Success Stories

Hear from dancers who have transformed their dance with our programs.
“As a professional dancer in multiple styles, I struggled with knee pain for 10 years until I found Dr. Scott. His personalized exercises, specifically tailored for dancers, have made me stronger and more stable than ever. Dr. Scott’s attentive care and thoughtful progressions have truly transformed my dance. I highly recommend DPT to all my dancer friends!”

Emily H

“As a contemporary dance student, I found Dance Performance Training’s program transformative. It seamlessly fits systematic strength training into my busy schedule, maintaining my whole body while focusing on specific goals. Dr. Scott’s guidance makes it feel like a personalized program, even in a group setting. Highly recommended for dancers seeking goal-oriented cross-training.”

Jennie S

“As both a ballet dancer and kinesiology student, I found Dr. Scott’s program incredibly efficient and effective. It significantly improved my lower body strength and stability, boosting my confidence and performance. I also discovered new warm-ups and routines that have benefited my dance career’s longevity. I highly recommend this program to any dancer aiming to take their skills to the next level.”

Hanne J

“As a member of the USF Sundolls Dance Team, I struggled with back and ankle pain during weight-based exercises. Working with Dr. Scott, I corrected my bad habits and learned new strength training techniques, boosting my confidence and performance. I highly recommend Dance Performance Training for teams and individuals looking to enhance their training.”

Asia B

“As a member of the USF Sundolls Dance Team, I struggled with back and ankle pain during weight-based exercises.

Ellie L

As a competitive Irish dancer, I knew strength training was key, but struggled to see results on my own. Dr. Scott’s programs not only improved my kick height but also enhanced my day-to-day well-being. The program’s structured, adaptable exercises fit perfectly with my dance schedule, making it ideal for dancers at any level seeking that extra push.

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.
