Screening.
Screening provides a broad ‘snapshot’ in time of a dancer/non-dancer/athlete’s physiology. Danceproof use ‘gold standard’ tests to capture data ranging from anthropometrics to medical/injury history, strength and endurance testing to key joint range of movement.
Test results are presented in standardized report format. A single screening provides baseline data. Repeat screening can allow for progression of trends, identification of changes, and, allow for inter-class/industry/time comparisons. Analysis and commentary are not included in screening (see diagnostics).
How long will it take?
Screening of 1 individual will take approx. 30 mins.
Costings:
Screening of 1 individual & report $80
N.B if Danceproof is required onsite, travel costs may apply if outside local area.
Discounts available for group screenings and students.
Diagnostic Assessments.
Assessments provide an in-depth physiological evaluation for dancers, non-dancers and athletes; they are a ‘close-up’ If you will, that will provide unique insights to your body, your strengths and weaknesses. The accompanying report provides a wealth and depth of analysis into the ‘what’, the ‘why’, the ‘when’ and the ‘how’. Key findings are highlighted, implications evaluated and recommendations are made. Diagnostics can include full postural analysis, gait analysis, joint range of movement assessment, strength, hyper mobility and balance testing.
How long will it take?
It varies on the subject, but most Assessments take 2-3 hours for the collation of data. This can either be done in the field or in Danceproof’s lab. Turnaround time for the Report and analysis can take a couple of weeks (avg.).
Costings:
Diagnostic Assessment of 1 individual & report $150-$200 (range depends on number of tests administered).
Discounts available (students).
Travel costs may apply if outside local area.
Proprioception training and alignment re-aligning.
Integral to Danceproof’s approach is proprioception training. We have developed a number of innovative techniques specifically devoted to the complex problem of re-aligning faulty alignment and correcting injury compensation behaviors and patterns.
Correcting postural habits, for example, pronating ankles, posterior pelvic tilt or forwards head placement, whether they are lifelong or, developed over time in response to ‘managing’ an injury, is challenging. Danceproof have had real ‘wins’ with our clients in successfully imprinting postural/alignment change. Please contact us for more details.
Costing:
1-1 Coaching $80/1 hour (proprioception training with Conditioning)
Class cards available (5% reduction in total price for 5-class card, 10% reduction in total price for 10-class card).
Discounts available for students and group bookings.
BESPOKE CONDITIONING.
Danceproof Conditioning is different; we use the vast amount of data we glean from our exhaustive data capture processes in Diagnostic Assessments and Screening to target the most effective and relevant conditioning program for you.
We use Proprioception training to ‘embed’ your alignment and biomechanical change in the most functional way so that it ‘transfers’ to both the ballet studio/sports arena and, to life in general.
We use a whole raft of methods and state of the art equipment including Merrithew pilates apparatus to effect the physiological change you want to see.
We have a proven track record in rehabilitating injured dancers, or, dancers with alignment issues. Our expertise in dance science, pilates and ballet makes us unique in this field.
Costing:
1-1 Coaching $80/hour (Conditioning)
1-1 Coaching $115/90 minutes (Proprioception training with Conditioning)
1-1 Coaching $150/2 hours (Proprioception training, Conditioning with Alignment Ballet)
Class cards available (5% reduction in total cost with 5-class card, 10% reduction in total cost with 10-class card).
Group Conditioning Classes available
Talks, workshops, modules & supporting material.
We have a wealth of experience in creating and delivering talks, workshops. lectures and short courses in all aspects of ‘dancer wellness’ ranging from; Enhancing proprioception and improving Balance, Strategies for the hypermobile dancer, Bone health and Dance, Muscular balance/imbalance; how to injury proof your practice, Enhancing turnout; Strategies for hip external rotation, Arabesque, alignment, muscle recruitment and biomechanics, The Physics of Pirouettes, Iliopsoas activation, strengthening and release; How to safely improve extensions, Safe stretching strategies and fascial release for improving range of movement and addressing muscular imbalance, Pelvic stabilization and hip pathologies in dance, to Nutritional and Hydration strategies for enhancing performance.
Focus is on practical application with curated subjects that are key to dancers and dance educators. All modules have practical application and relevance to the individual dancer with interactive ‘lab’ sessions. We advocate the empowering of ‘thinking’ dancers armed with the knowledge to enhance and injury proof their craft and performance.
