Ep. 95 - Building Jumps That Feel Strong, Stable & Light as an Adult Dancer with Christina Krigolson (Part 1)

Great jumps don’t start in the air, they start at the barre!

In part one of this two-part conversation, I’m joined by Christina Krigolson, founder of Face the Barre, to address some of the most common challenges adult dancers experience in petite & grande allegro, and break down how adult dancers can build stronger, more confident jumps starting at the barre. 

We talk about how plié, tendu, and dégagé prepare your body for jumping, common habits that make jumps feel heavy or unstable, and how to start training jump mechanics in a way that feels doable, not overwhelming.

If jumps have ever felt intimidating, or out of reach, this episode is for you

✨ Come back next week for part two, where we take everything into the center!
