Our commitment to the health and fitness of our dancers

Scottish Ballet's dancers are amongst the finest athletes in Scotland. The quality of the performance you see on stage is a testimony to the hard work and commitment of the dancers and the ballet team that supports them.

 

The Company is making a considerable investment in the health and fitness of all our dancers and is establishing an on-going commitment to dancer welfare.

 

Alongside the Gyrotonic® system we provide a multi-gym facility and a therapeutic massage facility operated by Fraser Johnstone. Fraser treats dancers with different massage techniques and is developing a massage programme exclusively for the needs of the Scottish Ballet dancers.

 

The dancers are also currently receiving advice on healthy living both at work and at home. This includes a diet review and improvements to the menu available at the canteen at the Company's studios.

 

Gyrotonic® Expansion System

 

The Art of Exercising and Beyond

The Gyrotonic® Expansion System produces toned lean and flexible muscles. Joint mobility and the range of motion increases as the System simultaneously stretches and strengthens the body with minimal effort. With a better functioning neuromuscular musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system you will enhance your quality of life and your fitness.
