Read moreMORE INFOAn Ode To Overstretching – The Old Gypsy Ways of Madame La Jaune
$25.00 AUDNow Exclusively Available on Amazon For Just $20 USD
This hilarious children’s book brings some well needed lightness to the serious issue of overstretching that is rife in the dance and gymnastics industries. It is a perfect book to have in your waiting area, to promote discussion on this important topic.
The story of Madame La Jaune was spawned from a conversation between Lisa Howell and her dad, Mike, when Lisa asked him if he could draw up some cartoons of the crazy overstretched positions that dancers are seen in these days all over social media. She wanted to highlight the potential danger to the body that was caused by sitting in positions like these, whilst still appealing to everybody’s sense of humour. From there, the story took a life of its own. The pictures were an absolute success and members of the dance world fell in love with the simple but clear message that was embodied in Madame La Jaune.
Mike then took matters into his own hands and began exploring the back story to explain his often mused upon question “Why do good people sometimes teach badly?”
6 months later and this is the result, a story of dance, comedy and science. This book will give you an insight into the other side of Overstretching and the seemingly crazy ways of some teachers. Follow Madame La Jaune and understand her point of view, as well as where we go to from here!

Online Content – Thankfully, before COVID-19 happened I meticulously filmed every part of the course, including all my anecdotes, assessment tests, exercises and explorations, and organised it into an easy to use Online Teacher Training Portal. I have coupled the video content with downloadable PDF’s for use in class, to make it even easier to apply. I have also continued to add to the collection with regular Members Coaching Calls, discussing and demonstrating how to apply all offered content to specific situations such as working with a dancer with hip pain, dealing with Plantar Fascia Pain and Managing Back Pain. Previously this exclusive Online Portal has only been available to individuals who have completed the course in person, however I have decided to open this up to those who were booked on the live events this year, as I still want this information to get out into the world.
4 Live Zoom Workshops – We all know that learning in person is so much more engaging than watching videos online, and I personally love meeting every teacher who attends my courses.

These calls will be limited to just 15 individuals booked into your location so that you will have plenty of time to ask questions.

Add to cartMORE INFOMy Beginner Pointe Companion Guide for Teachers
$30.00 AUDThis 85 page supplementary companion guide for teachers has been specifically designed to allow you to quickly access the appropriate information for each section of the program. Having photographs and step by step instructions for all of the strengthening exercises, as well as the class work, will save you time and effort in delivering the program.
After consulting with many studio owners who loved the My Beginner Pointe Program, the decision was made to add a guide book as some teachers expressed their concern in struggling to remember all of the elements of each exercise when passing it on to their students.

$200.00 AUD‘The Perfect Pointe System’ takes the science of dance medicine out of the text book and into the classroom! Enjoy the combination of anatomical and scientific research in a clear and easy-to-use format to transform your teaching of pointe work to young students.
The original hard copy of The Perfect Pointe System is currently out of stock as Lisa is in the process of updating and reformatting the program. This will hopefully be launched mid next year. However, we have had a lot of enquiries about the program, and so we have created an online version of the program so you can get started straight away. You will then have the option of upgrading to the new version for a minimal fee when it has been released.
