The lower legs work hard during tap dancing. Pay extra attention to your calves while warming up.

  • To perform a runner's lunge, lunge forward on one knee, straightening the other leg behind.
  • Place your hands on your lunged knee.
  • Push the heel of your back leg into the ground, feeling the stretch through your entire calf area.
  • Hold the stretch for 20 seconds on each leg.
