FAQs

What is Pivot Dancer?

Pivot Dancer is a branch of Pivot Sport Medicine designed specifically for dancers by dance medicine experts. By combining Sport and Dance Medicine, Pivot Dancer is a resource dancers can turn to when they have questions about staying healthy, avoiding injuries and performing at their best. Memberships give dancers and studios access to virtual appointments, classes and our on-demand video library. 

What membership should I get?

The Pivot Dancer memberships are designed to meet every dancer’s needs, budget, schedule, and goals. There are descriptions of every membership on the website to help you identify which membership suits you best. You can always move between memberships, and any account credits you have will be transferred to your new membership. 

Why can’t I get everything I need from my studio training?

Your studio is where you and your dance educator should focus on your technique, choreography, and rehearsals. It isn’t fair to ask them to be your expert for everything you need. Every dancer needs a full team supporting them which includes medical experts you studio trusts to focus on injury prevention and strengthening. 

How do I fit Pivot Dancer into my program?

Dancers are busy! This is why we found an app to host Pivot Dancer. Being able to pull up your physio exercises between classes, or watch an educational video while you ride the bus, makes Pivot Dancer your secret weapon. 15 minutes a day is almost 2 hours of training/week; you’ll notice your dancing improving quite quickly. 

Can I use my health insurance for classes?

Health insurance is designed to provide policyholders with extended health care benefits for health services that aren’t included in national health care programs. These are typically considered one-on-one appointments with a registered health care practitioner. Classes are usually not included in these policies however, some people find that they can submit their classes to a health spending account if this is a part of their policy.
