Health
The CN D supports the dance sector in better addressing health issues within the field of dance. This initiative aims to ensure the longevity of artists’ careers and maintain their health through information, awareness-raising and prevention.
The Professional Resources division fosters collaboration between healthcare professionals, dance artists and supervisors. It works to promote recognition of a collective responsibility towards the physical, mental and social aspects of health.
The division is involved in higher education and the continuing professional development of teachers, and organises monthly health workshops that combine theory with practical exercises. It also co-organises the annual ‘Regards croisés sur la santé des danseurs’ forum in Biarritz. Finally, in partnership with healthcare and health experts, the CN D develops and distributes resources such as the ‘Guide to Dance and Health’ and the ‘Health’ practical factsheets.
The CN D is a member of the International Organization for Dance Medicine & Science (IADMS).
Health Studio
The Health Studio provides all staff with a dedicated health area, designed for prevention, warm-ups and recovery. This space is equipped with the necessary equipment and facilities to enable everyone to prepare for or recover from exercise independently.
Located on the second floor of the building, it is freely accessible without prior booking during the CN D’s opening hours.
Please note: The CN D is currently undergoing renovation work. During this period, access to the Health Studio is restricted to those already in the building for activities at the CN D. Access for the sole purpose of using the Studio cannot be granted.
