Our Story

Becoming the people we needed the most

Would you still be dancing if???

How many of us needed help that was not available when we were growing dancers?

How many of us as teachers now struggle to find the help that our dancers need?  

 

We began as a conversation among friends and have grown into a vibrant community of dancers, teachers, and specialists who are all passionate about nurturing young dancers into happy, healthy, and thriving adults with a lifelong love for their art. Our board is made up of dedicated professionals, including physical therapists, movement coaches, nutritionists, pointe shoe fitters, doctors, scientists, and teachers with specialized training. We are all committed to making the world of dance a happier and safer place.  

 

DanseMedica was founded in 2019. While we are still finding our voice as a business, we remain committed to the community and we welcome you to the new chapter in our journey! We're excited to offer you a video library and discussion forum packed with the latest information and training to help you support your dancers and contribute to the growth of our community.
