Session 1: Healthy Hips for Dancers: 5:30PM-7PM
Do you feel pain and clicking when you dance? Does your developpe or turn out feel like it is not as good as it could be? It is no secret that dancers are hard on their hips, but that does not mean you have to be limited! This workshop is your complete guide to keeping your hips injury free and learning the best ways to optimize your performance. Whether you have a current hip injury, are recovering from surgery or just want to prevent future problems there is something for you in this workshop! We will cover:
Basic anatomy, mechanics and alignment of the hips and core for dancers
Common hip injuries in dancers (including impingement, labral tears and tendinitis)
Dance technique corrections to help reduce stress and decrease pain
Exercises to increase turn out, improve posse and get higher developpes

Session 2: Proper Stretching Techniques for Dancers: 7PM-8:30PM

Flexibility is important for dancers and learning how to improve it safely is key. This workshop will provide education on different types of stretching and their benefits. We will discuss the best ways for dancers to safely stretch to improve performance and reduce risk of injury. The stretches demonstrated will focus on the most important muscle groups for dancers to help reduce imbalances. The dancers will be provided a take-home stretching routine they will be able to start implementing into their training program.
