Dancer Nutrition Workshops

Helping Your Dancers Achieve Optimal Nutrition

Are your dancers not performing to their potential and you think it has something to do with what they are eating, or not eating?

Do you want to improve the health and performance of your dancers by giving them the nutrition skills and knowledge they need to bring their best selves to rehearsals and performance?

yes, tell me more

Nutrition Has It's Role

I know your dancers haven’t nailed their nutrition yet. Imagine what they could do and how they could dance if they understood how they could fuel to optimize performance

As a dance educator/studio owner or director, does this sound familiar?

  • Your dancers lack energy after long dance practices and performances
  • You wonder if the big Starbucks drinks they are bringing into class are really the best options to fuel their bodies…Surely there are better options out there for pre-dance nutrition
  • You want to provide them with the best learning opportunities to be stronger, better dancers
  • You would do anything to prevent one of your dancers from getting injured
  • Your dancers always complain about muscles soreness and you wonder if there is anything out there to help them…hello nutrition!

Know Where The Difference Lies

You Need Somebody Who Understands The Dancer World

You’ve been surrounded by dancers your whole life. You’ve seen good dancers, you’ve seen bad dancers and you know the one thing that differentiates the best dancers is connecting their mind, body and nutrition all together.

That’s where I come in. I might be biased by my passion for nutrition but I believe it can make the biggest impact on the health (and performance) of a dancer. You need somebody that understands the dancer world and can guide your dancers to use nutrition as a tool to optimize their training and performance.

Most dancers I speak too think they need to eat less carbs, lose more weight, train harder and longer to perform and be the best dancer they can be. I get it, dancers are under a lot of stress, and are pushed to maintain a certain body image. I’m here to tell you that nutrition is one of the best kept industry secrets to optimizing training and performance with faster recovery, less injuries and a longer, healthier career.

My nutrition workshops may be just what you are looking for!
