Well + Good - ‘I’m an Alvin Ailey Dancer, and These Are the Hip Stretches I Do Every Single Morning’
Routine is a big part of Deidre Rogan’s life as a member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. As a dancer, her life revolves around them. One of her favorites happens to be the 10 minutes of hip stretches she does daily, typically two or three times per day, and always as part of her morning routine. “I really see my stretching time as my me-time, too,” says Rogan. “You know, just a moment to check in with myself and feel centered.”
