FLIGHT SCHOOL

Enroll Description

FLIGHT SCHOOL is our new high intensity ballet cardio strength workout and it has replaced our REALIGN program.

BALLET BODIES ARE NOT MADE AT "THE BARRE"
Contrary to popular belief "barre work" is not the key to the ballerina's long lean physique. At ALIGN we don't care what you look like but we would like to set the scientific record straight that the key element in developing ballerina legs is BALLETIC JUMPING. Explosive power movement is the primary way a dancer will develop "TYPE 2 MUSCLE FIBER". Type 2 fiber is made of long lean muscle tissue spindles. Type 2 creates density without bulk. Explosive movement is a primary aspect of the Flight School program design. With the intensity of a spin class with the elegance of barre Flight School is fun, dynamic, challenging, and fresh. If you're bored with your old barre class come see us and take it to a higher level.

MODIFIED INTENSITY
We encourage our students to start slowly and take it at their own pace. JUMPING IS OPTIONAL and this workout can be performed with very little impact.
