One popular option is Gyrotonic, an exercise that guides users to simultaneously stretch and strengthen muscles and tendons while also articulating and mobilizing the joints. Lucky for MCB dancers, they don’t have to go too far…we have a Gyrotonic room right here in our building!

We recently caught up with principal dancer Jeanette Delgado during one of her sessions to learn more about this specialized exercise routine.
