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.

How should you incentivize your dancers?

Dance classes can be an extremely rewarding  extra-curricular  recreational activity. However, in many classes it is evident that many dancers do not have the energy or the discipline to focus as much as they need to in order to truly accomplish their goals.  Many parents and students are paying for dance classes with an end goal in mind for their children and themselves. Some intend to make a high school or college team, some intend to simply improve on their skills from last year, some wish to win competitions.
