GYROTONIC® Remote Masterclass:
Hip, Knee, and Back Applications for Dancers
Nine 2-hour classes and one 3-hour class from May to October 2024.
Each class video will be available for 14 days.
ABOUT THE CLASSES
Summer 2026 will mark my 20th year on the faculty at American Ballet Theatre’s Summer Intensive, and I see a great deal of hip, lower back, and leg issues during the season. Because many Gyrotonic trainers work with student dancers, company dancers, or are still dancing themselves, this class will examine the exercises developed by
Hilary Cartwright for Pre and Post-op Hip Surgery and also more advanced progressions but from the slightly different point of view of working with dancers/movers without a prosthesis in the hip. I will also talk about common stretches that dancers like to do that are actually terrible for their hips and lower back and highlight the exercises from the series that are instead much better for working their turnout muscles, alleviating hip pain, and looking at the relationship of the lower and upper back, port de bras, hip, & leg placement as it relates to a dancer.
