Hey Pivot Dancer community, Dinah here 👋
I have a question for you! Dancers, dance educators, dance scientists and even dance enthusiast – how can we help you and your careers? We’re so fortunate to have awesome events throughout the summer to get us on track for the upcoming dance season.
Last night, I attended Dance Ontario’s speaker series, DanceON Series, and it made me think – what types of other events would benefit dancers in our community. Would you like to see more online seminars? Maybe a specific class or workshop? What about a gathering between dance teachers to share thoughts and questions about students and new trends we are seeing in our studios? Even things like timing – would you prefer an event during the weekday or at night on the weekend?

We love to support you, your careers and the future of dance. Let’s stay connected ❤️

Such a blast at Swansea School of Dance! Thanks for having Pivot Dancer’s Dinah Hampson join for an awesome Summer Intensive ☀️🧑🩰
Dinah joined the studio as a guest faculty member to teach students the importance of cross-training and injury prevention. Dinah and the students discussed how cross-training is different from dance and the reason why.
And what’s a good lesson without an analogy? Cooking = cross-training 🧑🍳 Cross-training is building the ingredients in a recipe. Things like flexibility, mobility, strength, power, endurance coordination are ingredients that make a fabulous final product - aka, their dancing and technique!

Pliés in Jumps with Claire Devaney 🧑🩰🩰
Pivot Dancer Expert and Physiotherapist Claire Devaney explains the importance of getting your heels down before take off and landing your jumps. It’s not just a repetitive correction you might hear from your teacher – there’s science behind proper technique. Safer, healthier jumps start from the basics!
