In general training theory, we speak of strength endurance, hypertrophy and maximum strength cycles. Training units that serve strength endurance and thus the capillarization of the muscles include 12-25 or 20-40 repetitions, depending on the theory. Hypertrophy training includes fewer repetitions, but these are carried out with higher weights.

Maximum strength units are used to activate as many fibers as possible within a muscle and to achieve the maximum amount of strength within the existing muscle size.

The structure of dance training only follows this methodology to a limited extent. In order to meet the artistic demands of ballet, jazz dance, modern dance, etc., current training principles are often neglected and the purely physical/athletic aspects are not trained according to the latest findings: "One fondu en croix" is enough for coordination, but not for fitness. At the same time, common workouts do not meet the requirements of dancers:

“Higher legs” do not come from push-ups and burpees.

"Dancer's Workout" closes this gap in the training catalogue. The stomach, legs, bottom, back and feet are strengthened. Particular attention is paid to building up strength in the hip flexors and maintaining the possible external rotation from the hip joint. Each training unit is rounded off with a detailed stretch.
