Injury Prevention for Dancers
Although our dancers pushed themselves to the limit, performed in competitions and put on an amazing Spring Dance Concert last year our studio had ZERO dance related injuries in the 2022-23 school year. Our educated teachers pride themselves in staying up to date on the latest in injury prevention. Nothing is more important than our students bodies lasting their whole lives! We see the repetitive stress injuries, career ending over-stretching, and general lack of care out there that may get students looking great on stage this year, but can lead to knee surgeries in our 30s and hip surgeries in our 40s if we are not training properly. If your dancer is interested in pushing themselves this course is for them. Let's push ourselves to the max the right way at MDS!
This workshop is great as a stand-alone, and it is strongly encouraged as a warm up for the Tricks R4 Kids workshop at 11:45am. MDS students can come for only $12 per workshop or $20 for both! Students not currently enrolled pay $30 per workshop.
Safely led by Ross Sandler B.F.A. in modern dance and choreography, certified Sivananda Advanced Yoga Instructor, Certified Dance Educator of America, Certified RWID Special Needs Movement and Music Coach with more than 20 years teaching experience.
