We are your in house team, a resource that only the top programs in the world offer to give your studio an edge over others.
Review the information below to find out which track is the right one for you. You can also watch this video that walks you through the options.
Once you have chosen your track you can submit the form at the bottom of this page. Select one and only one option, please.
If you have access to equipment such as free weights, any cardio equipment (rower, stairs, treadmill, bike, etc.), and other things common in a fitness center, “Group 1” is for you!
If you’re primarily doing this at home, with resistance bands (though a few small weights can easily be added if you have them), but still can use stairs, bike, run, or have some cardio equipment access, select “Group 2”
Lastly, If you don’t like to run, and don’t have access to any cardio (no stairs, bikes, or lap pools) then the last option is for you! “Group 3”
This program is made specifically for the demands of male dancers, taking into account some extra work for upper body to support partnering, extra stability for the lower back, etc. This option is similar to group 1 in terms of equipment need.
No track is better than the other, you will get results regardless. You can find more information about the equipment requirements for each track by scrolling down.
