Level of Performance in Classical Ballet and Olympic Development Programs. Overview compiled for the 2005 NYC Dance Teachers Convention.
- Biomechanics Pioneer Redefining Orthopedics: Biomechanical
analysis, correction and retraining focuses on the mechanical ideal in classical
ballet development, understanding the mechanism of joint stress and injury,
articular range of motion and alignment optimization.
Note:
Regarding the integration of yoga into your dance or sports development program,
SMSI clients are advised to contact me regarding integration of classical
alignment mechanics into all postures and modifications based on your ability
level.
Classical ballet based alignment postures have been integrated into the biomechanics program utilized with the Dancescience Development Program at the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts.

Injury Prevention
- Common Dance Injuries: Interactive injury information page. The Harkness Center for Dance Injuries: Hospital for Joint Diseases Othopaedic Institute.
Hot Yoga: Beware of any training environment where 100 - 105 degree air temperature is combined with high humidity, especially if their is insufficient air circulation. Generally, at 60 percent humidity sweat will
not evaporate. According to the U. S. Army Research Institute of Environmental
Medicine an air temperature of 95 degrees with 60
percent humidity has the same effect on your body (apparent air
temperature) as 114 degrees.
If
your thermoregulatory system is not conditioned to handle these environmental
challenges, the systemic stress can be significant and contribute to reduced
immune system function.
