Welcome to Chloey Turner Wellness!
Possibly one of my favourite passive & active sequences for those hips I’ve done for you 😉 I hope you enjoy it – I think it’ll be one you’ll keep coming back to. Literally working all areas and actions of the hips.

Back to it with those lower legs, finishing up with one of my favourite exercises for inner thigh, hip & ankle mobility.
The glutes – the biggest, most powerful muscle in our body! It’s important to learn to feel them activate.
Let’s activate those hamstrings in a simple way. As dancers, we spend a lot of time stretching the hamstrings, but learning to activate and strengthen them is super important in injury prevention and overall body awareness.
Get your lower body flow done before moving on to activation exercise 2 – Hamstring activation.
Let’s find the Glute Medius muscle and develop strong, stable hips.
Delighted to be covering this Irish dance skill.. We can often see on dancers that leg extending out to glide can turn in from time to time.. Learn how to mobilise and strengthen the muscles involved to prevent this happening and improve this skill overall x
These exercises can be done separately but why not also try them together for a lovely dynamic stretch for those glutes and all round hip mobility.
This stretch opens up those inner thighs (the cross over muscles) whilst also helping out our external rotators (turnout muscles) ohhhh and ankle mobility – So a great all rounder!
A great post dance class cool down.. It can be nice after a vigorous class to walk around a little first to allow the heart rate to come back down before stretching. With me talking the cool-down is a little longer than 5 mins but each stretch is performed for just 30 seconds. No excuses to just run out of class (hehe) Enjoy x
