The Focused Flexibility class is key to many aerial and dance techniques. Its importance ranges from being as simple as stretching a muscle to prevent an injury or as integral as allowing the athlete to complete a movement he or she could not do otherwise. Stretching with proper techniques can improve athletic techniques, prevent injury, and reduce pain as well as improve mobility and decrease stress.
Tight muscles lead to injury in aerial and dance. It is important to stretch integral muscles so that they can perform their duties efficiently and without strain. Many aerial and dance techniques rely on more extreme flexibility. These moves require more than a few minutes of stretching before practice. They require a focused stretching routine formulated to improve flexibility in specific parts of the body.
