Ballet Conditioning Class by Janice Barringer is for your intermediate to advanced ballet students. While a thorough ballet class, especially the barre exercises, strengthens, stretches, trains, and conditions the body for all types of movement, recent contemporary/ballet choreography has been pushing the body further than required. Because of this new demand for stronger and more flexible bodies, most prominent ballet companies and schools have added “Conditioning Classes” to their schedules.

Janice Barringer has culled some of the most effective and popular exercises from New York schools and companies (including some yoga) and put them into her “Conditioning Class for Ballet.” The class consists of exercises for the neck, head, upper spine, feet, ankles, and back. Naturally, there is a big focus on strengthening the core muscles. After mastering these exercises, students should find traditional ballet classes much more rewarding and exciting, as their bodies will quickly accept the difficult turned-out positions and challenging steps.
