Healthy Dancer, Elite Mover: A Virtual Conference for Dance Educators 

This conference for dance educators as well as parents of dance students will address the most up-to-date guidelines for conditioning dancers in a post-COVID-19 era and the fundamental motor control principles essential to training an elite mover in any form of dance. Highlights will include lectures on adolescent dancer considerations, jump conditioning, return-to-studio guidelines after home training, and common concerns of dance educators and parents. On the final conference day, choose between a pointe readiness or a vocal health for dancers presentation. Join our expert Harkness Center clinicians for one, two, or all three days of this virtual learning experience that will include live Q&As with presenters. Dance educators, parents, and anyone in the dance community interested in evidenced-based strategies for healthy dance training in all dance forms and settings are encouraged to attend.
