Dancing Healthy
Most dancers concern themselves with technique or the choreography they are learning and performing while the idea of conditioning, fitness, nutrition, and psychology may not enter the picture until the dancer is injured, stressed, or emotionally distraught. Then diet, rehabilitation, injury prevention, or psychological counselling become a necessity. This session will cover a multitude of factors that can assist the dancer to optimize training and keep the career a satisfying and healthy one.
