Anatomy of movement: a workshop for dance educators

Joanna Abbatt will offer a workshop, designed specifically for dance educators, focusing on the anatomy of movement, reviewing basic anatomical concepts and presenting effective strategies for preparing the body for dance. Dance educators will be introduced to movements to better understand the structure and function of the human body, particularly as it relates to dance. We will dive into the fundamentals of anatomy, exploring the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems, and how they work together to create movement.

Objectives:

1. Review basic anatomy: Refresh your knowledge, focusing on the structures most relevant to dance. Understand the role of bones, muscles and joints in facilitating movement.
2. Movement analysis: Understand the biomechanics behind common dance movements and positions.
3. Body preparation strategies: Discover effective strategies for preparing the body for dance. Learn about warm-up exercises, stretching techniques and conditioning tools that can improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.

We only accept a limited number of participants. Please reserve your place and, if you can't be there, let us know so we can accept a participant on the waiting list.
