Description
Parents, this is YOUR webinar!
Have you ever felt the dance world has its very own rules? That – somehow bewildering – puberty and maturation often appear not to be welcomed at all, that preserving a prepubescent body is one of your kid’s top goals?
But what makes a successful and strong dancer? And when we say ’strong’ we mean both mentally and physically.
This first webinar of our parent series will touch on
- Timing of puberty: what should happen when and why
- Why does trying to preserve a prepubescent body most often lead to low energy availability (LEA)? And how LEA affect mental and physical maturation? What do injuries and mental health issues have to do with LEA?
- What does growing up as a dancer in a world that’s normalized to be unhappy with one’s body mean for young dancers today? How can you, as parent, support your kid(s) to build a healthy relationship with food and their bodies?
- The physiological differences between your young dancer and the kid next door who doesn’t like to engage in physical activity.
- Why young dancers’ needs are the same as those of young adolescent athletes.
- How can you nurture curiosity around health and performance?
- What’s the ’Busy-Day-Syndrome’?
- How to spot a nurturing versus a relentless training environment. And what to do.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you soon!
