PBT is an innovative conditioning methodology that helps dancers find proper intrinsic muscle control and balletic coordination. Props are used to challenge stability, prompt correct alignment, and give proprioceptive feedback to dancers. PBT is incredible at building dancers' awareness of their bodies and beautifully translates into ballet class. Additionally, it is a safe, scientifically-backed technique that welcomes all ages and abilities.

Live Online PBT Conditioning classes are conducted via Google Meet. The meeting link is included in your email invitation to the class. It will also be re-sent in a reminder email the day before your class.

A working camera and microphone are required. Please ensure your entire body is in frame so we can correct you.

PBT exercises utilize yoga balls, 10-inch balls, and 10-foot resistance bands, all of which are highly recommended props for any dancer to own. Additionally, we use light hand weights, Bosu balls, wobble boards, tennis balls, and foam rollers in our classes. When you schedule, indicate which of the listed equipment you have access to so we can tailor your exercises accordingly.

Those without equipment are still encouraged to register. There is plenty we can do without props in the beginning. After learning you and your goals, we will guide you on what prop might be most essential for your training.

Visit the PBT website to shop for yoga balls, 9 inch balls, and 10 foot resistance bands.

PBT Conditioning:

While leotard & tights are not necessary for, you need to dress in flexible, form-fitting clothing. Please ensure your clothes are a distinctly different color than the wall behind you.

We prefer bare feet for safety and correctional purposes.

Ballet:

While leotard & tights are not necessary for, you need to dress in flexible, form-fitting clothing.

Bring ballet flats and/or pointe shoes, as well as toes pads and/or spacers. Socks are not recommended.

Also, it is your responsibility to bring well-maintained pointe shoes to your class. If shoes are no longer safely supporting you, we may ask you to take them off. It is always best to bring another pair of pointe shoes with you.

As a late-starter with her share of technical problems, Hayden believes dance training should not only be accessible to all, but should be adaptable for all unique bodies. Whether you are an advanced pre-professional dancer or an adult beginner who just took their first class, Personal Online Coaching is the safest, most encouraging way to reach your dance goals.

Additionally, whether you are classical training or focused on competition or commercial dance, personal coaching is the perfect foundation for all techniques.

Take class from someone who has been where you are and wants to make the journey easier for you!

Hayden has students who range in age from 3 to 68 years old. For online coaching, we find that students younger than 8-9 years old are not yet ready for that amount of verbal instruction. Younger students are encouraged to book classes in-person. We teach ballet classes for all ages and recommend starting PBT conditioning around 7 years old.

We offer in-studio PBT and ballet classes at Southeast School of Dance in Climax, NC. The studio features two walls of barres, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sprung Harlequin floors.

We also offer in-home coaching to students local to the Piedmont Triad, NC. This allows for detailed, hands-on corrections from the comfort of your home.

If your studio is in and around the Triad, NC, we would love to collaborate. From ballet and conditioning classes to seminars on dance theory, we would love to work with your students. Email us at hayden@haydencreechcoaching.com with your inquiry.

Hayden is a current MA Dance Education student certified in the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum and all levels of PBT.

Hayden is on faculty at UNCSA Preparatory Dance and Southeast School of Dance. She teaches ballet, pointe, PBT, composition and repertoire, ballet theory, and ballet history to students ages 6-18.

Hayden is equipped with the tools, research, and mindset to embrace and assist all dancers because of the difficulties she had achieving classical technique within her own unique anatomy. Technique is not something that should be forced, but should be fostered and grown from the inside out. At Hayden Creech Coaching, that is our primary goal.

This deep, controlled, and foundational work transforms your dance technique, whether pre-professional or recreational. Explore more of the benefits our students have found.
