The Brazily Dance Experience - Dance your way to confidence! Andre & Mariana Santos 

This session is designed to shift your mindset when it comes to dance fitness. You’ll learn about how dance fitness instructors can create a deeper connection with participants and build a stronger community by focusing more on the confidence-boosting effects dance has to offer and the ripple effect this can have in people’s lives. Over the years, dance fitness classes have adopted a “push play, and go” mentality and it seems like burning as many calories as possible has become the number one priority. And while burning calories while having fun is great, it doesn’t compare to the other amazing benefits of dance. You’ll also get to experience a Brazily Dance MasterClass and learn about how Brazilian music and dance along with our exclusive formula will change the dance fitness game!

Using SMR and Vibration Methods for Healthy Fascia Recovery - Kennedy Lodato 

Connective tissue, ECM (Extra-Cellular-Matrix), or "Fascia", as we most often refer to it, is the single most important organ in regard to systemic and physical health. Fascia interconnects all your organ systems, organs, every vein, every artery, every individual nerve and nerve bundles. As an example; ever wonder why your heart doesn’t end up in your gut when you’re put into an inverted position? It’s Fascia holding it in place. It literally holds us together physically, and also provides a body-wide communication system for body awareness, better known as proprioception. 

 

Join us as we dive into a better understanding of Fascia, and introduce how SMR and Percussive Vibration can contribute to the health of Fascia, and to it's recovery from sport, exercise and everyday activities. We'll define SMR, touch on myths and facts, and discuss appropriate applications for this intervention (or treatment).
