Exercises to Get a Dancer's Legs: Part 1

Want to create strong, long, lean legs? Well, you may like this...

I just put together a series of videos that you can do as a stand alone exercise or combine together for a full leg workout routine. They are all exercises that dancers do on a regular basis. I broke them down into small segments for you. This way you can learn and grow stronger at your own pace.

Here is Part 1: The Dancer's Squat - 2nd Position Plie

This basic exercise is also known as the Wide Stance Squat, but it is a dance position that dancers have been using for years. In the video, I show a few variations on how you can do this; from a  beginner variation with the hands on the hips to the a more advanced cardiovascular variation adding arm movement.

Choose which variation is best for your current fitness level and work toward doing 3 sets of 15 repetitions. Once you are ready, combine it with the other exercises from the series.

I hope you enjoy this series. I'd love your feed back so feel free to post!
