Stretching exercises, such as deep lunges and splits, are often included in contemporary stretching routines. For lunges, step forward with one leg and lower your hips until your knees are bent at 90-degree angles. Practice leg lifts by lying on your side with legs stacked and your head resting on your arm.

Contemporary dance exposes you to a wide array of different movements that exercise different muscles that most dancers seldom use. The physical skills and training habits that dancers will develop are proven to help gain poise, confidence, emotional stability, and even help sharpen creative thinking skills.

You can dance, regardless of your weight. The real question is what moves or choreographies you should try. Having the health issue, you need to be careful with every form of physical activity that you practice. You should start with easy things and make a slow and progressive learning process.
