As we delve deeper into dance, we realize the importance of having strong, flexible bodies. Strong muscles, flexibility, and stamina are key for injury prevention, quick muscle recovery, and mastering challenging moves while maintaining a cool, effortless look. Our classes combine HIIT for kids, core control, balance exercises, and intensive stretching and recovery. Each class begins with a cardio combo to get our hearts pumping and clear away mental fog. We then dive into a 10 to 15-minute HIIT session, pushing our bodies to strengthen muscles and boost cardiovascular endurance. We transition to controlled strength training and focus on flexibility and conditioning during our stretches. These classes are a valuable addition to any Move Monkeys' schedule, ensuring that their foundational strength, stamina, and flexibility won't limit their performance in other classes and shows. Our aim is to create Strong Move Monkeys!
