Claire Farmer’s Dance Injury App Survey
Recently, I received an email from Claire Farmer, founder of Dance Longer Dance Stronger (and who has guest blogged for ABP a few times) and she’s conducting market research to support a funding application to create a dance injury app. Her goal is to create something that easily enables dancers to find resources and specialist dance injury care by just asking a few simple questions.
Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F9WZZWB.

Updated Studio Guide + Request for New Studio Listings and Reviews
We now have a total of 60 studio listings on the website, which is fantastic. I’ve finally caught up with adding all the studios I had backlogged from submissions from awhile back. Now that I’ve finally gotten that done, I’m looking for more studio submissions! You can submit the studio you take classes at, the studio you own as well as reviews for studios.
This time around, I’m looking for a little bit more information on your part to help make the submissions even better and more accurate (as well as make my life a bit easier and get the submissions up even faster!) If you want submit a review and there’s no listing yet, please create a submission for that, too!
You can use this form to submit a studio for a listing (which anyone can do!):

Improving Petit Allegro Jumps with Kathyrn Morgan
One of the biggest things I personally struggle with is jumping, especially because while I was injured I was banned from doing any jumping, so I have less practice in it than anything else.
In this video, dancer Kathryn Morgan gives tricks and tips for helping you jump higher, faster, and better. They’ll also help to strengthen your calves and ankles!

Adult Ballet Community On Facebook
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I just wanted to let everyone know that our little Facebook Adult Ballerina community has grown to 211 members! If you want to join, just send me a request over at https://www.facebook.com/groups/adultballerinas/ and I’ll add you!
I’m also trying to organize a list of adult ballerina blogs and social media links over there, so if you want to find more of your fellow adult ballerinas, that’s a great place to start!
