i think a lot of us have our new years resolutions to stretch more! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif i actually went out and bought "the idiots guide to stretching" believe it or not!! i think it’s cool that so many of us are trying to master the splits too!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif

partner stretching definitely helps you gain more flexibility, when im at home, i ask my mom or my brother to push on my back with their feet while one of them is lying on the couch to help me stretch lol.

angel, im the exact same way everytime i start to dance, im like a little kid, "i dont wanna!!!!!!!!!!!" but ultimately i think we’d be shorting ourselves if we didnt stretch.

yoga dvds are awesome!! definitely helps keep your interest so you dont get bored. i think it’s so beneficial too because it forces you to work on your breathing you know? i bet a lot of us forget to breathe when we’re dancing, i know ive ended up making that "constipated" face when im working on a move because i’ve forgotten to breathe!
