What are the best warm-up exercises to do before a dance class?

Answer 1

stretching

Answer 2

This will be for any dance class
First, basic stretching from head to toe (standing)
Second, floor warm up stretching for flexibility (open legs, sit ups, toe touching, push ups)
Third, some simple routine steps which can be a part of the warm up
But if your doing ballet you should have barre exercises. It depends what dance are you teaching.

Answer 3

Jumping-jacks are great to get the body warm quickly. It also depends on what type of dance you are warming up for. Regardless, the basics are roll-downs, plies (bending your knees), shoulder rolls (front and back), pointing and flexing the feet-regardless of what type of dance you are doing, you'll do footwork and I hurts when you do not warm them up, and head-rolls. Stretch your legs out (open) on the floor alternate stretching side to side and hang center (don't forget to breathe).
