# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Dance Educator & Shaping the Dance Health Ecosystem - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 26 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 pm - **Event Description**: A virtual and in-person 3-part seminar series helping dance educators support dancer health, growth, and performance with practical tools.About this EventThis event is virtual & in-Person Over the years, across conversations and questions with educators, a theme has been consistent: It is not that educators need more information. It's turning information into language, structure, observation, and action.This series was built from those questions and the conversations we always wish we had more time for.This course is designed for dance educators who want a clearer, more practical way to support dancer health within their everyday teaching. It brings together concepts around training, growth, pain, and performance into one cohesive learning experience, with an emphasis on what to do in real time.We will focus on building common language, simple decision-making tools, and class and community based strategies that help educators guide dancers and families through the changing demands of training, enhancing communication and education around injury, and helping the dance educator advocate for the human in their spaces.7/12/2026 - PART I: Play, Preparation, & Performance7/19/2026 - PART II: Guiding the Growing Dancer7/24/2026 - PART III: Pain, Load Management, & Decision MakingSESSION 1 ?: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AM7/12/2026 - PART I: Play, Preparation, & Performance - Arrive and Meet?: 09:00 AM - 12:00 PMThe Artist, The Athlete, and the HumanInfo: In this lecture, we’ll explore how dancers learn and adapt within today’s dance training environment, and why the same correction or class structure may not work the same way for every dancer. Using concepts from ecological dynamics and physical literacy, we’ll look at how technique, environment, expectations, fatigue, and experience shape movement development over time. Let's understand how small changes in structure, cueing, and movement experiences can support learning, coordination, confidence, and long-term development.?: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMThe RAMP Warm-Up Principles, Athletic Motor Skill Competencies + Movement LabInfo: We’ll reframe the warm-up as more than preparation. It becomes a consistent entry point for developing strength, coordination, and movement awareness over time. Building on physical literacy, we'll use the RAMP framework and athletic motor skill competency principles. This section demonstrates how we can embed athletic movement ideas and concepts into what we are already doing in class.SESSION 2?: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AM7/19/2026 - PART II: Guiding the Growing Dancer - Arrive and Meet!?: 09:00 AM - 09:45 AMGrowth & Maturation in the Context of DanceInfo: This seminar focuses on the growing dancer as a changing human system, not a fixed body expected to perform the same way every week. We will explore how growth and maturation can temporarily influence flexibility, coordination, balance, strength, recovery, confidence, and pain sensitivity, while also considering the realities and context of early specialization and today’s dance training culture.?: 09:45 AM - 11:00 AMExpanding on RAMP and AMSC PrinciplesInfo: We will explore movement progressions and how concepts like physical literacy and RAMP can become ongoing entry points for movement education, resilience, and long-term development. What movements are safe? Do we completely stop? What conditions might necessitate continued exposure vs cessation of loading??: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMCommunication Considerations & Strategies. Info: This section explores how educators can support growing dancers through clearer communication, observation, and shared language. The focus is not on diagnosis, but on helping educators recognize change, guide conversations with dancers and families, and create environments where dancers feel safe enough to speak up early and adapt through periods of growth and transition.SESSION 3?: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AM7/24/2026 - PART III: Pain, Load Management, & Decision Making - Arrive & Meet?: 09:00 AM - 09:45 AMLoad Management: Realities & PracticalitiesInfo: This section explores the load management conversation as more than simply tracking hours or reducing activity. We will discuss the realities of physical, cognitive, and emotional demands across training and performance seasons. Using concepts such as allostatic load, the “cup analogy,” RPE/RIR, we will discuss changing load tolerance, identify periods of increased demand, and make small adjustments before dancers reach a breaking point.?: 09:45 AM - 11:00 AMNavigating Pain & CommunicationInfo: This section explores pain as a biopsychosocial experience shaped by the body, mind, environment, and culture surrounding the dancer. We will discuss topics such as hypermobility, fatigue, care-seeking behaviors, and the emotional side of injury, while helping educators better understand how dancers interpret and communicate what they are feeling. Practical frameworks such as the Rule of 3s, Traffic Light system, and wellness check-in strategies like Hooper-Mackinnon will help educators guide conversations, support decision-making, and create environments where dancers feel safer speaking up early.?: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMSeasonal Load & Decision-Making LabInfo: This movement and lecture lab applies the concepts from the seminar to real-world dance schedules and training demands. Educators will work through red, yellow, and green light scenarios while examining individual and group considerations across a season, including rehearsals, performances, competitions, academics, and recovery demands. The focus is on helping educators build clearer observation skills, improve communication around load and fatigue, and develop practical strategies for adjusting training while keeping dancers engaged in the learning process. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/laguna-hills/the-dance-educator-and-shaping-the-dance-health-ecosystem/100001989393981953 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, art, virtual, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: DANCEPREHAB Physical Therapy & Performance (Lake Forest) - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 160, max: 875, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Laguna Hills - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: DANCEPREHAB Physical Therapy & Performance (Lake Forest) - **lat**: 33.62760310000001 - **long**: -117.731175 - **full address**: DANCEPREHAB Physical Therapy & Performance (Lake Forest), 23011 Moulton Parkway, Laguna Hills, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Dance Educator & Shaping the Dance Health Ecosystem - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fd9874923b7b51dd85b285fcb8e3eff2ba49aa6b81db5fc6c6ed9fb7cecb13a4-rimg-w1200-h870-dcd9d9d9-gmir.jpg?v=1778736966 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Dance Educator & Shaping the Dance Health Ecosystem being held? - **A:** The Dance Educator & Shaping the Dance Health Ecosystem takes place on Sun, 12 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sun, 26 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 pm at DANCEPREHAB Physical Therapy & Performance (Lake Forest), 23011 Moulton Parkway, Laguna Hills, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Dance Educator & Shaping the Dance Health Ecosystem? - **A:** The Dance Educator & Shaping the Dance Health Ecosystem is organized by Dr. Robert Tsai, PT, DPT. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
