@joywomackballet: Just because an exercise makes you more flexible doesn’t mean it’s healthy. 🩰 Every day, I see videos online promising deeper splits, higher extensions, and greater flexibility. But how often do we stop to ask whether these exercises are actually safe, especially for young dancers? As a professional ballerina and teacher, some of the flexibility exercises I see being promoted to children genuinely concern me. Flexibility is important, but without strength, stability, and control, we’re missing a huge part of the picture. That’s why I worked so hard with my team to create Rhythmic Gymnastics for Dancers, a training program designed to help young dancers develop their facility through a more thoughtful, progressive approach. Because the goal isn’t just to become more flexible. It’s to build a strong, healthy body that can support a lifetime of dancing. ❤️ ✨ Comment SPLITS and I’ll send you the link to our full training course! #BalletTraining #DanceEducation #BalletFlexibility #YoungDancers #RhythmicGymnastics
