This blog post was inspired by an impromptu talk my friend Renee gave in the ladies' room at ContraCopia in Philadelphia, PA a few weeks ago for another dancer who asked her about stretches she could do. After a bit more thought on the matter, Renee was kind enough to supply me with some stretches that she felt contra dancers should consider to help stretch the muscles we use when we dance (and when we add flourishes). As with any physical activity: if it hurts, don't do it; we want to prevent injuries!
