WORKSHOPS
Mobility and Stability for Dancers
Anatomy | Worksheet (mobility, stability, balance & breathing) | Customized rehab
LECTURE - We begin with a brief anatomy overview of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. This sets the framework for me to then be able to discus how skin, joints, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and the nervous systems work together influencing our mobility and stability.
HANDS ON - We use a worksheet, where each dancer documents:
mobility - at each joint
stability - of different body regions
breathing - for optimal core stabalization
balance - with eyes open and closed
TAKE HOME - Each dancer now has a customized guideline for self rehab for the regions of their body the can benefit from increased mobility, stability, breathing for core stabilization and balance training. We discuss how to use the worksheet so they can structure a rehab routine for themselves and track their own progress.
This is a 4hr workshop, and includes: lecture print-outs, worksheet, and lacrosse ball to be used in the workshop and for self care at home. Cost $100/participant
COMING SOON - workshop for musicians
WORKSHOPS - possible for all types of artists
(tattoo artists, photographers, digital artists, circus performers, fine artists, culinary arts etc.)
