Pivot Dancer

Did you know Pivotal Pivoter and Principal Soloist of Miami City Ballet Jordan-Elizabeth Long is part of our teaching team? Did you also know that many artists begin their journey in dance to help aid with scoliosis, as 80% of scoliosis cases are found in adolescence, and it is 4 times more likely to be found amongst dancers than the regular population?

One of those artists is Jordan!

Scoliosis appears more commonly in females and hyper-mobile people. As an advocate and teacher, Jordan loves working with students that may be dealing with challenges that are presented with scoliosis.

If you or your little dancer would like to work with Jordan, book your one-on-one and get all of your tips and tricks.

I love the physical and mental challenge of training and performance. I love the feeling of always trying to better myself, I love the community it has given me and I get to contribute to.” – Pivotal Pivoter Heather Ogden, Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada.

Let’s debunk this myth... does taping your ankles make you weak? The answer is NO!

This argument stems from the concern that if ankles are taped for protection from sprains while participating in the sport that the surrounding muscles have responsibility for helping to stabilize the joint, the muscles are not being worked or challenged and will therefore, become weaker. But that’s completely not true! There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support this theory. The best way to protect against ankle sprains is a regular routine of resistance training as well as proprioceptive training of ankle muscles.

Debunk more taping theories with our Clinical Taping Skills with Dance Specific Adaptations, April 6 & 7.

Meet March Pivotal Pivoter Shannon Anderson. Shannon is an Irish Dancer who has been using Pivot Dancer since 2022!

“Choosing a favorite aspect of the Pivot Dancer program is challenging, but if I had to pinpoint one thing, it would be the unwavering commitment to cultivating strong, safe, and incredible dancers. Growing up, the belief was that dancing more was the sole path to improvement in dance. Pivot Dancer challenges this notion by integrating science and wisdom into its approach, offering highly effective ways to enhance dance abilities. The program’s flexibility and personalization cater to individual dance goals, providing a tailored and holistic learning experience. Additionally, the sense of community fostered by Pivot Dancer is unparalleled. Coming from an Irish dance background, where interactions with dancers of different styles were limited, I now find myself connecting with a global community of diverse dancers, all bound by a shared love for the art. The exchange of knowledge and experiences within this community has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for the enriching connections forged through Pivot Dancer. I love that you can flip between in-person, virtual and on-demand classes depending on what your schedule looks like,” – Shannon Anderson

We can’t wait to share more about Shannon and her passion for Irish Dance. ☘️💚
