comes to dancing. Many people will turn to dance as a means for strength training. Whether you are playing a different sport, or simply want to get stronger through an activity or hobby, dance can provide endless opportunities for strength training. Not only will you be able to get stronger through dance, but strength training is another way to help with injury prevention and rehabilitation. If you have suffered an injury, ensuring the related muscles surrounding the injury are strong can be a great way to help support the injury and give it a chance to heal. Further, strong muscles can help prevent a future injury from forming by giving your body the strength and support it needs to be able to move and function injury free. The team at Progressive Dance Online is happy to discuss your strength goals with you and work together to come up with a customized plan. We treat each person like the individual he or she is, and we are eager to create a customized strength training program through dance for our clients.
