Once your junior dancers have a strong bridge with good technique, it's time to start adding variations to keep them engaged and challenge their bodies AND brains. Here are 3 fun bridge variations to play with in class: ✅ Circular Bridge ✅ Kneeling Bridge & Recover ✅ Monkey Puzzle Bridge ✅ Circular Bridge Creates beautiful movement that looks great on stage. Perform with or without the recover to standing depending on your dancers' level. 📌 Tip: Train both sides. Kneeling Bridge & Recover: This one doubles as a drill - it teaches your dancers to roll up through their spine one vertebra at a time without sinking into their low backs. Once they've got it, try it on one leg. Monkey Puzzle Bridge: A challenge for the body AND the brain. Tell your dancers where to place their hands and feet BEFORE they go upside down - it gets tricky once inverted. How it works: - Start by replacing the hand with the foot and twisting into a circular bridge - Pick up the opposite hand and foot to face the back - Continue the same motion — always opposite hand to leg, staying in a perfect square 📌 Tip: Train both directions. Start on their dominant side first. Bridge variations keep your dancers excited about a skill they already know - and give them a clear path to progress beyond the basics. Let me know which one you try first in your classes!

I believe I purchased the premium membership. I’m not finding that was purchased available to me. I’m not sure if I missed the transfer date or something but I’d rather not have to buy what I had again? The spotting class and a few more. Please help . Also I had gone through quite a lot of the kinder and pre but now it’s showing I did nothing? Not a big deal but just making sure I’m not missing another group or program page ? Thank you guys

Hello I purchased Safe Spotting & Readiness 101 "Online Workshop" back in November 2025 (access is supposed to be a year) it is making me pay for access to the content again. Could someone in admin help me. I have receipt for proof.
