Why does strength training matter for dancers?
Because stronger dancers are often:
✅ More resilient to injury
✅ More powerful
✅ More controlled in landing
✅ Better able to tolerate training loads
In this reel I’m focusing on:
1️⃣ Pogos → calf & tendon stiffness
2️⃣ Single-leg RDLs → hip control & balance
3
3️⃣ Side planks → trunk stability and force transfer
4
4️⃣ Single leg heel drops → Achilles and calf capacity
Irish dancing is more than flexibility and technique 👣
