Meet Your Instructor

As a certified personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and health coach, Kendall brings a holistic approach to dancers' wellbeing and training. Having earned a BA in Dance Science and MSc in Dance Science, her well-rounded knowledge allows her to assess and train dancers that focus on the whole body - mentally and physically.

Kendall has completed several classes in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, motor control and learning, psychology, nutrition, and exercise physiology. She has also experience conducting dance science research related to self-efficacy and perfectionism in online dance classes, which is why this online course is entirely designed according to textbook principles and current dance science research.

Do I need access to a gym for these plans?

Nope! All training plans can be completed entirely at home. However, you do need some equipment. The required equipment for both programs includes resistance bands, yoga blocks (or books/stools), a chair, and space to move. Optional equipment includes dumbbells and kettlebells.
My schedule changes every week. What if I can't do the workouts?

That's okay! After you complete a workout, you'll get access to the next workout. Once you log a workout, you will have access to it for as long as you stay in the training plan. You can always go back and repeat a workout or keep it for future reference.
Will a training plan like this actually help me get better at technique?

Absolutely. We've trained dancers with these workouts for years, and they can truly feel a difference in their technique during class AND their efforts are rewarded with higher scores at dance competitions. Keep scrolling further on this page to read what others have to say about our training!
Are there any live classes in the course?

The workouts are not live, but you do have the option to contact Kendall via email or in-app messaging for direct feedback on your dance technique or exercises.
