The Healthy Dancer: Spotting the Signs of Overtraining
🗓 Thursday, October 22
⏰ 10AM-11AM PCT/ Vancouver Time
💻 Online via Zoom
What happens when a dancer’s commitment to training starts to push beyond what their body can sustainably handle?
Erika Mayall - Physiotherapist MPT, HBSc(Kin), CAFCI, FCAMPT - will explore the signs and impacts of overtraining in dancers, helping educators recognize when increased training demands may be affecting a dancer’s physical and mental well-being. Together, we’ll look at practical ways educators can support healthy training habits, identify potential red flags, and create environments that prioritize long-term dancer health alongside performance and progress.
This session will help you:
Recognize common signs and symptoms of overtraining
Better understand how training load, recovery, and stress can affect dancers
Identify when a dancer may need additional support
Explore practical strategies for promoting healthier training and recovery habits
Come ready to learn, reflect, and add another set of tools to your educator toolkit.
Early Rates on until October 8 | TDLI Members: Session included in membership
