Consider this the start of a little experiment in practicing what I preach. 😅

For the next few weeks, we’re going back to the basics—the everyday habits that quietly influence how well we train, work, recover, and perform. No fancy hacks, just a closer look at the foundation and what happens when we actually take care of it.

Welcome to my digital soapbox. 📣

Four days of cerebral overload. One dance floor. Several knees requesting a formal debrief. 🪩

The IADMS 2026 dance party proved that muscle memory and current physical capacity are two very different things.

Splits were split. A helmeted head spin occurred. Allegedly responsible adults turned all the way up.

Approved by the “Mess Around & Find Out” Institutional Review Board. Participants consented. Their knees found out.

Abstract: parody. Numbers: invented. Joy: very real.

One of my favorite parts of IADMS 2026 was getting a behind-the-scenes look at how The Australian Ballet supports dancer health. What stayed with me wasn’t just the incredible resources—it was the intentionality behind the care.

We may not all have access to the same spaces, systems, or resources, but there is always something we can learn, adapt, and do better. Grateful for the openness, the conversations, and the reminder that when we share what works, we all move dancer health forward. 🩰

So much of what moves dance medicine forward starts with asking better questions—and IADMS 2026 gave us plenty to think about. From injury risk and screening to pointe readiness, return-to-dance pathways, and even research in pole dancers, these are just a few of the topics presented at this year’s conference. Swipe through for a glimpse of the research and conversations shaping how we understand and support dancer health. 🩰

It truly takes a village to support a dancer. From clinicians and researchers to teachers, educators and organizations, every part of the dance community plays a role in helping dancers thrive. That’s the beauty of IADMS—bringing the whole village together, with the dancer at the heart of it all.

IADMS brings together researchers, clinicians, educators and dance professionals from around the world to share knowledge, research and ideas centered on dancer health and performance. Being in Australia for IADMS 2026 was such a great opportunity to learn, connect and be surrounded by people who are just as passionate about advancing the field of dance medicine and science. 🇦🇺🩰

Blink and I’m in Singapore! ✈️✨ 48 hours in, hawker flair, sky gardens, spotless streets, and those famous smoking boxes. Fast detour, big crush. Next time, I’m staying longer!

At the end of the day, what matters most isn’t just what we’ve built for ourselves, but what we’ve poured into others along the way. That’s where the real impact lives. ✨

NY to Melbourne with a detour to Thailand. I’ll share more about that in another post. Now it’s #iadms2026 mode. Suitcase in one hand, fresh ideas in the other. Ready to learn, swap insights, and bring the energy back home.

Clocked in at work, but according to my family, simply sitting at home and waiting to be summoned 😂 The real-life moments are even more chaotic than this reenactment! Is this an African/Caribbean household thing, or has everyone’s family collectively decided that working from home is not a real job? 🤣

Impact is bigger than the work we do today—it’s what continues because we were here. The lives touched, the doors opened, the ideas planted, and the difference that carries on long after us.

The beginning of a new season putting the dancers through several assessments. Everyone does the DRS, but only new dancers complete the SCAT-6 baseline concussion assessment.

Having a baseline gives us a clearer picture of each dancer’s normal function before a concussion happens. If an injury occurs, it provides an important point of comparison to help guide recovery and return-to-dance decisions.
