Ever wondered why one student finds balancing hard, or why another seems to never get the correct alignment in demi plié? Ever heard of the four different types of Turnout? In cooperation with Health Teams from German Dance Institutions and in line with international dance medical guidelines this interactive workshop will support you in how to deal with common leg alignment issues. It dives deeper into the biomechanics of the lower extremities, gives tips for supportive corrections, and explains why and how with only small changes we can make long-term gains. In our world of being accountable for the next generation of young dancers it is our responsibility to do everything possible to protect and care for them. By integrating a dance medical approach into your teaching, you will be playing a vital role in injury prevention. Come and join 90 minutes of individual assessment, practical application, and discussion!
