Testimonials/Success Stories

Hear from dancers who’ve transcended their limits with our past programs.
Their stories are a testament to the power of dedicated training.

I’ve been a competitive Irish dancer for 18+ years, After struggling with my own cross training without significant results, I came across Dance Performance Training and was immediately interested in the dance focused strength training. Not only did I see improvements in my kick height, but I also generally felt better in my day to day. I loved that the program gradually built upon itself, starting out simple with low intensity exercises and gradually progressing.

Aidan Moroz
Competitive Irish Dancer

After beginning this program, I got promoted! I honestly feel that the strength and confidence I gained through this program led me to improve and get promoted. Adagio and extensions had always been a weakness of mine. This program helped me tremendously by giving me effective workouts in an approachable amount of time. I always felt like I was getting every part of my body stronger. I felt a greater awareness of my core within all movements, better weight placement, more stability in adagio, better firing of my glutes in petite and grand allegro, and a better use of my plie. I would definitely recommend DPT to other dancers!

Anna Pellegrino
Professional Ballet Dancer

Though I have been dancing professionally for 10 years, I only recently realized how integral cross-training is to this profession. With this program, 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 highly recommend DPT to all dancers, students, and professionals alike, looking for ways to improve their dancing, gain strength, and prevent injury. Thank you, DPT!

Asia Bui
Professional Ballet Dancer

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 “non-dance” exercises to target specific muscles for sharper skills. I’ve gained more control, better balance, and more stability. I’ve gained more knowledge on proper and more effective warm-ups and I’ve been enjoying incorporating them into my daily routine. I would highly recommend this program to any dancer who needs that extra push to get to the next level with their technique. I promise it’s worth it.

Shamila Issa
Professional Contemporary Dancer

The program is really complete, with the strength, conditioning, and mobility days. I discovered new exercises and ways to work my body. By the end, I was feeling really in shape, and my extensions got higher. My ankle strength was better (I gained jump time!) and more stable. I felt more powerful in my grand allegro while developing foot strength (pointing my feet in the air). Dr Scott is just so nice and helpful, and so are the programs!

Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere

Elevate is designed to push boundaries and elevate dance capabilities, but it
might not be the perfect fit for everyone.
If you’re currently recovering from an injury, under 12 years old, or new to foundational exercises like lunges or bridges, you might want to start with basics first.
Elevate demands a commitment of at least 20 minutes, 2-3 times a week, and access to minimal equipment like strong bands.
It’s crafted for those dedicated to taking their dance to the highest levels. Unsure? Reach out, and let’s talk about your best path forward.
