What is Dance Surgery®?

After the success of my first book Pirouette Surgery (available to purchase here), a series seemed like the best next step. However as dance techniques and trends change, I felt that could be an epically long series! I am working on add-on E-chapters including Leap Surgery, Imagery Surgery, Studio Surgery and Stretch Surgery which will be released over the next few years but my aim is to share my knowledge to improve the dance teaching world and my tech savvy students inform me that a subsrib-able blog is the way forward! Each week presents us a teachers with a new hurdle, a new problem and I discover these problems in my classes too. I hope this blog will be a respite and comfort for dance teachers who have the hardest job in the world! 

The Dance Surgery® will become a hub in London for myself and Sam’s private coaching, fore mostly as a pop up studio in Summer 2017 and then hopefully we dream of progressing to a permanent location. Together we want to change the consistency, safety and technique of dance by offering; private coaching on specific dance techniques; dance specific conditioning sessions including safe stretch, micro-muscle conditioning and plyometrics; a dancer mentoring scheme improving young dancers mental health and self-esteem and dance rehabilitation therapy with specialist physicians. We want to be accessible to young dancers, professional dancers and teachers who we can collaboratively elevate to new levels of success. We currently offer all of the above as touring lectures and deliver sessions privately all across the world, which we will continue to do (information for booking can be found here) however the future aim is to create a centre in the heart of London to radiate safe dance training and impregnate the industry with inspired and exceedingly talented performers who have long- lived careers ahead of them.
