This course is for you if:
You care about the health and well-being of your dancers and want to implement the latest in dance science & research but don’t know where to start
You’re passionate about teaching and want to see your dancers excel without risking injury and burnout
You feel like you’ve reached a plateau with your dancers and want to take them to the next level, but aren’t sure where to start
You love learning about the latest in dance science & research but can’t always find the time to keep current and up-to-date, or struggle to know how to apply it with your dancers in your studio setting
You’re tired of typical syllabus refresher courses and are looking for something new and exciting to meet CPD requirements
A lot of teaching practices are based on ‘tradition’ rather than science, anatomy, or pedagogical knowledge. This can lead to practices that are unsafe, ineffective, and inefficient at best.
This live course will teach you a better way to do things - so your dancers can reach their highest potential.

You will learn:
Load Management and Recovery. The foundation and basis of all physical performance, we’ll break down training load management, periodization and recovery strategies for dancers.
Physical Preparation. Ensuring our dancers are physically prepared for the demands of dance, we’ll dive into a proper and effective warm-up, functional assessment tasks to identify areas of weakness or imbalance, and nervous system regulation.
Preventative Maintenance. Just like our cars require regular maintenance to run their best, dancers’ bodies need regular maintenance to perform at the highest level. This section covers topics including functional strength assessment for dancers, implementing cross training programs and active mobility.
