Building Jumps That Feel Strong, Stable & Light as an Adult Dancer (Part 1) | After Class | Ep 95

Do your jumps feel heavy, inconsistent, or exhausting? You’re not alone — and the solution starts at the barre.

In this episode, former professional dancer and ballet educator Christina Krigolson, founder of Face the Barre, explains how adult dancers can build better jumps by focusing on foundational technique like plié, tendu, and dégagé.

In part one of this two-part series, we cover:
• Why jump technique starts at the barre
• How to prepare your body before leaving the floor
• Common mistakes adult dancers make with jumps
• How to build strength and coordination for allegro
