Vitality at VDF returns with a special duo of professional development sessions for dance educators and studio owners - free and accessible from the comfort of your home.
Following a recent survey conducted by COMDANCE, Dance Informa and Discount Dance Costumes, we've discovered the thing that keeps dance educators up at night most is their own health and wellbeing. So we are here to help you put yourself first for once!
Prioritise your health and wellbeing with renowned dance physio Sally Harrison direct from the UK, who will be telling us why its important to
“Be sure to place the oxygen mask over your own face first before assisting anyone else, even your own students”
Sally is the founder of Band-ITS & Strength4Dance, a business dedicated to injury prevention and creating a strong body for a lifetime of dance. Having ended her own dance career due to injury she is passionate about helping the next generation of performers and teachers to understand and look after their ‘tool of the trade’.
Sally is a state registered physiotherapist and fitness trainer with over 20 years of experience in both the health and fitness industries.
She has been working as a physio with dancers since 2008 and has worked with both musicals and Bangarra Dance Theatre.
