STRONGER: Injury Prevention & Sustainable Training for Dancers

Dancers are trained to push harder, stretch further, and perform through discomfort—but rarely are we taught how to protect our bodies and sustain our careers. The STRONGER Workshop, presented by THRIVE Artists’ Group | Arts + Mental Health, was created to change that.

This dynamic workshop blends movement education, injury prevention strategies, somatic awareness, and mental wellness tools to help dancers train smarter, reduce injury risk, and build long-term resilience in their bodies and minds. Whether you're a professional, educator, or student, STRONGER provides practical tools you can immediately apply to your training and teaching.

⚠️ Space is extremely limited.
To maintain an intimate, hands-on learning environment, only 30 participants will be accepted, and all tickets must be purchased in advance. Registration is first come, first served, and once spots are filled, the workshop will close.

If you're ready to strengthen your practice, support your body, and invest in your longevity as a dancer, secure your spot now—you won’t want to wait.
