MuvMethod

MuvMethod is a new form of flexibility training emerging from Salt Lake City, Utah. It is a yoga-based system designed to release muscular and fascial tension, while improving strength, balance, alignment, posture, and flexibility. MuvMethod offers an online program, weekly classes, and Flexibility Trainings.
The MuvMethod website displays testimonials from a variety of different dance instructors and studio owners who have implemented in the system into their dance curriculum. Ultimately, users seem to agree on one thing, they have seen a huge improvement in flexibility, strength, and body awareness.
As a studio owner there are several different options if you wish to implement the MuvMethod program into your institution. You can choose weekly classes, with onsite customized programs designed to fit within your existing curriculum. Or, you can send an instructor or multiple instructors to get MuvMethod certified and bring the practice back to your studio.
As an individual instructor, if your studio is not interested in participating in MuvMethod’s programs, you can take Flexibility training sessions to become a certified instructor. You can then implement the program’s techniques into your own classes. There is also an offline program that you can purchase in order to improve your own flexibility and strength. 

Although there are many different theories in flexibility and strength training, it is important to know that not all dancer bodies are the same. Each instructor should implement a program or system that fits best with your students and be able to adapt if needed.

The Secret Message

Is there a secret message to make all your dancers turn like Sophia Lucia? Sorry, I don't think so. However, reminders that build muscle memory are the key to having consistently strong turners. Below are bullet points to remind your dancers of every class as to what to think of while turning. One of my favorite tactics is asking my class what they need to think about while they are turning. My dancers will raise their hands and we won't stop until all of the bullet points have been checked off. High relevé Straight supporting knee High passé Shoulders down (out) Strong spot (spot your own eyeballs or a point in the room) Strong arms (like holding oranges under your armpits) Utilizing your closing arm In second turns, turning out both your supporting leg and your working leg Closing into a high, strong croisé and not swinging your leg Leading with your heel and not gripping your turnout muscles Not dropping your heel too hard in second turns or fouettes Pulling
