BUILD STRENGTH. UNLOCK YOUR MOBILITY.
A specialised training experience to help dancers develop a stronger, more mobile and better-supported body.
INSIDE THE NOVEMBER WORKSHOP BUNDLE
We'll guide you through two complementary training experiences designed to help you understand your body, develop strength and explore new possibilities in your movement. Dancer's Gym with Andrea Olalde. You'll learn how to: - Understand how strength and conditioning can support the physical demands of dance. - Explore gym exercises and training methods suited to dancers. - Build a more purposeful approach to strength training, whether at the gym or at home. - Understand the role of physical preparation and nutrition in supporting your training. The Movement Journey with Satoko Fukuda You'll explore how to: - Develop greater awareness of your body and spine. - Discover movement beyond your usual habits and familiar patterns. - Explore mobility through improvisation and individual movement. - Connect physical awareness with creativity, expression and freedom of movement.
“I'm a dancer, but I'm afraid to go to the gym. What if strength training affects my dancing?”
Strength training doesn't have to work against your dancing. Just like athletes in different disciplines, dancers need physical training that supports the specific demands of their activity. When you understand how to use the gym, select appropriate exercises and train with purpose, you can build strength that supports your dancing rather than competes with it. Andrea will help you explore how to approach strength and conditioning with a dancer's needs in mind, whether you train in a gym or at home.
“I have scoliosis or body imbalances. Can I still develop strength and mobility?”
Having scoliosis or a body that moves differently doesn't mean you have to give up on developing strength, mobility or body awareness. Your body still needs opportunities to explore movement, build support and discover what works for you. Through these two complementary experiences, you'll explore physical preparation alongside a deeper awareness of your body, helping you approach movement with greater understanding of your individual needs.
“My body feels stiff, and I've already tried so many things. What if nothing changes?”
Sometimes, repeating the same exercises and movement patterns isn't enough. You may need to approach your body from a different perspective. Andrea's class will help you explore strength, conditioning and how to use training tools more purposefully. Satoko's Movement Journey will invite you to step beyond familiar movement patterns, explore your body and spine, and discover new possibilities through awareness and expression.

Dancers and students who had tataken clasess with the Strength in Grace System
I love reading, dancing, and drawing, and Strength in Grace by Zitrev has helped me grow in all the best ways. The dance training has improved my coordination and endurance, but most importantly, it has strengthened my self-confidence. When I first joined, I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. Through the supportive staff and the empowering environment, I learned to feel proud of who I am. Zitrev has helped me grow not just as a dancer, but as a person. The courses are spaces where I feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely happy.
Dance Student
I came across Strength in Grace by Zitrev and was impressed by its practicality and effectiveness. The strategies create real, lasting results without requiring a significant time commitment, ideal for high-performers managing full schedules.
Working Mom
I saw a clear improvement in my mobility and strength, but the real transformation happened when I focused on the fundamentals. That strong foundation allowed me to progress physically and elevate my performance, even in high-pressure moments.
Full time worker & Dance student
Zitrev and Strength in Grace are not just an academy; it’s a family where everyone truly belongs. The staff, the environment, and the training are all exceptional. Living with epilepsy has always made me very mindful of my health, but at Zitrev, I felt completely supported, safe, and confident in every class. During my time there, I didn’t experience a single episode, which reflects how balanced, positive, and caring the environment is. Zitrev and Strength in Grace nurture well-being as much as artistic growth.
