Creating Safer, Stronger Dancers & Instructors™
Redefining Ballet Training for Longevity, Injury Prevention, and Sustainable Careers.
I’m Veronica K, a Restorative Ballet Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer, former Physical Therapy Assistant, and professional dancer. My mission is to redefine ballet training by integrating dance medicine-backed injury prevention, recovery techniques, and sustainable conditioning methods for dancers of all ages and stages of life.
The Veronica K Method™: A New Approach to Injury-Free Ballet Training
With my clinical background and professional dance experience, I recognized the physical demands and risks of dance, leading me to develop the Veronica K Method™, a comprehensive training system that blends:
✔ Therapeutic exercise & myofascial mobility
✔ Vestibular training & muscle energy techniques
✔ Progressive resistance & corrective ballet exercises
✔ Classical ballet technique with a focus on longevity and inclusivity of all ages
This approach ensures dancers can build strength, recover effectively, and extend their careers—whether they are pre-professionals, adult dancers, instructors, or seniors ballet dancers.
My Journey: From Adversity to Advocacy
My own dance career began at age seven, filled with challenges—from physical injuries to being turned away due to my body type. Despite the setbacks, I carved my path, performing professionally with Carnival Cruise Lines and as a freelance ballet performer in Northeast Ohio. These experiences ignited my passion for breaking outdated barriers in ballet and making elite training accessible to all dancers.
Dance Instructor Continuing Education
I’m committed to helping dancers and educators embrace safe, effective training methods through my work in injury prevention and ballet technique. This is why I have created my Ohio Physical Therapy Association approved continuing education course for dance educators, physical therapists, and personal trainers.
