Functional Conditioning for Dancers

Ricky Nater has been a functional patterns practitioner for 3 years and a dancer for almost 20. Combining his understanding of movement and dance, he’s created a system where dancers can understand:

• Why they move the way they do
• How to condition their bodies to drastically limit their risk of getting injured
• How to create movement more intentionally

• how to condition their bodies to drastically limit their risk of getting injured
• how to create movement more intentionally

With this concept, we touch on your posture outside of dancing and how to correct it so that you can get the most out of your body when you are in motion. This also helps with fascia hydration and muscle strengthening in a functional dynamic so that when you ask your body to move - it works the way it’s supposed to with minimal risk of injury.

Joel & Maria are outstanding teachers!!!! They have the patience of showing you the moves as many times as you need until you feel good with it. If you want to learn to dance this is the best way. Maria & Joel do it because they are passionate about salsa and like to share it with the people that would like to learn.

Best salsa dance school out there. Took a private with Maria and she pointed out some of the finer points of salsa dancing that I was missing. Decided to give the group classes a try, and haven't looked back since. Both Maria and Joel are excellent instructors, very patient, and never hesitant to walk on over to help you out.

I was immediately impressed with Maria & Joel's professionalism, expertise, and passion they had in their teaching of Salsa. It's very important for me that a teacher is clear with their direction & instruction of the salsa steps, that they are experienced with mistakes usually experienced on the dance floor!

I watch their online tutorials from AZ. They are very, very knowledgeable. They explain the happenings behind the moves very well. Especially musicality, which makes it easier to understand the music and enjoy the dance.
