What Dancers Have to Say”
As a competitive Irish dancer, I knew strength training was key, but struggled to see results on my own. Dr. Scott’s programs not only improved my kick height but also enhanced my day-to-day well-being. The program’s structured, adaptable exercises fit perfectly with my dance schedule, making it ideal for dancers at any level seeking that extra push.
When my daughter, a dancer, faced a severe injury, we were fortunate to find Dr. Scott. His expertise in dance and physical therapy led to her swift recovery. He communicates in ways no other PT could, focusing on her specific needs and patiently guiding her back to dance. Dr. Scott has been essential to her recovery, and we couldn’t recommend him enough!
The program is really complete, with the strength, conditioning, and mobility days. I discovered new exercises and ways to work my body. By the end, I was feeling really in shape, and my extensions got higher. My ankle strength was better (I gained jump time!) and more stable. I felt more powerful in my grand allegro while developing foot strength (pointing my feet in the air). Dr Scott is just so nice and helpful, and so are the programs!

Review the information below to find out which track is the right one for you. You can also watch this video that walks you through the options.
Once you have chosen your track you can submit the form at the bottom of this page. Select one and only one option, please.
If you have access to equipment such as free weights, any cardio equipment (rower, stairs, treadmill, bike, etc.), and other things common in a fitness center, “Group 1” is for you!
If you’re primarily doing this at home, with resistance bands (though a few small weights can easily be added if you have them), but still can use stairs, bike, run, or have some cardio equipment access, select “Group 2”
Lastly, If you don’t like to run, and don’t have access to any cardio (no stairs, bikes, or lap pools) then the last option is for you! “Group 3”
This program is made specifically for the demands of male dancers, taking into account some extra work for upper body to support partnering, extra stability for the lower back, etc. This option is similar to group 1 in terms of equipment need.
No track is better than the other, you will get results regardless. You can find more information about the equipment requirements for each track by scrolling down.
