The most effective way to excel in dance is to first forge the athlete, then rise above technique to ignite hearts. This guide shows you how to become mighty by building yourself into an extraordinary athlete, body and mind. Leveraging this solid foundation, you can then grow wings and develop stellar dance technique with ease. All that's left to do will be for you to set the stage ablaze and share your joy with the world. After a quick look at the extent of natural human fitness, you get to know mindsets and tools that help you overcome obstacles and succeed in your training. You then pick up the important skill of self-coaching before exploring how training your whole being is essential, and why maximum fitness should be the basis of your dance and skill training, rather than the other way around. In preparation for the exercises, you discover helpful approaches towards training, including eating habits, and are guided in managing your training progress. In the practical part, you learn 20 highly effective, adaptable exercises and a dozen supplementary practices that train your whole being, even upside down. Described with precision and detail, yet in simple language, they are easy to follow. Integrated into the training is a straightforward and strain-free path towards real, lasting suppleness. With a wall for support, and optionally something to hang from, you are ready to begin.
