Ballet (Beginner) with Nina Yoshida

Class Duration - 45 min.

This 45 minute class will introduce students to the fundamentals of classical ballet in a welcoming, supportive, and fitness-minded environment.

The grace and control of ballet dancers is unmatched by many other art forms. It is the key to body awareness and muscle memory and proper technique is of the utmost importance.

Beginner Ballet will focus on technique and placement in a safe, supportive and uplifting atmosphere.

It’s never too late for anyone of any age to learn ballet. Ballet shoes are not required.

Expression class at KrigorStudio

Class Duration - 45 min.

Expression class at KrigorStudio is one of our most popular classes and for good reason. Performance and interpretation are a major part of most art forms including, but not limited to, dance and figure skating; on the ice, these skills are what makes up a figure skater’s components or "Artistic" score and can make a skater stand out from the competition. Individuality and personality, plus physical, emotional, intellectual involvement, and projection can all contribute to performance, while expression of the music’s character, feeling, and rhythm, with the use of finesse, to reflect the details and nuances of the music fall under the umbrella of interpretation. Dancers and figure skaters can use body movement and narrative portrayal to bring the characters they are trying to represent on the stage or ice to life; but beyond that, facial expressions are another tool to tell the story to the judges, audiences, and those watching on TV at home. For any athlete looking to increase their performance in terms of artistry, interpretation, musicality and emotion, this Krigor Studio Expression class is a must.

Elite Stretch

Class Duration - 45 min.

Stretching is a simple and effective way to enhance athletic performance, decrease the chance of injury, and minimize muscle soreness. When you increase range of motion in the joint, you increase the distance the limbs can move and contract. By improving flexibility you reduce risk of injury because your joints are better able to move through their full range of motion. This can improve the muscle’s power, and your ability to actively control the muscles, resulting in a better execution of movement and an enhanced performance. Elite Stretching with Krigor Studio provides these and other added benefits of stretching such as improved posture, improved circulation by increasing blood flow to the muscles, increased energy levels, reduced muscle tension, and stress release. Tight, stiff muscles limit normal range of motion and interfere with correct muscle actions which can greatly increase the chance of becoming injured and is why you must keep up with a daily stretching routine. The benefits of stretching can be accomplished when flexibility training is applied professionally and diligently over an extended period of time. Vika and Krigor Studio will surely increase your strength and flexibility while fostering dedication, determination and stretching your limits!

Foam Rolling

Class Duration - 45 min.

Foam Rolling, or self-myofascial release, has transformed from a once mysterious technique used only by professional athletes, coaches, and therapists to a familiar everyday practice for people at all levels of fitness. Self-myofascial release is a technical term for self-massage to release muscle tightness or trigger points. Foam rolling can assist in breaking up these muscle knots through trigger points, resuming normal blood flow and function. This method is used by Krigor Studio by applying pressure to specific points to aid in the recovery of muscles and assist in returning them to normal, elastic, healthy muscles that are ready to perform at a moment’s notice.
