• The strength and endurance of your muscles

  Dancers need strength, endurance and power for things like lifts, jumps, and travelling sequences. ​

  These tests will measure: ​

  • Core muscular endurance​

  • Upper body strength and endurance​

  • Lower limb power and endurance

• Your flexibility and range of motion ​
  

  These tests look at the flexibility of your muscles and the range of motion at your joints. This includes assessing for possible levels of hypermobility, which is often seen in dancers. ​

• Aerobic fitness ​

  Aerobic fitness is important for dancers to be able to perform long, high energy choreographies, for example. 
  
  To test for cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance, our experts use a treadmill test that looks at how well your body can sustain exercise over time. This is called a ‘V02 Max’ test andr equires you to wear a face mask and breath analyser.

• Body Composition 
  
  This assessment helps you to understand things like your muscle mass and body fat percentage, and their healthy ranges. ​

• Weaknesses​

• Tightness​

• Muscle imbalances

 This gives a dancer an understanding of factors that could affect their performance.
