Tone and Flex is a body conditioning class taught by an ex-professional ballet dancer, Yuka Kodama-Pomfret.   Yuka’s method is strongly rooted in Russian ballet, and her over thirty years of knowledge and experience are applied in her teaching.   The Tone and Flex class concentrates on techniques for engaging and conditioning certain muscles to strengthen technique and enhance flexibility and at the same time reduce the risk of dance-related injury.  As well as assisting development of dancing technique this training will improve both body shape and artistry of movement.  This is a separate class and is particularly useful when combined with other ballet classes, but can also be enjoyed on its own.
