Why I Created the Safer, Stronger Dancers & Instructors™ Summer Intensive
As a dancer, instructor, and passionate advocate for long-lasting careers in the dance world, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of education, injury prevention, and holistic training.
These aspects are essential not only for dancers’ success but also for ensuring that they thrive in a safe and sustainable way throughout their careers. That’s why I’m incredibly excited to announce the Safer, Stronger Dancers & Instructors™ Summer Intensive — a transformative program designed for dancers, instructors, and dance educators of all ages and levels.
The intensive was created with one mission in mind: to empower dancers to be safer and stronger on while helping instructors build sustainable practices for themselves and their students. Through this intensive, I want to provide a comprehensive, multifaceted experience that blends the art of dance with the science behind it — and I’m thrilled to be able to bring this online and to the Cleveland, Ohio area.
Who is the Safer, Stronger Dancers & Instructors™ Summer Intensive For?
This program is for teen dancers, adult dancers, senior dancers, and even dance educators who are committed to improving their skills while prioritizing their health and well-being.
