Michele Assaf of Broadway Dance Center also has a resistance-stretching DVD called Active Isolated Flexibility (done with Jim and Phil Wharton). It is a similar principle using opposing muscle groups. Instead of holding the stretches 20-30 seconds, you are going to your full range of motion and holding two seconds (and doing this for a number of reps). Michele uses a rope to passively assist with the stretch at times. I have tried to do this DVD a few times, but have never stuck with the method long enough to tell whether it's more effective than static stretching. Static stretching just feels so much more relaxing to me.
