A 2-day live, practical course for dance teachers that teaches the latest in dance science & research so that your dancers can reach their maximum performance potential.
Based on the Dancer Health Pyramid of injury prevention and performance enhancement, The Savvy Dance Teacher will focus on 3 main pillars of the pyramid:
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.
