Without a certain baseline of these important abilities, you are more likely to incur musculoskeletal imbalances and injuries. Therefore, you should do supplementary exercises for muscular strength, power, and endurance outside of your dance technique classes. Some current dance technique classes are increasingly asymmetrical (practicing coordination on one side only) and are more focused on stylistic and artistic aspects of dancing rather than adequate repetitions to develop strength, power, and endurance. While technique classes can improve muscular strength and power, it is not necessarily the main goal. These movements require a level of muscular strength and power. In dance you are required to jump, catch partners, move down onto the floor and up out of the floor at fast speeds, and perform other explosive movements.

Dancers often confuse endurance with strength, so it is sometimes useful to think of endurance as continuous and strength as maximal. Muscular endurance is when less force is sustained over a longer period of time such as in gallops, skips, pliés, and swings. Muscular power refers to a great force production over a short period of time, such as in fast leg kicks and explosive jumping. Muscular strength is the ability to exert maximal force in one single contraction, such as lifting a weight that you could lift only once before needing a short break.
