Your trunk is the foundation for every movement you make. When strength, mobility, and control aren’t working together, your back often pays the price. In this session, you’ll:
✔️ Understand why back pain develops in dancers
✔️ Learn how trunk strength, alignment, and mobility affect performance and injury risk
✔️ Discover practical exercises to build a stronger, more resilient core
✔️ Walk away with tools you can apply immediately to your own training or teaching
Whether you’re an adult dancer, teacher, choreographer, or movement practitioner, this session meets you where you are across all dance styles.
🎟️ Spaces are limited.
