Jog in place to build stamina.

Stretching exercises to be ready to dance.

Answer 2

well you can take dance classes. for the ppl on girllicious you can take hip hop r jazz. for so you think u can dance you can take modern, jazz, hip hop, ballet, tap, or lyrical.

now is the time to start dancing if its what you really want to do!

i know how u can stretch lol if that counts as exercising.

u can stand up straight not bending ur legs and stretch down and try to reach your toes or the ground.do this for 30 seconds every day.

u can sit with ur legs straight apart in a V and stretch your leg muscles by trying to touch your toes again one side at a time for 30 seconds each leg. then stretch in the middle of the V and reach out as far as you can. dont strain yourself though!

there are pleanty of ways to stretch or exercise.

hope i helped a little :}

Answer 3

i have been a dancer for nine years and i no that these stretches make me loose and ready to dance:

1. sit on floor and put feet in front of you. try to touch your toes. hold for 5 - 10 sec. repeat 5 times

2. sit on floor and spread legs into stratle. stretch to right hold 8 counts, left hold 8 counts, center hold 8 counts. repeat 3 times.

3. roll head around and to each side to stretch out neck.

4. stretch arms by crossing one over your chest and pulling it inward with your other arm. repeat with other arm. should feel slightly tense pull in upper arms.

5. get around and move. dance like no one is looking. loosten up. jump around, have fun.

these are some things i do to get ready to dance, im not gonna guarentee that they will work for you but they do work for a giant class of 23 dancers.
