Introducing Fundamental Strength & Conditioning Concepts
For us, injury prevention and reducing injury risk begins with providing dancers an opportunity to learn about human capacity through movement.
Let's Build!Acknowledging the Human Behind the Dancer.
In our healing and training spaces, it is imperative for us to bring the human to the forefront. We recognize the dancer, while also acknowledging the young human who has chosen dance as a method of self expression and life learning experience.

FROM OUR DANCE|PREHAB COMMUNITY
Human First
"Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I teach at a Fine Arts High School with mixed levels, and incorporating these movement fundamental exercises helps even-out the different levels of experience. These task-based exercises allow all the students, regardless of experience, to work on movement. Many of my students will not be professional dancers, but they will have a body."
Cultivate Environments
Thank you for hosting a wonderful virtual session! It was very informative and thought provoking! I truly appreciate your expertise, also I noticed that the language you were using was so encouraging. Words are powerful. I realized this is something that I really want to work on as a PT whose first language is not English and a former dancer who was having an unhealthy mentality for years. I am looking forward to leaning more from you."
Connecting Community
"I want to thank Dance Prehab for this virtual Sunday Session! I was so glad to finally get to participate in one all the way from the midwest. I love the exercises/games, and the conversation has given me a lot of food for thought. I hope you offer virtual Sunday Sessions again in the future!"
