Everyone wants the big name guest instructor to help promote their dance program. But what if your students raved about you because you introduced something different that changed how they took care of themselves ... in and out of the dance room?

IN PERSON & ONLINE WORKSHOPS
FOR
DANCE TEACHERS & STUDENTS

People don't remember what you do, they remember how you made them feel.

Anxiety is rising. Dance is more competitive than ever. And comparison culture? It’s everywhere.

That's why Class for the Heart STUDIO workshops offer holistic wellness experiences integrating mind and body - This is the workshop your students knew they needed, but didn't know where to find it.

For teachers ready to shake things up and lead the way, there’s professional development that goes beyond syllabus and technique. It's anatomy insights that will change, for example, how you teach hamstrings stretches and condition the core. It teaches building psychologically safe classes, integrating nervous system regulation strategies, and support your students to become resilient, self-aware performers — all without adding extra hours to your week (you'd be corect thinking this really does align with new Child Safety standards around wellbeing).

 

Stay current. Stay covered. And lead with confidence

 the #classfortheheart DANCER workshop

Wellness

Do your dancers know:

  • how posture impacts emotions

  • how breath impacts the nervous system & emotions

  • what a body scan is?

They say dancers learn a lot more than just dance in class. Oh yes they will.

Connection

Do your dancers know:

  • to do what feels right in their body

  • why closing eyes to stretch reduces comparison​

  • they can condition mind & body simultaneously?

The class for the heart mindset sounds a little different but still has your dancers becoming flexible, strong, while fine-tuning alignment.

Body Knowledge

Do your dancers know:

  • how proprioceptors impact flexibility

  • how breath impacts core strength

  • the attachments point of their hamstrings?

Let's turn the music down and educate our future dancers ... one body for life remember.

Cindy holds a wealth of knowledge essential to young dance artists.

Safe dance practice ensures longevity and sustainability in these dancer's careers which is enforced in Cindy's teaching practice.

Your students /TEACHERS

We can’t thank Cindy enough and can’t wait to welcome her back!

We absolutely loved welcoming Cindy at GC Dance! Cindy brought her beautiful ‘Class For The Heart’ program to our Ballet Excellence students, working with varying age groups and tailoring the content appropriately. Students left feeling mindful and centred, with new stretching and mindset techniques that will serve them a lifetime. 

Thank you, Cindy, for your wealth of knowledge and for creating a nurturing learning environment.

Cindy introduced our students to a whole new realm of self-development through the importance of breath work. Our students felt safe in her presence to experiment with new ideas, all whilst gaining an understanding of how it could all relate back to their studies as dancers.

Cindy supported and guided students through the movements and stretches, catering for a range of abilities.

The class was calming and allowed for a beautiful connection between body and mind. By the end we were so relaxed and calm we were close to falling asleep! I will definitely be getting her back again!

What a beautiful, calming experience our students had, with our Class for the Heart workshop.

What a beautiful, calming experience our students had, with our Class for the Heart workshop. Cindy’s breathing and stretching techniques were just what our students needed after a huge day of dance. Our Students finished the class feeling refreshed and calm physically and mentally. Can’t wait to have Cindy join us again soon.

Cindy is extremely knowledgable yet keeps her class accessible to all.

It was nice to combine the theory and practical to be able to put the learnings directly into practice.

Some free stuff would be kind of nice

Crunches, sit-ups ... if you're sick of doing them ... GREAT. They aren't the best things to do to get a killer core anyway. Here's what I do instead ...get your refresh on basic anatomy that makes all the difference.
