Why Adult Ballet Dancers Need Slow, Corrective Training
Adult ballet dancers are passionate, disciplined, and committed but many experience recurring aches, compensations, or injuries.
Traditional classes often move too quickly, leaving little time to activate the right muscles, correct long-standing habits, or retrain the body safely.
My Slow Flow Corrective Ballet Barre and strength & mobility conditioning classes are designed specifically for adult dancers to:
Gain range of motion
Prevent injuries
Improve ballet technique
Feel comfortable and confident in class
By moving deliberately and retraining your neural pathways, you can reduce compensations, build long-term strength, and dance with confidence at any age!
Why Injury Prevention Matters for Adult Ballet Dancers
Ballet is beautiful but demanding. Adults can unknowingly reinforce unhealthy patterns like:
Gripping muscles
Sitting in the hips
Forcing turnout
Over time, these patterns can lead to:
Overuse injuries
Muscle imbalances
Plateaued progress
Frustration with technique
Increased fall risk in older dancers
Ballet injury prevention isn’t just stretching or strength work—it’s about slow, mindful training that teaches your body to move safely and efficiently.
What Is a Slow, Corrective Ballet Barre?
A slow corrective ballet barre focuses on quality over speed. Instead of rushing, dancers:
Activate correct muscles (e.g., gluteus medius to prevent dropping in the hip)
Build proper alignment and posture
Eliminate compensations that stress joints
Strengthen technique through mindful repetition
Mobilize restricted areas to improve range of motion
Giving personalized feedback even in a online setting
In our Corrective Adult Ballet Barre, we apply activation exercises directly to barre movements. By moving slowly, dancers learn to carry strength and stability into pliés, tendus, and extensions—creating long-term injury resilience.
Strength & Mobility Conditioning: New Online Sections
In addition to slow barre, I now teach strength and mobility conditioning sessions tailored to adult dancers. These focus on:
Increasing range of motion in hips, spine, and shoulders
Strengthening core, legs, and feet
Reducing compensations and overuse strain
Feeling comfortable and confident during ballet class
Ensuring safety of senior ballet dancers and others who may have post-surgical limitations
These online Zoom sessions are live and interactive, with recordings available so you can practice anytime.

Why Adults of All Levels Benefit
Adult ballet classes often mix beginners, recreational dancers, and former professionals. Moving too quickly can feel overwhelming.
Our Slow Flow Corrective Ballet Barre + Conditioning offers:
No level divide—basics retrained for every body
Injury prevention strategies woven into every class
A judgment-free space to build mastery
Benefits even for advanced dancers or former performers
As a former professional dancer, I still discover compensations I need to retrain—because injury prevention evolves with your body.
