March 15, 2023 | POINTE SAFE CERTIFICATION COURSE
Pointe Safe Certification Course
10% off for IADMS Members!
We are so excited to offer IADMS members a discount on our upcoming Pointe Safe Certification, and registration is limited to ballet teachers. This course structure works well for teachers who are actively teaching pre-pointe or early pointe students.
Our next Pointe Safe Certification course for ballet teachers will be held in March 2023 at 9am PST. All courses will be held in English.
Pointe Safe is a convenient and rigorous 8 week live-online course meeting on Wednesdays at 9am PST, beginning March 15th. Teachers should allow one hour and 15 minutes for each of the online sessions. The material is dense but absorbable, and we strongly recommend re-watching the recording of the class in addition to attending live. Each week includes active assignments for the ballet class and teachers will be expected to post videos and thoughts related to their work in our teacher’s forum for discussion. Week 8 is dedicated to one-on-one exit interviews with Kendall Alway, DPT, founder of Pointe Safe, and the instructor during the course.
Course alumni will have lifelong access to the alumni forum, use of the Pointe Safe marketing materials and be listed on our website.
$610 is the full price for the course and IADMS members will receive a 10% discount bringing the course to $549. This discount will be applicable for this Spring's offering of Pointe Safe only. Members will need to list their IADMS member email in their intake form to secure the discount.

March 25 - 26, 2023 | THE MOVEMENT SCHOOL
Strength in Dance Introduction
Elmhurst Ballet School 249 Bristol Rd, Birmingham B5 7UH, United Kingdom
The Movement School acknowledges dancers as elite athletes and understands the various physical demands across all genres of the performing arts. This course will take you through a unique and functional approach to Dance Conditioning and Rehabilitation and will focus on re-educating movement patterns interrupted after injury and surgery and developing Dance Performance. You will learn a series of functional techniques that you can immediately use in your practice or lessons.
This movement re-patterning methodology has been developed to educate the neuromuscular and proprioceptive systems, not only on how to move, but how fast to move thereby enhancing movement efficiency, movement performance and injury prevention.
First, you will learn how to analyze movement patterns using the DMS Functional Movement Analysis. This will teach you how to spot uncontrolled, inefficient and compensatory movement.
You will then learn a series of techniques and exercises that are designed to develop motor control and improve overall functional movement. The movements are progressive from simple-to-advanced patterns and from low-level-to-high-level. You will learn and experience basic movement re-education to functional neuromuscular stimulation, to dynamic movement development.
