Turn Technicality

College dance teams require athletes to be powerful, precise, and highly durable during intense 3-minute routines. When executing long, complex turn sequences like à la seconde turns or fouettés, muscular endurance is what keeps your technique from breaking down. It allows the calf and ankle of your supporting leg to maintain a high relevé, your hip flexors and abductors to repeatedly whip and hold the working leg without dropping, and your core to keep your axis perfectly upright and balanced through multiple revolutions. 

 The Turn Technicality program builds this specific endurance by progressing through three phases that continuously increase in load, volume, and complexity. It uses high-repetition, targeted exercises like "3-Position Calf Raises" progressing up to 3 sets of 20 reps per leg to build unbreakable relevé stamina. The program also heavily incorporates unilateral functional strength movements like the "SL RDL" and high-rep core stabilizers like "Coppenhagens". Together, these specifically condition the lower body and core to withstand the relentless demands of collegiate dance so you can power through the end of a long turn sequence.
