When I First Started Teaching...
I felt like a broken record.
“Engage your core.”
“Lift taller.”
“Rotate from the hip.”
​
Some students would fix things instantly. Others? No matter how many times I corrected, they stayed stuck. Frustrated. Even discouraged.
​
At first, I thought maybe they weren’t trying hard enough. ​But over time, I realized something different: their bodies were telling me a story I didn’t yet know how to read.
Once I learned to see the anatomy underneath the movement, everything changed..
My corrections landed, my students improved, and class felt lighter for everyone. They were actually "getting it." What if your students finally understood why their bodies move the way they do?
Move beyond repeating the same corrections, and start teaching from the inside out.
Help your students understand their alignment, develop more body awareness, and understand technique from a scientific lens.
That’s the transformation Anatomy for Dancers is built to give you. Instead of repeating the same cues and hoping they stick, you’ll:
-
Know exactly what’s happening under the skin when a dancer moves by learning the human body functions, muscles, and bones
-
Adapt your teaching to different bodies instead of forcing all students into one mold so you can analyze dance movement with a critical eye and know the differences in their bodies
-
Cue with precision so students actually feel the difference and understand the first time you say it
-
Leave class energized because you’re helping dancers unlock their potential - not hitting the same roadblocks.
This course is for teachers and dancers who want to go deeper than “just try harder.”
-
You teach ballet, jazz, or contemporary and care about alignment, strength, and artistry.
-
You’ve seen talented students hit frustrating walls and you want to guide them through.
-
You’ve never had formal anatomy training—or the training you had felt dry, scientific, and not connected to dance.
-
You want to teach with clarity and compassion while still getting real results.
Why do some of your students have great turnout and others don't?
No matter their age or experience level, one student just won't catch up to the other.
Is it strength? Is it laziness? Are they not practicing outside of class?
it's their anatomy!
This isn’t about memorizing every muscle in the body. It’s about learning anatomy through the lens of movement—so it actually sticks and actually matters.
