Dancer Stability Workshop
Improve pain, posture and balance
to dance better, longer.
Hosted by Myles & Tessa
Feel more balanced in your West Coast Swing
and get to the source of dance pain
Do you...
- Have persistent pain (such as in the ankle, hips, shoulder, etc.) when dancing?
- Experience inconsistent balance during turns, spins and weight-transfers?
- Feel like you’re constantly being tugged around the dance floor?
- Have muscles that always feel “tight”, despite how much you stretch?
- Often receive the same feedback regarding your posture, frame or shoulder position?
If so, it sounds like...
Your STABILITY is holding you back from getting the dance you want.
You need to resolve these deeper issues first in order to access and implement all the great WCS skills you're trying to learn.
Dancers of any level, like all athletes, require strength and conditioning to prepare the body for the unique physical demands of dancing.
Instability, weakness or improper muscle activation often shows up for dancers as:
- Chronic pain during or after dancing
- Preventable injuries
- The same muscles constantly feeling “tight”
- Guarding/protecting certain joints
- Feeling out of control or off balance
- Improper posture
- Feeling “heavy” to your partner
When it comes to teaching and training WCS smarter, we’ve got you covered. But deeper issues like this call for a professional who specializes in them, so we are excited to introduce to you, Coach Gabriel Shaw, Practicing Kinesiologist and fellow Westie!
