Khyle Eccles, S&C at Trinity Laban, discusses athletic competency in dancers. We discuss Khyle's MSc work on maximal strength testing for dancers, as well as physiological fitness for dancers more generally. Khyle debates the impacts of aesthetic demands and athleticism in dance. We look at the challenges of implementing S&C programmes in dance, how schools can facilitate supplementary training to develop physical literacy, and the relevance of student buy-in.
