❗️BREAKING NEWS: I don’t NEED to see you in person for your training or treatment to be JUST as effective!🤯

🤲🏻Virtual therapy & training is not a compromise… GROOVES was intentionally BUILT to be a virtual platform because research shows:
🔥Strength & conditioning outcomes are COMPARABLE as in-person
🔥The Assessment itself is VALID and RELIABLE remotely
🔥Rehab outcomes have been shown to be just as effective for various musculoskeletal conditions, and for pain & function.

☕️ GROOVES.PERFORMANCE’s story 🖤

From a young kid looking to be the best, to seeing cracks in both rehab AND strength training systems, I thought it was time to bring the best of both worlds and create something FOR dancers, made BY a dancer.

☎️And with that, DANCER’s EDGE IS NOW LIVE❗️

🖤 The face of GROOVES.PERFORMANCE.

A physiotherapist, strength coach, and dancer who got tired of watching dancers train hard without ever building a body that could actually keep up with their artistry.

😮‍💨So I built the system I wish I’d had.

Dancer’s Edge relaunches in 2 DAYS with 10 spots for teens, and 10 spots for adults. This is built for dancers who are done leaving their physical potential on the table.

📫Link in bio to secure your spot before enrollment opens publicly.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re ready to train like the athlete you already are.

👯And if you know a dancer who needs this. SHARE this post. You might just change their season.

DANCING MORE? I can bet your sleep just got crappier.

We have new research that shows us as that we start dancing heavier, more intensely and more often, our sleep gets crappier.

🤞🏼 SO IN ORDER TO NOT LET IT AFFECT PERFORMANCE…

Add a feasible amount of sleep to your sleep schedule to avoid injuries and decreased performance 🪄

Sounds like you? Follow for more!!

Guys, I literally couldn’t stand straight and my dog was full on judging😂

And honestly thank GOD it helped right away, too!

Here’s a part of my process that helps me understand what the root cause of my problems are, whether it’s pain or performance related… and that is what, WITHOUT FAIL, leads to good results (@zucutetohandle approves)

Struggling with pain or performance too? I totally get it. Hit me up, let’s talk about it!

WHEN YOU START TO REALIZE THIS: most dancers like you have to face their chronic “tweaks”, old injuries and compensations in order to strength & condition for dance AT THEIR BEST.

Knowing the magic of both is where you really start to understand your body, and start performing well, and for A LONG TIME!

Struggling with this too? I get it… follow for more tips!

Dancers u need a SLED PUSH in your life🫦

Remember this. When I tell you a sled push will only elevate you as a dancer…it has a CRAP TON of benefits. And based on dancers goals, I tweak how I program a sled push exercise whether you need more choreo endurance, more power in your movement, and/or quickness through your feet.

ONLY SOME OF THE BENEFITS:
🥵Horizontal force → acceleration / travelling movements
🥵Lower-body strength → jumps, landings, floorwork
🥵Power → explosive choreography
🥵Repeated force production → getting through full-out choreography
🥵Trunk stiffness → controlling the body during dynamic movement
🥵Conditioning → maintaining quality when fatigued
🥵Progressive loading → building confidence in what the body can tolerate

SAVE THIS for your next workout. Let me know how it went❤️‍🔥
