Screening and Injury Prevention of the Adolescent Ballerina

Category:  Pilates

INSTRUCTOR:  Christine Romani-Ruby

Class Description:

Ninety percent of elite adolescent ballerinas are injured. These are higher

odds than for even American football and it makes you wonder how these

children stay with the program. This workshop; will provide an in depth look

at finding the mechanics that can lead to problems early in the child's

dance practice and correcting it. Leave with screening protocol for 10-14

year olds and learn to use Pilates to teach good body mechanics. The end

result will be a beautiful healthy young dancer that survives adolescence
