Event
David C. Owen Flexibility Training (All Levels) at the Minnesota Regional Pole Competitions
Along with increased flexibility comes increased freedom of movement for movement artists and athletes. The more flexible one becomes, the greater number of skills one becomes capable of, and the more one begins to generate beautiful and awe-worthy lines and postures. All pole dancers covet increased flexibility, and in this workshop, David will teach the methods that he uses in his own flexibility training.
Dancers will receive an introduction to back-bending and learn how to make the spine more pliable while also opening the hips. Following this, David will teach you how to perform the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (or PNF) method on yourself to help safely and quickly see increases in muscular flexibility to help develop beautiful extensions and splits. Some partner-based stretching techniques will also be explained and demonstrated.
Following this, some techniques for performing flexibility-based poses on the pole will be discussed and practiced. Students will need a block and strap to assist exercises done in this class (blocks and straps provided if student does not have one).
