About Artistic Athlete




Artistic Athlete is a series of classes and workshop that teaches young/pre-professional dancers how to reinforce their technique foundation in order to prolong, maintain and enhance their dancing capabilities. A dancer’s body travels through extreme ranges of physical motion that require high levels of ability in a diverse collection of physical capacities: strength, flexibility, endurance,alignment, coordination and relaxation. Lack of proper activation of the core, aerobic endurance, stamina, misalignment and muscle imbalances are the leading causes of dance related injuries.

The workshops focus on:
  • increasing strength for power, stability and flexibility
  • increasing muscular and aerobic endurance,
  • understanding anatomical alignment of the body
  • nutrition and fueling the body for training and performance
  • proper technique of stretching creating and projecting a healthy body image
  • learning how to create a supplemental conditioning program that is cohesive for specific training.
