Praxis Hundert Prozent – Appointment
Since 2014, I have been involved in international projects worldwide at the interface of dance and health. In order to make this commitment sustainable, I founded the non-profit association Urban Dance Health e.V. The aim is to set long-term impulses in local communities through dance-based health promotion. The projects are taking place in the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea and Brazil, among other places, and have already had a noticeable impact there. A documentary film documents these international missions and gives impressive insights into the work of the association.
About
In order to make findings from research and practice accessible, I have published numerous articles in medical journals – with a focus on dance physiotherapy. The focus is on the transfer of dance-specific training and therapy experiences to the physiotherapy and sports science community.
Trade magazines such as physiopraxis also reported on my work as a dance physiotherapist as well as on concepts for prevention and performance optimization in professional dance.
Since 2014, I have also been involved in sports and dance medicine research. In cooperation with the University of Stuttgart and the German Sport University Cologne, numerous scientific publications have been produced.
