EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews StamMarch 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a ballet dancer who worked with Scott virtually this past season while dealing with a couple of injuries. We worked on exercises for recovery and discussed how to safely get back to dancing. Scott is very knowledgeable about dance and the latest research in dance physical therapy. I found it helpful that he was always just a text away if I needed his insight between sessions. I would definitely recommend Dance Performance Training to any dancer who is dealing with an injury or who just wants to get stronger and improve their dance performance.

Thank you for your wonderful review! I know it has not always been easy trying to balance health, performance, etc. But you really have dedicated so much to your health and craft. I feel lucky to have helped and can't wait to see what your next season is going to hold for you! April HaughMarch 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter Aubrey is a competitive dancer and was having tremendous knee pain while dancing. This started at conventions but persisted in the studio as well. Dance Performance Training was recommended to us by our studio owner, and Dr. Scott worked with Aubrey on a consistent basis for over 6 months. She has very little to no knee pain now and keeps up with her exercises on her app. Dr. Scott still helps her remotely through the app and through zoom. This program has really helped with her pain level and with strengthening her knees. I would recommend Dance Performance Training to anyone who wants to dance and train without pain.

Thank you for sharing your experience, April! Aubrey is such a hard working and talented dancer! I'm lucky to get to continue to support her and see all she keeps achieving. Thanks so much for taking time to share your recommendation. shamFebruary 24, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before I connected with DPT I was looking for a program to help me with my overall strength and performance. What stood out to me and drew me to DPT is that they use different “none dance” exercises to help target specific muscle groups that will help sharpen your skills so you can take class and/or perform with confidence. Dr. Scott is always there to answer questions that you might have or help with any adjustments should you need any. I’ve seen a difference in my technique, I’ve gained more control, better balance, more stability. I’ve gained more knowledge on proper warm-ups that are more effective and I’ve been enjoying incorporating them into my day to day routine. I would highly recommend this program to any dancer that needs that extra push to get to the next level with their technique I promise it’s worth it. I’m looking forward to continue on my cross training with DPT!

Thanks so much for sharing this incredible review! It's been great getting to know you and seeing your progress! I love you noticed how we use exercise to work your dance, but not in typical dance positions! Karlee NaumannFebruary 13, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Karlee, I’m 28 and an exercise physiologist and dancer from Adelaide, South Australia. Before working with DPT, I experienced a pretty catastrophic injury while competing in a dance comp, dislocating my patella during the playoffs for champion dancer (the overall title for my age group). I left the comp with third place overall, and was pretty bummed about missing out on the title, as well as the long rehab journey ahead of me. I reached out to DPT as I was in isolation for COVID and had seen they offered Telehealth appointments. Even though we are in completely different time zones, I was able to fit in sessions just before I started work (while Dr Scott was coming to the end of his day), it worked perfectly. As I work as an exercise physiologist, I know a lot about rehab, but I believe it’s so important to always be expanding your knowledge and getting external support where you can. The appointments I had with Dr Scott were so valuable - I learnt a lot about my own body and different exercise/types of training I should include. After a few sessions I felt I was able to better manage my own rehab journey, but always went back to the exercises I learnt through my DPT programs. I’m now one year later, and I went back to the same competition and finally won Champion dancer. I can’t thank Dr Scott and DPT enough! 🥰🥹💪🏻💃👑

First off congrats for winning Champion!! That's so awesome. It was so fun working with you, building off your knowledge to combine your current awesome routine and some things that may have been missed. You've had a lot of work you've put in, but so glad I could play a part in your success!! Asia ChmielewskiNovember 27, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Asia and I am a professional ballet dancer with Oregon Ballet Theater. Though I have been dancing professionally for 10 years, I only recently realized how integral cross-training is to this profession. Prior to Dance Performance Training (DPT), I have always looked for ways to improve in adagio and grand allegro. When I first looked into DPT I was elated to see that they offered a program specifically tailored to my needs called "New Season New Heights". This program was specifically focused on strengthening my body to achieve higher extensions and more powerful jumps. I timed this program so that I started it ~12 weeks out from the start of my ballet season. In doing this, I not only felt like I stayed in great shape during my "off season', but also felt like I came back stronger for the start of a new season. I found the app helpful because it allowed me to communicate directly with Dr. Scott when I needed help with an exercise and it also allowed me to take my workouts anywhere (i.e. the gym or while on vacation). I highly recommend DPT to all dancers, students and professionals alike, who are looking for ways to improve their dancing, gain strength, and prevent injury. Thank you, DPT!

Thanks so much Asia! It was great getting to work with you and I'm so excited to see how the rest of this year goes! You're so talented and your hard work is what go your the results just as much as anything I did! Claire GlavsOctober 26, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Claire and I have been dancing professionally for eight years. I saw Dr. Scott for my knee pain and was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and the time he took to listen to all of my concerns. Being injured is a scary and uncertain time for a dancer and Dr. Scott provided the guidance I needed to rebah and not get discouraged. I felt extremely supported through check ins, video guidance on the app, and his timely responses to any questions I had. DR. Scott is unique due to his understanding of ballet and the specific strength a dancer needs. I would encourage any dancers experiencing pain or inbalance to see Dr. Scott to get on top of it right away.

Thanks so much for the amazing review Claire! You are such a strong woman and making great progress! You've been able to take just a little bit of guidance and put it to work for yourself to really keep you improving and getting back to dance!! Sarah EmeryAugust 30, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently did a 12 week training program with Dance Performance Training, and I am so glad I did! I am a dance instructor and retired ballet dancer. I still like to take class on occasion but since I cannot do it often, I found myself getting injured a lot. Their program really helped me strengthen the areas that I needed to, in order to stay physically healthy. It has changed my life. The program is easy to follow, challenging and fun. I like that is was different every day and it focused on a different goal each day. Dr. Scott really cares about his "artistic athletes" and is always just a phone call or message away. He is so knowledgable and it is obvious he has put in a lot of time and research into understanding the art of dance and what dancers need in order to succeed physically and mentally. He sends helpful videos several times a week to keep you engaged and on track. I highly recommend Dance Performance Training to any dancer who is wanting to improve their craft.

Aw Sarah, thanks so much! You are a dancer who already had a lot of knowledge on your body and craft, so it has been so amazing being able to help you further improve and protect yourself! I'm so excited to continue work with you and see your continued improvements! Domino Rose WeirAugust 24, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before working with DPT, I vaguely understood that cross training was important, and something that pretty much all “top" Irish dancers do. But, I didn’t really have the resources to do it effectively on my own. I simply didn’t have the knowledge of body mechanics and how they connect to technique, nor did I have the time to do my own research. I especially had poor turnout and general weakness/restrictions in the hips, but often struggled to get specific instruction from my coaches that went beyond “just try to turn out more.” Like me, they often didn’t have the training or technical knowledge to communicate what they were actually trying to get me to do. DPT gave me structure when I needed it most in the early days of the pandemic. It also helped me plan my training right as I started to dance long distance- living in NYC but affiliated with a school in Georgia. Managing your own training schedule is incredibly hard, especially when you have a job and other life things to balance. DPT made this “one less thing” to worry about as I adjusted to the transition. When I was confused on an exercise or needed some kind of modification, I was confident I could get the help I needed. I still found this program incredibly beneficial even though I haven’t competed consistently since finishing it. The things I learned were universally helpful regardless of the dance form I was doing. Even though I’m not actively competing as an Irish dancer right now, I would still recommend Dance Performance Training. The program gave me a sense of body awareness and ideas on how to cross train effectively that are still relevant to me as a dance skater.

Thank you so much for this great review Domino! I know your dance goals have changed since doing the program. But I'm so glad it helped give you structure and learn a bit more about your training. This knowledge will stick with you whether you decide to compete again or not! Love keeping up with your skating and other adventures and look forward to more from you =D TonieJuly 4, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter, a ballerina, had an odd ankle injury and no one was able to figure out what the problem was, despite seeing 7 different local providers. We were getting nowhere so we started virtual appointments with Scott, and eventually Nicole. Dr. Scott started her on exercises at her level, that strengthened other parts of her body that were not injured. Slow and steady won the race. It has been about 1 year and she is not back on point yet but she has been able to return to classes with limited range. She had just earned high gold at UBC before the ankle issue, and now we are looking to see whether she will be able to get back to the level where she was before. Thanks Dr. Scott & Nicole!

It's not always been an easy journey but it's been great to she your daughter progress! So nice hearing about her dancing without pain. I know she's not feeling as strong yet, but it's been a LONG journey. She is well on her way! Excited to see what's next for her! Katelyn CassidyJune 14, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Scott and Nicole are the best! As someone who always had weak hips and dealt with several injuries during my performing years because of it, I have never felt stronger than I did after doing the new seasons new heights program. My hips don’t fatigue as fast in positions and my extensions have improved closer toward my pre-injury levels thanks to this program! Not only that, but the workouts are designed in a way that make them achievable even with a busy teaching schedule, which keeps me accountable!

Review the information below to find out which track is the right one for you. You can also watch this video that walks you through the options.
Once you have chosen your track you can submit the form at the bottom of this page. Select one and only one option, please.
If you have access to equipment such as free weights, any cardio equipment (rower, stairs, treadmill, bike, etc.), and other things common in a fitness center, “Group 1” is for you!
If you’re primarily doing this at home, with resistance bands (though a few small weights can easily be added if you have them), but still can use stairs, bike, run, or have some cardio equipment access, select “Group 2”
Lastly, If you don’t like to run, and don’t have access to any cardio (no stairs, bikes, or lap pools) then the last option is for you! “Group 3”
This program is made specifically for the demands of male dancers, taking into account some extra work for upper body to support partnering, extra stability for the lower back, etc. This option is similar to group 1 in terms of equipment need.
No track is better than the other, you will get results regardless. You can find more information about the equipment requirements for each track by scrolling down.
