The session will be led by:

• Erin Sanchez, Healthier Dancer Programme manager, DanceUK

The evening will include an introduction to the physiological effects of travel and jet lag, and the implications this can have on performance. The talk will focus on appropriate nutritional strategies and practical tips in order to plan and prepare effectively for optimal recovery, preparation for performance and maintenance of health of both the dancers and support team.

Share and learn from fellow dance professionals working in dance touring who strive to create healthy working environments in companies and theatres.

Background to the Business of Dance and other future events.
Dance UK’s The Business of Dance seminars, funded by Arts Council England, have been designed to be affordable and delivered so artists and managers are able to attend without having to take a day off work or out of the studio. The training is designed at two levels to respond to the needs of emerging dance managers, producers and self-managed artists, and secondly to experienced dance managers and leaders who want to maintain and develop their business skills focusing in more depth on specific topics.

The Business of Dance is presented in association with Independent Dance Managers Network (IDMN) and Sadler’s Wells. Thank you to Sadler’s Wells generously donating the venue for free.
