Mini Loop Warm-up 4, guided by Jenna Roberts, combines strength, articulation, and turnout activation to prepare the body for more complex classwork.
The class begins with Lines in Transition, developing coordination between the upper and lower body while strengthening hip flexors and stabilisers through controlled rolling transitions. It progresses to Triceps with Control, enhancing upper-body and scapular strength to support alignment and postural endurance. Pulses with Band follows, targeting the outer leg and gluteal muscles to improve spinal support and activate the fine stabilisers essential for petit allegro. The sequence finishes with Six with Band, consolidating turnout engagement and rhythmic precision through controlled batterie-style actions.
An effective preparation for classes requiring clarity, articulation, and refined muscular activation.
Tips for Teachers:
Highlight continuous control of the working leg during rolls to promote pelvic stability.
Encourage consistent resistance through the band to build balanced strength.
In Pulses with Band, focus on gluteal activation rather than leg height to prepare for quicker allegro work.
