Explosive Jumps: Building Power & Height
Jump Higher, Land Softer, and Build Power in Less Than 30 Minutes a Day
✅ Build the explosive power, lower body strength, and control you need to reach higher elevations, without relying on momentum.
✅ Improve endurance and joint stability to land softer, reduce fatigue, and protect your knees and ankles.
✅ Each workout is dancer-specific and performance-driven, so you can jump smarter, train efficiently, and feel confident in every takeoff and landing.
Unlock Higher, Safer, More Powerful Jumps in Just 6 Weeks
Why this training program is DIFFERENT
Most training program for dancers don't include jump-specific exercises. They either focus on basic gym exercises or just repeat jumps, missing the explosive strength, control, and coordination dancers actually need to jump higher and land safely.
The Explosive Jumps Plan isn’t about jumping to chase height. It’s a dancer-specific system built to develop glute strength, core power, and full-body coordination using targeted plyometric drills and strength progressions. You'll build explosive takeoff and resilient landings, without fatigue, overload, or injury.
In this 6-week program, we train like dancers: with purpose, precision, and performance in mind. Here's how:
We train for how jumps actually work
Jumping isn’t just about pushing harder, it’s about timing, power, and coordination. This program targets the glutes, hamstrings, and deep core muscles that drive powerful takeoff and control your landings. You'll train for real jump mechanics, not just bounce.
We build functional strength and control
You’ll strengthen the exact muscles that protect your knees, support clean landings, and sustain height, like the glutes, calves, and stabilisers. Exercises improve joint alignment, mid-air coordination, and soft, safe landings no matter the choreography.
We keep it practical and powerful
You don’t need long, draining workouts to jump higher. With just 30 minutes, 2x per week, you’ll build explosive strength and jump control that shows up in your grand jetés, sautés, and choreography, without overtraining or burning out.
About me...
Hi, I'm Monica - a former professional dancer turned dance-science and S&C specialist after a serious hip injury at 17 nearly ended my career. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve helped thousands of dancers build powerful, controlled, injury-resistant bodies through science-backed strength training.
But I’ll be honest...I used to hate jumps! They felt heavy, awkward, and frustrating… until I discovered plyometric training. Once I started using evidence-based jump progressions, everything changed: I finally felt light, springy, and confident in the air. I created this plan for dancers who feel stuck: whether you're struggling to get height, feel unstable when landing, or feel like you're just throwing yourself into the air with no control.
This isn’t about random jump drills or exhausting workouts. It's about training smart: developing glute strength, ankle power, core stability, and real plyometric coordination so your jumps actually work every time you push off the floor!

This 6-week program is comprehensive and progressive, with modifications provided for every exercise and written cues to help you perform each movement safely and correctly. However, if you’re recovering from an injury, it’s always best to check with your physio or healthcare provider before starting. Many dancers use it to rebuild strength and control safely, but individual needs can vary.
It’s a one-time payment of $87 USD. You get lifetime access to the full course, including all video demos, self-assessments, and the downloadable PDF.
Absolutely! The program is designed to progress every 2 weeks, starting with more foundational work and gradually building in complexity. Every exercise comes with written regressions (to make it easier) and progressions (to make it more challenging), so you can adapt the training to your current level.
Everything is hosted on LearnWorlds, my online course platform. Once you purchase, you’ll get immediate access to the full program, including video demos, exercise cues, and downloadable resources.
Absolutely! Most sessions take just 20–30 minutes, and the program includes 2 workouts per week, each one carefully designed to target the muscles that matter most for higher, safer, more controlled jumps. You’ll focus on glute power, ankle strength, plyometric training, and coordination drills that improve your takeoff, landing, and stamina. You’ll also get clear guidance on how to structure the training into your week without overloading your body, inside the“How to Use This Program” section.
Not much! You’ll need a yoga mat, a Swiss ball (the large inflatable one), a chair, box, or sturdy step for plyometric drills, a long resistance band, a loop band, and a set of light weights (especially for the more advanced levels). That’s it, everything can be done at home or in the gym, no fancy equipment required.
Most dancers start noticing real changes in 3–4 weeks with consistent practice: things like higher jumps, softer landings, and more power off the floor. You might feel quicker off the mark, less fatigue mid-combo, and more control when landing. Long-term explosive strength, joint stability, and coordination continue to build over time, but this program is designed to help you make visible, trackable progress week by week by targeting the exact muscles behind powerful, controlled jumps.
Unlike random influencer workouts, this program is built specifically for dancers who want to improve their jumps, not just repeat tired drills. Most influencer-style routines tell you to “do 25 sautés from first” or “just keep jumping higher,” but they skip the strength, coordination, and muscle activation that actually create powerful, safe, and elevated jumps. This is a structured, progressive system designed to build the real foundations of great jumps: glute strength, core power, ankle stability, and explosive coordination. This way you’re training smarter, building the strength and control that make your jumps higher, cleaner, and more powerful.
