We were so happy to see Dr. Alex today in our studio. He helped us kick off our Summer Intensive on the right foot!!

They all agreed—the most important thing dancers can do to protect against injury is being strong

Strength training supports your technique, improves your control, and decreases your risk of injury

We work with lots of studio dancers online to keep them going in their seasons, and it was fun for Dr. Alex to go in to the studio this week with the School of the Minnesota Ballet

Stay strong, stay safe, we can help!

The emerging performing artists series showcases are set!
