I’m excited to share that I’ll be serving as Program Director for the University of Colorado Physical Therapy Performing Arts Fellowship.

This post‑professional fellowship was created to support physical therapists seeking advanced specialization in performing arts medicine—particularly dance—through immersive clinical experience, high‑touch mentorship, and meaningful community engagement.

Built for practicing clinicians, the program integrates mentored care in real performance environments, structured didactic learning, teaching, and outreach. The goal is not only to develop expert clinicians, but to help advance the field and better support artists’ health, performance, and longevity.

🗓 Applications open October 2026
📍 Hybrid program with in‑person experiences in the Denver metro area

Our own Dr. Alyssa is competing this weekend at 5280 Westival in DTC!

Because yes… your PT is still out there dancing and competing too. 💃

I’ve been part of this community as a dancer long before I became a physical therapist, and staying active on the floor keeps me connected to what dancers are actually experiencing—the challenges, the adrenaline, the joy, and sometimes the sore muscles too.

If you’re at 5280 Westival this weekend, come say hi and cheer on your friendly neighborhood dance PT!

03/20/2026

I’ve been keeping dancers moving at 5280 for years—and my schedule always fills.

I’m also competing, so spots are limited.

👉 DM WESTIVAL for booking details.

03/13/2026

I’ll be onsite at 5280 Westival again this year providing bodywork, injury screenings, recovery sessions, movement therapy, dry needling, cupping, and taping.

I’ve been doing this event for years—and my schedule fills fast because I’m also competing.

📍 Sheraton Denver Tech Center

🎙️ Top Episodes of 2025 + All-Time Favorites

This week on Dance Med Spotlight, I’m stepping back to reflect on the conversations that resonated most with you.

In this episode, I’m counting down:
• The Top 5 Episodes of 2025
• The Top 5 Episodes of All Time
• And the themes that continue to show up again and again in dancer health, education, and culture

From trauma-informed dance instruction, to hypermobility, to strength, longevity, and system-level support—these conversations rose to the top for a reason.

If you’re a dancer, teacher, or provider who cares about sustainability, agency, and supporting dancers as whole humans, this episode is for you.
