Body Conditioning for Dancers.
Are your students struggling to dance full out for an entire number? Are they struggling to control their energy through competition weekends or on recital days? Do you have students that seem to easily get injured? It's important to have basic knowledge of how the body is designed to move, how to safely manipulate it to perform challenging dance steps and how to control energy while dancing. Students (and teachers) will gain an understanding of basic but effective injury prevention, how to treat common dance injuries, stamina and strength building exercises that can be incorporated into classes, as well as nutrition tips for lasting energy.
