Wait! Have we Met yet?
Hi I'm Katie Groven!
World champion dancer, personal trainer and the creator of Training Your Dancers Made Easy
Welcome! I created this program because I spend half of every year traveling around the midwest (and now over zoom) teaching bootcamps and fitness classes to studios and high school teams. My speciality is training dancers to optimize their skills using strength training.
My teaching philosophy centers around
- Mind body connection
- Breaking down each skill or style of dance into pieces and training their body for each piece of the puzzle.
- Empowerment around training like an athlete
I teach in a way that helps dancers understand how to engage each muscle, what skill that muscle is for and finally putting it all together to create a blueprint for their body and cheat sheet for them to understand:
"If I want to turn better or jump higher I need to strengthen muscles A,B,C and I need to use them in this order"
Training Your Dancers Made Easy takes this signature training system and breaks it down into a step by step, follow along system that YOU the coach can do in your own practices.
Using this exact system, I've helped numerous teams in Minnesota place in the top 3 or top 5 at their conference and state championships - and now you can too!
My goal for you, is to make this season your strongest yet so you can start competing stronger, with more group skills and less injuries than ever before.
Thank you for being here, please enjoy!
- Katie
You Have Questions?
I have answers!
Is this program something my dancers can do on their own?
- Yes! Simply download and email the training plans to your dancers or share your login information. The detailed instructions, modifications, and videos will ensure your dancers are staying on track and staying safe while training at home this season
I'm a dancer or a dance parent can I purchase this or is it just for teams?
- Not just for teams! This is a fantastic program for any dancer who wants to improve this season and likes to follow a simple, laid out plan.
How long do I have access to the material?
- Forever! Which means you can use these training plans repeatedly. Videos never expire.
What If I have multiple levels in my class?
- All exercises and training plans come with modifications on how to increase difficulty or simplify to meet the needs of your dancers.
- You can also reach out to me directly through our community page for more specific modification needs.
What equipment is needed for the exercises?
- None! Exercises can become more advanced by adding an athletic band but no equipment or weight room is necessary.
How long are the workouts?
- Each workout is designed to only be 10 -30 minutes long so you can get back to your technique, cleaning routines and running dances
Do I need to follow the weeks in order?
- No! Each week is designed to build off the previous week but you can bounce around, repeat weeks or choose the ones that work best for your team goals.
How can I fit strength training into my already busy practice?
- I would recommend doing your team workout after stretching and before technique training. *We can discuss the perfect fit in our zoom call
- P.S You'll save time working on skills as your dancers are controlling their body more and you no longer need to spend time wondering how to structure an effective workout, I already did that for you
What if I don't have any fitness experience?
- That's fine! You don't need it. With detailed exercise instructions and videos PLUS access to me in our community chat, you can feel confident you're training your dancers safely and effectively.
My team is lacking motivation. Will this help?
- Yes! In fact, having your dancers involved in the process of planning the workouts, leading them and creating challenges around the exercises is a great way to promote leadership, team bonding and motivation.
Can I get an invoice to submit to my school?
- Yes! Email [email protected] and I'll create an invoice you can submit to your school or booster club.
Still have questions? I'd love to hear from you!
