Products and Services - Trinity Laban

In addition to our educational programme, the Dance Science department works with the wider dance sector. Our aim is to integrate knowledge exchange into our practice and disseminate our research-informed expertise to a wider community. This work includes scientific research and investigation into the impacts of dance within community settings; educational workshops in optimising performance and reducing injury occurrence; developing and undertaking performer-specific testing and training. Our partners range from commissioning bodies, such as regional councils, to professional dance companies at the forefront of the dance industry in the UK

What We Can Offer:

Performance Optimisation Screening Packages

As a partner of the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science (NIDMS), Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance is the London based centre for the Performance Optimisation Package (POP) health and fitness screening sessions for professional dancers/performers. POP is a One Dance UK membership add-on, and the package has been designed to complement the existing specialist healthcare available at the NIDMS NHS Dance Injury clinics, and is invaluable for dance artists working independently, teachers, choreographers or schools and companies without comprehensive in-house health provision.

The services provided in the Performance Optimisation Package are offered through the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science and help dancers maintain health, fitness and optimum performance and is now available at three different tiers.

For more information on the different tiers available visit the screening packages page.

Dance-Specific Fitness Tests

Commissioned Research

We work with a number of external partners to carry out commissioned research on a range of topics. A variety of scientific methodological approaches allow us to explore quantitative and qualitative aspects of dance in a variety of populations within educational, performance, and community settings.
