Michele Assaf has been teaching for over 20 years. She has trained dancers from NY to LA and internationally. As a young dancer, she underwent surgeries on both ankles and later both knees. Through long hours of rehabilitation and retraining her body, she gained an extensive knowledge of the body and how to train it properly. This DVD is the complete warm-up, a combination of Modern, Classical, Jazz and Physical Therapy foundations. This will elevate your heart rate to its optimum cardiovascular zone and prepare your muscular system for center work without overworking the muscles. This is an intermediate to advanced warm-up, however can be modified to teach beginners.
