Aligned: Neuro Tools for Dancers

Aligned: Neuro Tools for Dancers

Dance has always been about precision, artistry, and passion. But behind every beautifully executed movement lies a complex system — your brain and nervous system. Aligned: Neuro Tools for Dancers app bridges the gap between traditional dance training and the powerful insights of applied neurology, giving dancers and teachers practical tools to unlock new levels of technique, control, and injury resilience.

This isn’t a replacement for the training you know and love — it’s an enhancement. Built on my decades of experience working with dancers, and deepened by the latest in neuroscience, Aligned offers a practical, dancer-friendly way to explore how vision, balance, proprioception, and the brain’s own protective mechanisms all influence how you move. Whether you’re aiming to refine your technique, reduce pain, or simply understand your body and brain better, you’ll find tools here you can integrate into your dance life right away.

The Aligned app is growing all the time, with new content added regularly to help dancers and teachers stay curious and informed. Inside, you’ll find resources not just for building foundational knowledge, but also for tackling common technique challenges and exploring practical strategies you can try in class or rehearsal. Because understanding why things work — not just how — empowers dancers to train smarter, protect their bodies, and unlock their full potential. Shifting the mindset about how the body and brain work together can transform both your dancing and your teaching in ways you might not expect.

Aligned goes beyond dance technique alone. Becoming a better mover isn’t just about what happens in class — it shapes how you feel and function in everyday life. The way your brain processes vision, balance, and body awareness affects not only how you turn or balance on stage, but also how you move through your day, manage stress, and stay injury-free. Training your nervous system helps build patterns that support both your dance and your overall health, giving you tools for a stronger, more resilient body and mind in every part of your life.
