Looking for easy workouts for dancers? If you want to dance stronger, become more flexible, and have more control, then you need to condition your body properly.

Strength & Conditioning Coach and Dancer Karl Flores recommends these 5 exercises as the perfect, full-body workout plan for dancers!

1. To dance stronger and faster:

Burpees

3 sets of 6 with 90 seconds rest

Targeted areas: arms, chest, quads, glutes, hamstrings, core.

This high-intensity exercise is a great warmup because it works out your entire body!

2. To increase your stamina:

Cardio

15 minutes a day

Stop being out of breath in class or when you freestyle!

Build up your stamina to be able to dance all night.

Tips: Jump rope, jog, swim, or DANCE!

3. To dance stronger:

Squats

3 sets of 10

This builds muscle in our entire body. You'll have stronger foundation in your legs, and be able to hit moves harder.

Tip: Start with just your body weight, then slowly add weights!

4. For easier hip and leg movements

Glute Bridges

3 sets of 12

Targeted areas: glutes, hamstrings, core.

Glute bridges will increase your turnout by targeting your hips, and make all your leg movements look stronger.

5. To improve coordination

Skaters

3 sets of 30 seconds

These will strengthen your glutes and improve stability. Skaters help with balance and posture, making your movements look smooth and effortless.
