Strong Foundations Summer Holiday Program

This 3-day summer school program is designed to equip young dancers with essential tools to reduce the risk of injuries, improve strength for dance-specific movements, and learn about long term strength and conditioning practices. Each day focuses on a different aspect of injury prevention and performance, combining educational lectures, interactive sessions, and practical exercises. Day 1 - Building a Foundation for injury prevention, covers common dance injuries, their causes, and looking at the dancer's own body alignment, flexibility, and strength. Dancers will also learn essential strength exercises, with 30 minute strength and conditioning class to finish. Day 2 - Strengthening for dance specific movements, shifts to strength training for dance-specific movements like turnout, jumps, and extensions, with targeted exercises and a30 minute strength and conditioning session. Day 3 brings everything together, emphasising recovery, flexibility, and creating a year-round strength and conditioning program for themselves, concluding with a Q&A session.
