Can Can Tips!

[Back]

Feeling nervous about starting your can-can lessons? Don’t panic, our head teacher of can can, Liza Mortimer, has some top tips to get you through your first can can class!

• Polestars can-can classes are high impact cardiovascular fun workouts in a fantastic group environment. 
• No previous can-can dancing or dancing experience is necessary. Polestars can-can lessons are suitable for all levels.
• Be prepared for lots of giggling and shrieking during your cancan lessons.
• Always warm up properly - this is imperative and Polestars have a through warm up session in their can can tasters and can-can courses. Do all the stretches during the warm up and warm down provided otherwise you will have very stiff muscles the next day.
• Hold your tummy in when kicking, this protects your back and strengthens the core muscles. 
• Point your toes - this lengthens the leg and enhances your flexibility.
• Really get into character - add extra things to your costume, i.e. ribbons or chokers round the neck / feathers in the hair / garters on the legs - this will really increase your confidence.
• Hold your head up high and really over exaggerate the moves - this may feel silly at first but the whole style of the can-can dance is about showing off!
