If you are a dance instructor, personal trainer, fitness instructor, or other wellness professional, we hope you’ve come to this page because you’re fascinated by the human body, passionate about helping others, and want to bridge the gap between dance science and the studio in a way that is fun and accessible!

Conditioning and cross-training come in so many forms, how can we fit them all into our busy lives? We designed Ellové to pull the best practices from our 4 top disciplines (ballet, fitness, yoga, and Pilates) and put them into one class that is challenging and restorative. If you’re looking for a class that you can plug into a weekly schedule- whether that be for professional dancers or recreational students of all levels- Ellové provides a full-body, muscle-balancing workout that is adaptable and never gets boring!

Students love it because it flows seamlessly with the music, and gets results that immediately translate to their dancing or other sport.

Studio owners love it because it can be built into their schedule, equipment is optional, and it is a highly effective form of wellness training.

Instructors love it because they can teach it in dance studios, gyms, and universities… and they reap the physical benefits of Ellové every time they teach!

In every Ellové class, we address these fundamentals of injury risk reduction:

  • Alignment

  • Balanced muscle groups

  • Awareness: sensory, muscle activation, movement vs. stability, listening to the body, building slowly for safety

  • Varied planes of motion and movement patterns

  • Active stretching to strengthen flexibility

  • Connection to the breath

  • Control in full range of movement

  • Mental health, relationship to the body, self-care

Our instructors are our priority! We build relationships and provide a community for our instructors to continue their growth and knowledge. Upon completion of Ellové Instructor Training, instructors receive access to comprehensive online support that is updated monthly. Six months after training ( and completion of certification), instructor support subscription/licensing fee is $30 per month to maintain certification.
