Helping dancers train stronger & dance longer
Founded by Registered Kinesiologist & Dance Instructor Madeline Feist, Built for Dance Academy exists to help dancers reach their full potential in a safe, evidence-informed way through training developed by experienced healthcare professionals.

Our programs are completely individualized and tailored to the goals of each dancer, and we work alongside studios and teachers to ensure that our dancers are supported every step of the way.
