Ballroom Strength

Full control of the ankle raise, which is widely needed in Ballroom dancing, in everything from Waltz Natural Turns to Samba Whisk Steps.

Full control of one's body weight on one leg, meaning excellent ankle and hip stability as well as leg strength, which are important for long strides forwards and backwards and any figure with a change of weight.

The ability to perform deep lunges in any direction, such as in a Foxtrot Throwaway Oversway and a Tango Same Foot Lunge, as well as in more advanced choreographies in the Latin dances.

A stable and strong posterior chain, which is essential for controlled and athletic movement.

Maintain a long and strong core on all sides, which is needed to stand tall and maintain a strong connection between the upper and lower halves of the body.

A strong frame hold, which is just as strong at the end of the dance as it is at the beginning.

Full shoulder mobility to perform powerful, expressive and graceful arm styling.

Neck mobility and strength to maintain a stable headline, make quick and controlled head movements, like in a Tango Progressive Link, and, for followers in Standard, a strong neck to maintain graceful head positions when projecting.
