About This Event

Join Great Falls Pilates and Great Falls Physical Therapy for an exclusive small-group workshop designed to help dancers build strength, control, alignment, and body awareness while identifying movement patterns that may contribute to injury.

ONE-HOUR CLASSICAL REFORMER FOR DANCERS

Led by Ashley Rose, MPH, MSMS, PA-C Great Falls Pilates

Dancers will participate in a one-hour Classical Pilates Reformer class specifically geared toward the demands of dance. Drawing on her background as a dancer, Classical Pilates instructor, and physician assistant specializing in spine care, Ashley will guide dancers through Reformer work focused on strength, stability, alignment, mobility, control, and body awareness that translate directly to dance technique and performance.

INDIVIDUAL DANCE INJURY SCREENINGS

With Dr. Mary Jean Stack, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS Great Falls Physical Therapy

Each dancer will receive an individualized movement and injury-risk screening to identify areas of weakness, mobility limitations, asymmetries, or movement patterns that may contribute to pain or injury. A former dancer and orthopedic physical therapist, Dr. Stack understands the unique physical demands of dance and how to support both performance and long-term musculoskeletal health.
