Success Stories

This program changed the way I practice and teach stretching. It is a perfect educational program for everyone who wants to deepen their knowledge and become an expert in the field of stretching for dancers of all ages and all backgrounds. It also contains a convenient stretch curriculum that you can start using right away.

Martina Gojkosek

I was looking for a consistent stretch program to implement throughout my studio to all levels. I just started teaching this curriculum to my advanced students and have already seen little adjustments turn into huge results. This has come from a new awareness of my students’ own bodies and new cues that I had never used in 25 years of teaching. Totally recommended!

Sarah Malcolm-Klassen

I just want to let you know that we are still going strong and working on flexibility with your curriculum and have had so much success. In just a few short months, our dancers are really starting to show progress. I just want to thank you! We are so happy we came across your work to contribute to all the progress we have made in our studio.

I’m emailing you to tell you how much of an impact mUvmethod has had on my students during the lockdown. I am a Cheer & Dance Studio Owner in England with several international travel teams. Delivering the progressive curriculum over zoom during a long 4-month lockdown has been a game-changer for us!!!

All my dancers, tumblers, and cheerleaders from age 6+ have benefited SO much and love the curriculum. It’s been a godsend in keeping them motivated and actually teaching them something new and exciting!

Definitely the missing piece of the puzzle for us as a studio/gym.

Charlotte Bromilow

Since I started this program, I feel overall improvements in my body. I had a knee operation many years ago that affected my dance career. Because of my injury, I was constantly hesitant to push my dancers into deep stretches. I didn’t want anyone to become over-flexible and lose control of their ligaments. But now, with your program, I feel much more confident. I feel empowered and ready to pass on the knowledge because it’s backed by science and it doesn’t force dancers into positions that their bodies are not ready for. I am very pleased to have found mUvmethod and I cannot wait to start teaching the curriculum to all my dancers. Thank you for providing us with this incredible journey Christine!

FAQs

 

I personally cannot wait for you and your dancers to experience the TOTAL TRANSFORMATION in flexibility, mobility, and strength waiting for you!

My friends, dance has evolved. It’s time to throw outdated and underdeveloped warm-ups and stretch curriculums out the window. And implement safe and effective ones that meet the NEW and GROWING demands of dance.

DO NOT let another week, month, or year pass by before you finally update your weekly warm-ups and stretch sequences, and turn what you are already doing; warming up and stretching– into something that produces greater results in LESS TIME with LESS OVERWHELM!
