Musical Theatre Dance: Singing Assessment and Plan of Care

Course overview

When it comes to dancers who also sing, it is rightfully assumed that vocal therapists, ENTs, voice teachers, vocal coaches, and other experts specializing in voice care would be the appropriate professionals to consult. However, recent evidence and practice have shown that physical therapists have gradually become an essential component of promoting vocal health. Given that singing requires proper posture, a flexible body that maintains the health and openness of the vocal cords, and supportive breathing, it is logical to recognize the potential benefits of physical therapy for singers. In this course, clinicians will acquire the necessary skills to provide physical therapy specifically designed for musical theatre dancers who also sing, thereby empowering them to thrive vocally.
