The Postgraduate Certificate in Optimisation of Health for Performance in Irish Dancers is a fully online programme aimed at Irish dancing teachers, parents, clinicians and older Irish dancers. The programme will focus on the many factors and issues that impact the wellness, and ultimately the performance, longevity and success of professional and competitive Irish dancers. These include a host of topics including musculoskeletal anatomy, injury risk, prevention and management; nutrition and diet; psychology of training and performance; the adolescent and older adult dancer; planning the dance calendar; sleep and travel; considerations for male dancers, and much more. Sessions will be delivered by international experts in these areas through a mix of live and recorded forums, and students will be encouraged to integrate their learning into class and/or personal practice settings. The programme is led by Dr Róisín Cahalan, ADCRG, former principal dancer with Riverdance, and the world’s leading researcher of Irish dancing health and wellness. Colleagues from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance will also contribute to the programme. If you have been looking for the missing puzzle pieces to build a stronger, better, more robust Irish dancer, this is the course for you.
