Dance Repair Shop

We began Dance Repair Shop (DRS) in the winter of 2013 in response to the lack of comprehensive care for dancers that results in unusually high injury rates and shortened careers. By bridging the gap between cutting edge Performance Enhancement protocols, Dance Medicine & Science research, and traditional training practices, we aim to help change the way the dance industry perceives dance training and training to dance.

In an effort to significantly reduce injury rates, improve physical and aesthetic performance, and extend the life of dancers’ careers we combine hands-on movement analyses and injury risk screening with customized performance enhancement programs tailored to the physical demands of individual dancers. To accomplish this, we have opened up our private training practice to pilot a small program where we work (primarily) with injured dancers; offering a discounted rate to those most in need.

We have worked with dancers from the following companies, institutions and productions:
