Are you confident the stretches you’re doing are truly safe ? And do you know when flexibility training supports development—and when it risks injury? Our friends at Dance Teacher are inviting Pointe+ members to its next DT+ Teacher Talk, “Safe Stretching Practices,” on Thursday, March 19, at 12 pm EDT.

This talk will help you gain essential insights into the physical benchmarks that will ensure your teaching or personal stretching practices align with what dancers’ bodies can realistically, and safely, handle at every age.

This live hour-long Zoom discussion will feature guest speakers Gregory Youdan Jr., movement scientist, dancer, and Pilates instructor, and Jeff Rogers, Ballet West company teacher and principal faculty member and director of the Ballet West Academy men’s program. Attendees will also be able to ask questions in real time.  

This invitation is being extended exclusively to Pointe+ members! You can register for the discussion by clicking here.
