I am going to the dance psychology conference in Birmingham on Friday 29 November 2013: Beyond the body: Psychological tools for performance enhancement and well-being in dance
This conference is intended for dancers, teachers, support staff and sports and dance medical practitioners. The agenda looks very interesting and presentations are grouped together under the following headings:
Psychological challenges of dance training and careers
Injury career transition and identity
Psychological tools to improve well-being and performance in training and careers
There are also breakout sessions offering practical skills for dancers and leaders and these, I am sure, will be of great interest to teachers and dancers.
It would be lovely to see the dance teaching profession well represented at this conference. Perhaps I will see you there?
Full details of the conference and online booking are available here.
