Preventing Career-Ending Injuries for Dancers!  

In this course, we will address preventing injuries that can pause, slow down, or even END a dancer’s career. Our dance teams ARE Athletes! With an outline of how most dance injuries occur, we will begin to develop strength and conditioning programs to avoid these injuries. While some injuries are out of our control due to congenital issues or accidents, many injuries can be avoided with proper proactive training. Learn strength training that directly prepares our dancers for their choreography.
