Band-ITS Core
Welcome to Band-ITS Core – a scientific based rehab programme designed to strengthen and improve movement for the hips, core and full body.
The focus of this programme is to train the hip and pelvic complex – which is the real powerhouse area for energy transfer and stability for the core and lower limbs. The hips and pelvis are part of the ‘3 big rocks of movement’ (foot ankle , thorax , hips pelvis ). If these 3 areas of the body move and work well together, we can minimise injury and rehab safely from previous injuries.
These physio based sessions include;
- 6 levels of progress from release through to one leg strength
- Safe mobility approaches / centering and isolating stability muscles / integrating movement back into the system / training global movement patterns on 2 feet and then 1 foot with balance
- Progressing by adding external load to the system ( 5 resistance options ). This is essential to add positive stress into the system and create change.
Although this programme was initially designed for dancers, it has been taught successfully with adults in the rehab and Pilates setting. It’s not just dancers that need hips that move well !

Band-ITS Core Online Teacher Training
$500.00
This programme is designed for movement practitioners that already have a teaching qualification ( Pilates, Yoga, Dance, Rehab, Allied health)
this online workshop will teach dance teachers, pilates instructors and fitness professionals all they need to know about training the dancing body.
Upon completion of the course, you will have the knowledge and repertoire to teach the Band-ITS Core Strength and Conditioning Program to students and clients from all dance genres and abilities. The programme is taught in 6 levels from mobility L1 through to strength on 1 leg in L6.
You will learn:
- How to effectively mobilise the body to achieve safe range and flexibility
- How the muscles, tendons, bones, and fascia all work together, and how to use this to strengthen the body
- How to design great (& safe!) conditioning classes using the Band-ITS kit, including progressions & regressions for different levels
- How to use accurate cueing & hands-on corrections for optimal technique
- How the stabilise and strengthen the powerhouse of the body- the hips and pelvis.
Implementing Band-ITS Core conditioning classes in your studio:
- Creates safe mobility and flexibility in all bodies through use of fascial release techniques
- Allows students to isolate and activate the ‘correct’ muscles for different exercises
- Helps students ‘switch off’ unnecessary muscles activation or ‘gripping’ that can lead to poor technique, tight muscles or even injury
- Builds strong, lean muscle whilst developing stamina and overall fitness
- Develops a healthy and injury-resistant body for a lifetime of dance
Whats included
- 6.5 hours of online content – anatomy, training principles and class repertoire.
- A 61-page colour instructional manual to accompany the learning.
- A lower limb Band-ITS kit, stability ball and massage balls (posted the day you purchase the course).
- 2 small exams and certificate of completion.
I recommend at least 4-5 hours of self-practice outside of this course to learn the exercises, practice the variations and try the different resistances.
Access to the content will be released at intervals to give you time to absorb and practice it: with full completion after 4 weeks.
The programme content is delivered online and will be run over set periods in the year with weekly webinar calls to run over content and discuss any questions you may have .
All sessions will be recorded for review at a later date.
