Hi, I’m Meredith
I work with dancers to help them enhance their dance technique through strength and conditioning training. My driving force is to ignite the same passion in young dancers that I feel for dance and movement, and for dancers to train with intention and the tools needed for success. I hold a B.A. in dance performance and education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and I have been teaching dance for 15+ years. I’ve been a dance educator in the public schools, dance company director, and private studio instructor. I have also performed with local dance companies in the DC, Baltimore and Maryland region. When I am not dancing or teaching dance, you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee, hiking outdoors, and spending time with my family.
My Approach
When I work with dancers, I lead our sessions with one thought in mind: To enhance our dance technique we must become stronger by training the proper muscles. The physical effects that dancing requires of the body demands that dancers train like Athletes. Dancers must have the tools and knowledge to support their dance technique through strength and conditioning. I train dancers with this approach to also help with injury prevention, and provide longevity in their dance careers.
Achieve your Goals
When I sit down with new clients, we discuss dance goals and what it is they hope to accomplish by working together. Each 1:1 session, workout, or training plan, is carefully crafted toward dancer success and goal achievement.
Build Confidence
My favorite side effect of working strategically alongside dancers is watching their confidence grow. I aspire to lead dancers toward finding joy and celebrating their successes each time we meet.
