Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the Stars

Seventeen year old Perri Avey has been dancing since she was five years old and has been working with Aline at Momentum Studio since she was twelve.

 

Seventeen year old Perri Avey has been dancing since she was five years old and has been working with Aline since she was twelve. Perri is currently on the dance team at Eldorado High School and a member of the contemporary dance ensemble at the Public Academy for Performing Arts. For the last five years, Perri has used the GYROTONIC ®

system to supplement her rigorous ballet training. Even at the ripe old age of twelve, Perri was experiencing a significant amount of pain due to the demands of dancing 5 days per week.
“I had a lot of back pain and a few old injuries I was still rehabbing,” Perri explains. “I figured it couldn’t hurt to try something new.”

Perri continues, “It has improved my strength and flexibility immensely. While injuries do occasionally occur, the rehabilitation process is much faster. I started working with Aline when I was twelve. I am now seventeen and couldn’t imagine not doing Gyrotonic.”

Jill Avey, Perri’s mother, has also seen the impact

GYROTONIC ® work has made in Perri’s life. Jill explains, “[Gyrotonic] is an absolute must.  Most importantly, Perri has been the motivator regarding participation.  Her Dad and I have never made her art form a requirement.  She is self driven and believes GYROTONIC ®

methodology has not only strengthened her abilities and kept her injury free but it has also offered treatment to her scoliosis diagnosis of 3 years ago.  It has helped strengthen her back muscles to compensate for the 2 curvatures in her back.  This has not only increased her abilities to continue dancing but helps ease the pain that comes along with this kind of diagnosis.”

When pressed on what made Perri stay with

GYROTONIC ®

work for so long, she states, “It works. Simple as that”.
