What is contortion
and why is it helpful for competition dancers?
Contortion is the art of flexibility.
In the entertainment industry Contortionists are categorized as a “Specialty Act” because of their unique abilities that go beyond what a dancer or gymnast has training to perform.
Competition dancers who practice contortion understand how to safely perform elements that require extreme flexibility, balance, and control of every movement.

Hayley Cabral
Master instructor Hayley Cabral teaches her specialized contortion technique that she has developed after 20 years of performing as a professional hand-balancing contortionist.

“Passing down my PASSION
for Contortion
is my PURPOSE
in life."
"I created Flexibility Fitness to pass on my professional knowledge to the next generation of artists. I'm an advocate for mental health, which is why my classes encourage self love and promote a healthy body image to combat the negative culture of body shaming in the arts. Passing down my passion for the art of contortion is my purpose in life.
My professional experience as a touring artist in several different environments has taught me that the most important life lesson contortion teaches kids is to never give up. Acrobatics is a skill that requires athletes to try again and again to achieve results. Kids learn that they can achieve their goals if they stay focused, practice consistently and believe in themselves!"
