Winter Wellness Dancer Workshop, Feb 8, 10:15am -11:15 am

Feet First: Caring for the Dancer’s Foot

Presenters: Fred Raynor, Applied Biomechanics and Heather Finn, Speed River Physiotherapy

As dancers we often train and dance barefoot, so the footwear we choose outside of dance is very important for foot mechanics, relative rest and recovery. In this workshop we will review foot anatomy and mechanics during walking, running and dancing, learn basic taping strategies to support our feet, and answer all your questions about feet, footwear and orthotics.

Open to:

– Young Company and GYD Company members

– Any GYD dancers age 12+

– All GYD teachers

Guelph Youth Dance Studio, 42 Quebec Street

Free!
