Hi all,
I've joined the Space about 3 weeks ago and I really enjoy the classes. Even though it's fast-paced, the instructors have made it so fun and lifelike with all the commentary. I want to say to all thank you for taking the time to teach virtually!! You've provided an opportunity to learn from instructors we wouldn't otherwise get to learn from due to geographical distances.

Even though I've been working out every day since the lockdown in my area, I've been feeling the quarantine stiffness(not sure if anyone else feels the same way). I've lost my splits from being inside all the time and it's only been 4 months. Is there any way to have a technique/stretching class for those who are working back into dance conditioning? Like a recovery class? I've been good about staying within my limits but it's still frustrating to have lost so much progress. I want to get back to where I was in a safe manner.

Awesome TR, thanks for joining and the kind words. That's a great suggestion and we'll pass it on to our instructors and see what we can do!

Hi TR
Glad you are enjoying the classes! I love your idea and will add this to my list of class ideas:) In the meantime I would try tracking your stretching daily. Maybe go back to one of Autumns stretch classes or the warm up portion of one of my first 2-3 classes and then make a plan to do these everyday for 10-15 minutes. Then change your routine up again the next week or so and really see HOW much stretching you are doing. I would recommend about 70 minutes per week to stay flexible hope this helps:)

I second this post! I'm rediscovering my love of dance in quarantine after a couple of years of retirement due to injury. It's crazy how much I've lost. I feel like I'm basically starting over from scratch. Some more conditioning/flexibility classes would be amazing (especially back flexibility, which was always something i struggled with).

Hey Allison - so great to hear you're re-finding that love of dance. Welcome back..:)
