​Stretching is an essential part of every dancer's daily routine, and like all other aspects of dance training there is a right and wrong way to stretch.  

The links below are to two excellent articles on stretching.  The two most important takeaways:

- Overstretching can cause serious injuries
- Avoid stretching when before warming up
- Never stretch to the point of pain
