Reduces Muscle Tension | Project Beats

Strength and Flexibility

Why is stretching important in dance? Stretching helps increase range of motion, reduces muscle tension, and helps decrease the risk of activity-based injuries. Stretching after exercising is great because it can help decrease muscle soreness. You are also able to gain greater flexibility once your body is warm.

What is static stretching versus dynamic stretching?

Static stretching is used to stretch muscles while the body is at rest. a stretch is held in a challenging but comfortable position for a period of time, usually somewhere between 10 to 30 seconds Dynamic stretching: means your body is still continuously moving, even while stretching. The purpose of warming up is to prepare your muscles. You need to increase your muscles core temperature and dynamic stretching can accomplish this.

What are some good exercises to build strength for dance?

4 rounds, 30sec each. 1min rest between

Burpees
Plank
Jump Squats
Push Ups
Jump Lunges
Side Plank – Left
Side Plank – Right

As dancers are required to perform repeated explosive polymetric movements, you could start with some of these basic exercises

Why is physical strength important for dancers?

Physical strength is the foundation to all dynamic movements. Having good core muscles stabilize the spine, trunk and pelvis, which help prevent injury and allows you to execute your moves to their full potential.

It’s been more than 2 years since I first started taking hip hop lessons at this dance school and there’s a reason that even though I was unable to take classes continuously, I kept coming back whenever I could! The teachers are all so friendly and supportive and the student community are incredibly kind and it is so easy to make friends. There’s no better place to start if you’re interested in hip hop or dance – whether you’re 6 or 60!

Joining PB is one of the best things I did in my life and also for my daughter’s. Both of us enjoy dancing a lot and PB is a perfect place for it. All the instructors are extremely supportive, inspirational, and professional. PB has taught my daughter and me more than just dance. Basically the important aspects in life like how important it is to be kind, helpful, and supportive, etc. Long story short, PB is the BEST Hip Hop School for anyone at any age!!! I highly highly recommend any parents to send their kids to PB because it is a great and safe environment for them to be in away from home, and school. Thank you Chip (The Director) and all PB instructors and students for making PB an AMAZING place to be in!!

Project Beats the place to be for Street Dance (HipHop, Breaking, Popping Locking, House, Waaking)

They are the real deal. Teaching foundation, groove and about the true Street Dance Culture!

They have very experienced and friendly teachers, that have clearly honed their skills and their results speak for themselves.

From the second you walk in you can feel the authenticity, sense of community and care they have for their students.

Classes Range from Kids through to Adults!

I love being a student at Project Beats cause it teaches you foundation moves whilst you learn a routine. Our director Chippy along with the instructors and students have created an environment that is very friendly where even if you don’t know anyone or don’t talk to many people your always welcomed and encouraged to be your best. I 100% stand by my decision to give classes a try. If your unsure about learning hip-hop or street dance styles come to project beats and give one of the many classes on offer a go and you might end up leaving the studio at the end of your class having signed up to be a student. I 10/10 recommend coming and joins our ever growing family.

Came to Australia not having any friends at all and then decided to join PB. Was the best thing I did! Found many good friends and learned so much in a really short time. The instructors also really motivated me to stick to dancing and never give up no matter how frustrated I am about not getting some moves right. In conclusion: I definitely can recommend PB to everybody who wants to dance in a great environment with great people 😊

Why is good nutrition important for dance? To perform at their best, dancers need to be well-fueled (i.e. they need to eat the right balance of carbohydrate, fat, protein, micro nutrients, and fluids).
