Physio Workshop: Come manage your ballet ailments

November 30th, 1:30PM-4PM

Do your knees hurt? Do your ankles crack all the time? Does your back tickle weirdly and are you really sick of it? Our friend Lin Prévost-Dansereau, physiotherapist, offers you a workshop that will help you a) understand, b) self-treat and c) prevent all your little dance-related ailments. Because we only have one pair of knees and we kinda need them, it’s worth making better use of our body so that it serves us for a looooong time! This workshop is perfect for you:

  • No specific knowledge of anatomy/physiology required
  • Prevent, manage and treat frequent problems among dancers (even beginners)
  • Ask your questions to a pro!
  • Theoretical part to better understand

  • Prevention exercises part

  • Common problems and their solutions

  • Individual questions and self-treatment!

Intensive workshops

Advanced masterclass – dates to be announced

If you like dancing and go further in your practice, the intensives are perfect for you! We take a technical aspect head-on and refine it. In this master class, our teacher will offer an intense class for intermediate and advanced level. As we all know, our teachers all have hearts of gold, but be careful:  they will bring out their inner demanding teacher and offer us a good challenge 🙂 Including barre and centerwork, a 3-hour master class is no joke (even if we might laughing a little anyways).

Required : ballet outfit that allows the instructor to see the movements (leotard and tights recommended), hair elastic and water bottle, ballet shoes or pointe shoes if you feel like it (and have experience)! Maybe a little snack/sugar to last 3 hours!
  • From 2pm to 5PM (3h)

  • Adults and 16+ welcome!

Variation: dates to be announced

If you like dancing and go further in your practice, the intensives are perfect for you! We take a technical aspect head-on and refine it. In this variation workshop, we learn a choreographic sequence from the repertoire (Don Quixote, Coppélia, Swan Lake…). Whether you want to dance on pointe or in ballet shoes, we aim for an intermediate level. You must therefore have a minimum of one year of pointe classes under your belt to tackle it. Otherwise, join us in demi-pointes or socks!

Please note: This workshop, if danced on pointe, is not appropriate for beginners. Our instructor will be able to advise you on this, and will ask you to get off pointe if she  is concerned with your safety.

Equipment required: ballet outfit that allows the instructor to see the movements (shirt and tights recommended), hair elastic and water bottle, ballet shoes or pointe shoes if you feel like it (and have experience)!

  • From 1PM-4Pm (3 hours)

  • Studio to be confirmed

  • Adults and 16+ welcome!

Turns and Jumps: next dates to be announced!

If you like dancing and go further in your practice, the intensives are perfect for you! We take a technical aspect head on and refine it in clinical mode. Whether you’ve never done tricks or jumps, or you need a helping hand to improve them and go for triple pirouettes, this workshop is tailor-made for each participant according to their needs. We will analyze your initial situation, give you the required corrections and offer you several exercises and challenges to continue to progress even after the workshop.
Attention, si tu souffres de vertiges ou d’étourdissements ou encore si tu as des blessures qui t’empêchent de sauter, ce n’est pas l’atelier pour toi!
Matériel requis: tenue de ballet qui permet à l’instructrice de voir les mouvements (maillot et collant recommandés), élastique à cheveux et bouteille d’eau.
  • From 2pm to 5PM (3h)

  • Adults and kids from 12 years old welcome!
