Geek Out with Siobhan!

Avoiding Injury Through Science & Structure

Belly Dance Geek Clubhouse Episode #74: 
My guest, Siobhan Camille will talk with us about current scientific research as it relates to (belly) dance injury.

 

Belly dance allows us an outlet to express ourselves while keeping active at the same time. However, too often as dancers, do we spend all our time loving the dance, but neglecting to maintain the condition of our bodies to keep up with our graceful, strong, and at times athletic movements?
 


 

You’ll learn:

  • What we know about injury in (belly) dance according to current scientific research
  • 4 top tips for injury prevention in your own practice
  • How to structure warm-ups and, cool-downs and general classes for optimal performance and injury prevention

We’ll also have some discussion time, so you can ask Siobhan your questions.
