What makes us different

What is Dance Science?

"Dance Science is an expanding area of research and study; it aims to investigate dance practice in its broadest sense, to explore areas such as training and performance, dancer health and safe-practice and the impact of dance on areas of health and wellbeing among other populations" (Trinity Laban Website).
It benefits both Dancers & Educators by making the dance world a better place
Dancers have unique needs and execute very specific movement patterns
It examines the science behind the art form so that the health of dancers is optimized
Dancers have high injury risk, so learning about Dance Science is crucial

Latest from our blog

As The Dance Scientist, I streamline & simplify the scientific concepts & translate them into digestible products that are evidence-based.

    Some feedback from our students

    “Loved the first printable”

    Loved the first printable so much that I had to come back for just about everything else! Thank you for making them so beautiful 😍
    printable e-book customer

    “I liked your analogy of the brain”

    The way you explained mental capacity  of younger vs older minds. It really stuck with me, the image of a box getting more full trying to grasp several things at once instead of applying to knowledge they had. 
    the curriculum course student

    "I loved the tips and cues"

    As I am a very “have to do” learner and visual learner being able to have those examples & demonstrations it was like a light bulb clicking on for me.
