Unlocking your best ballet form relies on comparing the body’s strengths and natural limitations with the requirements of classical ballet. Together we can create a structured optimisation exercise programme to reach your full potential.

The Ballet Physio
Luke, The Ballet Physio, worked at the Royal Ballet School in Covent Garden, London for six years. It was during this time that Luke developed his passion for helping ballet dancers achieve their true physical potential.
We are proud to announce that Luke is appointed the company physiotherapist for London City Ballet. Initially performing from 1978-1996 under the patronage of Diana, Princess of Wales, the company was re-formed in 2024.
This dynamic new company will perform in London and will tour internationally in the summer.
Luke will work with the team to help keep dancers rehearsing and performing safely, and will manage and rehabilitate dancer injuries.
Luke will continue to be just as available to dancers at Danceworks and online for private appointments and classes.

I’m so excited to be launching my second Dance Masterclass. This one called Beginner’s Guide To Effective Training dives deep into the fact that how you divide up your training over a week or over a year can make a big difference to how far you’ll go, how strong you will grow, and how likely you are to become injured.
An educational and entertaining resource for teachers looking for guidance of how to plan out their students’ training over a week or over a year, or for dancers looking to pace themselves to achieve their best.
This programme is designed not only for beginners but also for individuals who are new to incorporating sports science into their training regimen, aiming to maximize their rate of progress.
I’ve teamed up with Dance Masterclass to help you understand how the body’s structure affects dance. How does the core work to support you, and what can you do to improve it? How does turnout work? What’s important to know about getting the most out of your feet?
In my Dance Masterclass you discover all this and more. With great dancer demonstrations and amazing graphics to illustrate, you’ll learn all about Anatomy for Dancers.

“Dear Luke, just wanted to thank you again for being wonderful and key to helping (dancer) remain strong and get back to dancing after her fracture at the beginning of the year.
Considering she was off for months with the fracture and re-education she has managed to secure her dream school in her dream city despite all odds! Quite honestly without your expertise and guidance, her foot could not have made it through …!!!”
“I’m really enjoying the class so far and the conditioning has been really useful with regard to my weekly Floor Barre class. I already feel that much stronger and able to implement how to point my toes effectively and am more conscious of my turnout muscles. Also, although I am very aware of the importance of a strong core and my core has certainly been strengthened over the last two weeks, I am also more acutely aware of using my core effectively and correctly in floor barre.”
“Many many thanks for everything you have done for Sacha – your wise words were so reassuring! And your expertise so essential to his recovery.”
“Wow, that was amazing!’ She’s never really had a session quite like that before!”
“Izabel feels her strength is increasing each week; we can really see the difference your exercises make!”
“This guy is a ballet magician, not just a physiotherapist! True results. Highly recommend!”
“Luke’s classes are remarkable, my daughter has improved enormously and had a lot of fun along the way!”
“You have literally given me so much more strength and knowledge and have become my new normal.”
“Luke’s classes are highly beneficial for any young dancer. He creates a hard-working environment, but one in which a lot of fun is had too! Both of my children love his classes/workshops and I have seen such improvements in terms of their general strength and technique. Needless to say, they remain injury-free due to Luke’s magic!”
“On behalf of my son, I just wanted to pass onto you how much he valued the sessions he had with Luke this summer. He said they were amazing and very challenging! He has taken away so much knowledge from Luke which he believes he will be able to channel into his dance this term.”
“I don’t know how Noa would be doing without your expertise! Even being 1500km away, you manage to point and solve a problem and make that it won’t happen again or become something chronic. The best physio for ballet dancers ever!”
