AGILE BEAST - Whole Body Fitness

What is “fitness training” and how is it useful for dancers, for humans? Join me in locating both dance and fitness-specific training within the broader context of Human Movement. We’ll analyze and refine the strategies and concepts of ‘fitness training’, including: stretching, strength training, “the core”, cardio, high intensity intervals, “naturalistic movement”, balance, and sports.
