The Benefits of Dance Performance Training

Dance Specialists

Dance is a highly skilled and technical activity and requires professionals who understand the demands, mobility needs, stamina requirements, and class structure to help you achieve the results you are after. You’ll never hear us say something like “just stop dancing and your pain will go away.” We’re here to help you so you can continue to dance.

Cross Training

Anyone can give you a hard workout, but what you need is intelligent training that avoids overuse (the #1 type of injury in dance) while systematically targeting the underlying needs of dancers. All of our programs are designed for dancers and their goals, including better mobility, safe progressions, effortless power, solid balance, and decreasing risk of future injuries.

Rehabilitation

No matter how strong you are, high performing dancers can always end up with minor tweaks, twists, and other injuries. Finally, you’ve got a Dance Medicine Specialist to ensure you can get through your weekend performance, finally get the leg height you’ve wanted (without any pinching), or stop the achy achilles from getting in the way of another rehearsal.

Kind words from our clients

Having an "online" personal trainer seems hard, but Scott makes it easy! The best part about DPTFit is they know dancers. They know we have long days of classes and rehearsals. Their workouts are short and to the point, with enough variety to not wear you out and keep you entertained!

They break it down beautifully for you, like you're going to work for these 12 weeks on just extension height and then you're going to work on jump height and then you're going to work on your balances. So you're breaking down these huge goals into these bite-size pieces and it makes life so much easier and more manageable.
Christina Lindhout
He’s awesome! He catches things that other PT’s might not catch because of his knowledge about dancers. For the dancer, there is nothing better than a physical therapist who also specializes in dancers healing, progress and injury prevention.
Jessica Williamson
DPT Fit has amazing cross training programs for dancers. They will help your body become more balanced, strong, and injury free. I highly recommend DPT Fit's New Season New Heights and AA Glute Tuneup programs, as I saw drastic improvements over just 3 months.
Lauren Stenroos
After 8 weeks, I can see a huge difference in my dancing and my grand Allegro. I feel stronger! I feel like I can jump higher and then I just have more power behind it so it's made me feel really good about my dancing! It's made me just want to continue with the program to keep going further. I'm really excited about it!

Group Information and Equipment Guidelines

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.

Group 1:

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!

  • You could also run rather than use cardio equipment
  • Options to include steps, med balls, etc. included, but these are optional

Group 2:

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”

Group 3:

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”

  • You will still get cardio, but in the form of exercises, you can do in a single room. This option was made specifically for COVID and people who can’t easily get outside.

Group 4:

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.

  • If you need a band only option, please consider the co-ed options of group 2 or 3.” If you need a band only option, please consider the co-ed options of group 2 or 3.

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.
