This webinar will cover an in depth look at how the body functions through fascial lines and how to teach dance teachers how to teach their students how to load their bodies to decrease injuries! The current protocol for dancers includes pilates however, much more information is needed in order for dancers to know how to take care of themselves from a strength perspective. As a collegiate dancer who struggled with injuries, this information will begin to close the gap in education in order to help dancers increase their physical capacity, decrease injury, increase somatic awareness, increase strength and increase flexibility. This workshop will include a learning portion and a practical portion to cater to both types of learning styles!
