Unlock the Power
of Dance Science & Dance Medicine to build resilience, prevent injuries, and elevate your performance — for a long, self-determined career in dance
Join Me&MyBest Today!• Chronic or recurring injuries hold you back — and without real injury prevention in dance, the cycle never ends.
• You feel helpless without access to real dance medicine or dance science.
• You fear career-ending injuries, chronic pain, or simply being replaced by others.
• Endless training doesn’t bring consistent peak performance — instead, it leads to overtraining, burnout, and exhaustion.
• Recovery feels incomplete, draining your energy and motivation.
• Anxiety, pressure, and self-doubt affect your mental health, stealing the joy of dancing.
• Poor technique or lack of body-mind awareness leaves you stuck in frustrating plateaus.
• Without self-determined, self-directed training, you feel powerless instead of empowered.
• Outdated methods and vague wellness talk give no clear roadmap.
• And deep down, you wonder: What if I never reach my true potential?
• Imagine feeling strong, healthy, and free from chronic pain — confident in your ability to dance long-term.
• Imagine achieving peak performance in dance with resilience, consistency, and energy that lasts.
• Imagine replacing exhaustion with balance, where passion and health work together in harmony.
• Imagine using dance science and dance medicine as your roadmap — practical, proven knowledge designed for dancers.
• Imagine mastering injury prevention, so setbacks no longer derail your progress.
• Imagine feeling mentally resilient and calm under pressure — your dance mental health is a source of strength, not struggle.
• Imagine training smarter through performance enhancement strategies rooted in dance anatomy and awareness.
• Imagine shaping your career with self-directed training that empowers you to take control of your path.
• Imagine connecting deeply with your body, every movement guided by clarity and mastery.
• Imagine a career that is long, healthy, and truly self-determined — filled with empowerment, artistry, and freedom of expression.
The gap between struggle and empowerment isn’t as wide as it feels.
You don’t need to keep pushing through pain, guessing at recovery, or hoping outdated training advice will finally work. The tools to prevent injuries, enhance performance, strengthen your mental health, and build resilience already exist — in the proven fields of dance science and dance medicine.
That’s exactly why we created Me&MyBest – Dance Science & Dance Medicine for (Pre-)Professional Dancers: a program designed for dancers of all styles who refuse to let a lack of knowledge and self-determination leading to burnout, injury, stress, or fear dictate their careers.
Inside, you’ll find the practical strategies, empowering knowledge, and self-directed roadmap that transform frustration into freedom, and doubt into confidence.
Because you deserve more than just to perform — you deserve to thrive as much as the thousands of other dancers we’ve empowered with this course over nearly 20 years.
A practical, science-based course designed for (pre-)professional dancers of all styles who want to thrive — not just survive.

And our wonderful community with dancers like you — waiting for you to enjoy collaborative learning.
Science of Training
3 Lectures are dedicated to essential information on science of training. Among the topics covered are fitness for dancers, training principles, planning of training, transitions in a dancer's life, nutrition, or (neuromuscular) warm-up and cool-down. We are going to take a look at how all these aspects are interrelated, but also, how they are depending on your knowledge and proactive implementation of all you are learning in other lectures, such as self-talk, self-image, motor imagery, anatomy and physiology, and so many more.
Anatomy & Biomechanics
Enjoy studying with direct relation to your dance technique, training and life: In the passionate way she is known for, Judith-Elisa Kaufmann brings anatomy and biomechanics to life in 4 lectures: Experience the sensation of knowledge which you can "feel and use" every day. Everything you learn is directly transferred to your praxis, and you will love to realize the difference it makes to your dance technique, performance, and injury prevention. Experience the motivation which comes from moving through your daily dance routines and finding out, how powerful, fulfilling and satisfying it is "to know".
Neuroscience & Psychology
Mental strength, thought- and stress-management, resulting resilience and levels of mental health count among the most important assets in life. However, research has shown how low mental health is in so many dancers. Hence, lets look at learning, coping skills, eating psychology, self-determination, goal setting, communication, conflict managment, or motivation together from a preventive point of view: what can YOU do yourself to prevent mental health problems and instead, how can you deal with performance anxiety, stress, perfectionism, negative self-talk, limiting beliefs, or low self-image to prevent mental health issues.
Prevention & First Aid
Prevention of injuries and overtraining is a top priority in dance and thus, one of the two aspects, Me&MyBest is dedicated to (the other is to make you the strongest self you could wish to be!). 2 lectures cover essential knowledge on handling of pain, rest, workload, first aid for acute injury, and the importance of self-care, rehabilitation, recovery and prevention of overuse. Investing in your self-care and prevention is one of the smartest things you can do for yourself — and we show you how!
Community & Future
Learning is what our brain loves most and thus, one of the coolest things to do. It is a self-organized, fascinating process and we love to support you and your learning experience throughout your course and beyond, hoping to make you hungry for knowledge and burning to explore the infinite potential you will discover you have.
