WBC Split Club is a favorite tradition at our studio. We hope you'll join us in creating and maintaining good stretching habits. Stretching regularly will help dancers improve and maintain their flexibility and strength. Here's how to participate:
Stretch at home
Color in your stretch tracker to show how many minutes you've stretched that week.
Parents should initial the tracker to confirm, then bring it back to the studio and we’ll display it on the wall! Then you can grab a new tracker for the next week. When you bring back your tracker, you'll also get to add a chain link for each day you stretched (more info about the chain below).
STRETCH ROUTINES
It helps to follow a stretch routine. You can follow a routine from one of your classes or you could follow along with one of these fun stretching videos:

Pass off your splits & stretches
Pass off your splits and other stretches (pike, butterfly, donut, etc) with your teacher to add stickers to your pass-off chart and links to the chain (more info below). Teachers will do a pass off at the beginning of Split Club so you can see where you're at and then you'll have another chance to pass off during the last week of the event. For most students, your Ballet teacher will be in charge of this, but other teachers can still help. Check out the full list of stretches you can pass off and what the requirements are here:
Add to our paper chain
As you stretch at home and pass off splits, you’ll get to add links to a giant paper chain: 1 chain for each stretch you pass off and 1 chain for each day colored in on your tracker.
We hope our Split Club chain will "stretch" across the whole studio!
CAN YOUR CLASS ADD THE MOST CHAINS?
This year, your class will be assigned a color for the paper chain. Classes have been divided into groupings with an equal number of students in each. Let's see which classes can add the most links to the chain! Who knows, you might get a prize at the Banana "Split" Party!
