Bio:
I’m Maria Haralambis, M.Ed., NASM CES, FMT, a current Ph.D. student and CEO of The Dance Scientist, L.L.C. I help Dancers & Dance Educators understand and apply Dance Science principles through Resources, Master Classes, Training Sessions, Mentoring, Injury Risk Assessments, and more. By collectively integrating insight from Biomechanics, Kinesiology, Psychology, Nutrition, Physiology, Motor Learning, Cardiovascular Fitness, and Somatic practices, my pedagogy ultimately achieves a more well-rounded, refined, and holistic understanding of helping dancers succeed. I am extremely passionate about integrating anatomical principles to help Dancers & Educators improve the way they dance & instruct, ultimately fostering a deeper sense of kinesthetic awareness.
