Broadway Dance Center: Active Isolated Flexibility & Stretching For Dancers Video
Active-Isolated Flexibility is
a technique of stretching in which we pinpoint, isolate and stretch each
individual muscle used to perform to your highest potential. Join
internationally renowned Director, Choreographer and Master Teacher,
Michèle Assaf, as she takes you through a series of stretches that will
reduce your workload by removing tightness so you can swing your limbs
more freely. These stretches transport oxygen to sore muscles and quickly
remove toxins from muscles, so recovery is faster. AI works as a deep
massage technique as it activates muscle fibers during stretching. The
video gives close-up images and descriptions of all the exercises; how the
rope is used and which muscle is contracting to relax the targeted muscle
in preparation of its stretch. Then Michèle, with the help of Jim & Phil
Wharton, will lead you through a complete Active Isolated Flexibility
class. In this class you will improve your performance, increase
flexibility and prevent injury... your tools to longevity. AI Stretch is
the ground breaking technique developed by researchers, coaches, and
trainers, and pioneered by Jim & Phil Wharton. Jim Wharton, an exercise
physiologist know as "the mechanic" for his ability to fine-tune athletes,
and his son, Phil Wharton, a sports therapist and competitive
long-distance runner, are president and vice-president of Wharton

Lester Horton Technique - The Warm-Up Video
This is a revolutionary dance training tape for both modern dance and exercise
enthusiasts. This unique program is designed to prepare dancers for rehearsal and
performance. The technique's creator, Lester Horton, was determined to develop a warm-up
that did not limit how the body could move, and that was anatomically corrective. As a
result, his method has enormous variety, range and complexity. Many noted dancers began
their dance training with Horton and used the technique with their own students. Horton
protegees lead a group of young professional dancers through leg swings, metatarsal
presses and fortifications in this exclusive presentation. For the professional dancer who
needs to build strength, agility and flexibility, this tape provides important
injury-preventing techniques. It's also an excellent way for the non-dancer or athlete to
do a non-aerobic workout that helps develop grace and relieves muscle stress. 45 mins. (1990/2005) DVD-All-Region.
