Progress is built between sessions as much as during them. Our dance recovery collection includes massage balls, rollers, foot massage tools and resistance bands from The Stage Shop and Capezio for mobility work, activation, stretching and post-class recovery. Keep a few reliable tools close by for tight calves, tired feet and the small maintenance work that helps dancers come back ready for the next session.
Recovery tools are most useful when they are simple enough to use regularly. Massage balls and rollers can target tired feet and tight muscles, while resistance bands fit naturally into activation, mobility and strength work around class. Dancers dealing with more localised pressure and friction can also look to foot care; floor-heavy choreography may call for dance knee pads as well.
