Manage episode 327191014 series 2964945
In a second part to Season 2 Episode 1, Niall MacSweeney talks further in depth about the process of implementing S&C at White Lodge, Royal Ballet School. We discuss establishing a training system/program over the years, and how the program now works from Year 7 upwards as a result of being relatively recent. This episode considers specificity vs capacity, in strength and conditioning for dancers in training, with the dynamic correspondence theory. Niall touches on the key factors in dance of the Long Term Athlete Development model, with insight into the practicalities of this at Royal.
