Aims

This module aims to develop a fundamental understanding of applied anatomy, physical health, conditioning and remedial practices in relation to maximising students’ full physical potential within their technical training. Study on this module also supports students’ continued success in a demanding professional training environment and subsequent professional career.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Students on this module will each undergo a physical diagnostic examination at the start of the module, to identify key postural issues and muscular imbalances. This will inform the main focus of continued learning and remedial practice as students will utilise knowledge gained through subsequent lectures and practical sessions to address and improve their individual physical limitations. Delivery will also include foundations in nutrition, injury management/prevention, performance psychology and Pilates reformer work. This will increase students’ physical and technical ability within all dance technique practices and performance. Sports psychology and nutrition will be introduced.
Module Overview:
This module begins with a one-to-one physical diagnostic to identify individual postural issues and muscular imbalances that could hinder improvements across technical training. In class, students learn about applied anatomy, physical health, sports psychology, nutrition, conditioning and remedial practices alongside other supportive holistic approaches, in order to prepare students for safe practice and continued success in a physically demanding professional training environment and subsequent career.
