The Stronger Dancer Priorities
Train like an Athlete. Dance like an Artist.
Welcome to The Stronger Dancer. My mission and number one priority is to make you the strongest dancer you can be and help pave the way for you to reach your artistic potential. Dancers are constantly told not to strength train and a culture of fear has been built around the topic. This is what is keeping us fatigued, in an ongoing cycle of injury, and unable to produce what we are truly capable of at competition. Let me help you find your strength.
Strength and Power
Facilitating Better Movement Execution
It has been proven by multiple studies that the load we put our bodies under during practice is not enough to prepare for competition. Together we'll push you to build strength in cross training sessions so your dance practices can stay focused on technique.
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Greater Heart Health and Longevity
At some competitions and camps you'll find yourself dancing five or more rounds without much break in between. My 3-tier cardio endurance program works in phases so you will no longer be thinking about how out of breath you are while dancing and can dedicate all of your focus to your performance.
Phasing Around Competitions
Know When to Rest and When to Push
Yearly competition schedules can get aggressive. Our sport doesn't operate with an "on" and "off" season. Sometimes you'll compete three days in a row. Together we will periodize your training to push you when needed and at the same time rest enough to prevent injury.
