Dance Conditioning Grades

Dance Conditioning

Dance Conditioning Grades Unlock your full potential with our Dance Conditioning grades. Designed to support students in Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary, these classes provide the essential strength and alignment work needed to take your technique to the next level. At Wellington Dance, we help you build a stronger body to support your biggest dreams. If you’d like help finding the perfect class, just contact our friendly team.

Taught by dance physiotherapist Sophie Ryan, there is a focus on biomechanics and alignment as well as better understanding how the dancer’s body works. Dance Conditioning is a one-hour class.
