Witnessing It Work In Real Time

“Your energy towards your work is amazing. RAMP, red light green light, bear crawls, side planks, jumps, all were a huge success. The dancers had fun and they were learning.”

Centering Athletic Properties

“You were speaking my love language. I loved how you focused on athletic properties instead of the dance technique people tend to spotlight.”

Being Part Of The Ecosystem

“What an awesome experience learning from, sharing with, and being in community with you. Thank you for being part of my ecosystem.”

Influence Beyond The Session

“All of your efforts made a huge impact on almost every aspect of our teacher meeting. Thank you for the constant encouragement and inspiration.”

Building Shared Language

“I’ve got these tools now where I can go, what’s your pain level, what traffic light color are we, and just start that communication process.”

Relief In Not Diagnosing

“It’s really wonderful just to have that sort of support of the tools that you’ve given us. I just like the idea of not having to diagnose. Maybe you’re the first person they’ve ever been able to talk to about pain in their lives.”

Creating Opportunities To Facilitate Growth

“It made a huge impact on my own reflection. How do we work with people in a way that unlocks things or embraces the fact that growth has all these different ways of coming out?”

Reframing The Language Of Pain

“I usually stop and ask the question and reframe it with, ‘Hey, can we talk about what kind of sensation?’ So I don’t just rely on the word pain, because that can be a very fear-inducing word for a teacher too, and for a student.”

Integrating Protocol Change

“I started changing the verbiage. In between classes, you should go here. It’s been a lot more positive this last week thinking about all these opportunities, as opposed to like you be quiet and you listen and follow the rules.”

Fostering A Curious Process

“I found just stopping, waiting until the pain is gone and then trying to go back, it never worked. Now at least there’s that start and I can articulate it better and tell a kid, ‘Okay, let’s dive into this,’ and we don’t have to just sideline them.”

Creating Space For Conversation

“I observe myself as the teacher who, if a student finally comes forward and says ‘I’m having this issue,’ then they’ve probably waited too long. But now we can start this conversation of why did you wait?”

Reconnecting With The Dancer Within

“I had so much fun and this workshop was incredibly insightful and inspiring. I loved getting to move again and reconnect with that dancer, child part of myself. It has been making me really reflect on what I wish I did more of in my own training.”

Space To Talk Shop With Other Educators

“Today’s session was lovely. I really appreciate having a space to connect with other educators and learn how they implement these concepts into class. I don’t often get the chance to talk about this stuff with other people in the dance world.”

Practical Presentation, Practical Application

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Dance Prehab and the helpful information shared with my coworkers and I. The way the information was presented and discussed helped me understand how I can incorporate what I learned into my teaching practices.”

Ready To Apply It In The Studio

“I will definitely be applying the mobilization exercises for my dancers, along with the exercises from the activate section that we went over.”
