a physio's masterclass
Ever wondered if you’re actually ready for pointe? Whether you can improve your turnout? Why your ankle keeps wobbling when you are balancing? Or what exercises will genuinely make you a stronger dancer with less injuries?
Come along for a free, practical physio workshop designed specifically for adult ballet dancers.
Online Info Session – Saturday 19th, 3:30 pm.
DANCE STRONG
Love to dance, but finding your body doesn’t always keep up? Maybe you’re getting back into dance after a break, fitting classes around work and life, or pushing through those aches and niggles because you don’t want to miss a class.
Adult dancers have different demands on their bodies, and knowing what’s normal, what to watch out for, and when to get help can make all the difference. Pain and repeated injuries shouldn’t just be part of dancing.
That’s where we come in.
You’ll leave this free info session with:
- A better understanding of your own body
- Simple ways to assess your pointe readiness
- Exercises for stronger feet, ankles & hips
- Strategies to improve balance and control
- A better understanding of when pain is something to modify
Whether you’re dancing recreationally, returning after years away, training regularly, or simply want to keep doing what you love without your body holding you back, this session will give you the knowledge and practical tools to dance strong, stay healthy and keep doing what you love for longer.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
Dance Demands: Understand what your body needs to handle the demands of dance as an adult. Learn about strength, mobility, balance, control and conditioning, as well as the common injuries that can affect adult dancers across different styles.
IDENTIFY THE RISKS
Red Flags in Dancers: Learn to recognise when an ache or niggle is more than just part of training. We’ll cover common warning signs including persistent pain, recurrent injuries, changes in performance and symptoms that linger after class, plus when it’s time to modify training or seek help.
PREPARATION AND MANAGEMENT
The Smart Approach: Discover how strength training, smart load management, recovery and evidence-based injury prevention can help you stay strong and keep dancing. Learn practical strategies to manage your body alongside work, life and dance, so you can keep progressing, performing and enjoying dance for longer.
