• "I was one of Morgan’s students for over ten years. In that time I learned critical dance technique and worked to obtain new skills. Morgan was patient, encouraging, and always my biggest cheerleader. One thing that I thought set her apart from other dance instructors was her focus on teaching us the importance of executing movements properly. She helped me create a solid foundation in dance and then continued to help me build upon it over the years. Not only is she a very knowledgeable teacher, Morgan is also a joy to be around. She is outgoing, energetic, and understanding. She is invested in her students' success and is always there for us. Whether it be a week of trials and tribulations or of success stories and celebrations, Morgan will help you through it all. Overall, Morgan was one of the most supportive, encouraging, and inspirational teachers I have had and I would highly recommend taking any opportunity to learn from her. "

  • "We were lucky enough to attend one of Morgan’s “Move right with Morgan” classes while at a recent competition/convention weekend and it was the best, most informative class we have ever attended! As a dancer, you are told so much about how to improve your flexibility or increase your height on your jumps, or adding more turns etc…but often times we aren’t taught the best way to do all these things and the safest way to prevent injury. Morgan’s classes are extremely informative, and she explains so much about the Anatomy of our bodies. She explains visually, pointing out on her anatomy poster which muscles are being worked with certain stretches and also demonstrates the stretch herself… Each dancer has different strengths and weaknesses and Morgan was wonderful at individualizing stretches to work for each person. I think every competition/convention should start the day off with a “Moving right with Morgan class”! Best, most informative class ever!!!"

  • "Dylan received an individualized training plan from Morgan and Dylan is doing wonderful! Her knee pain has improved a great deal. I also see her getting stronger every day . She loves the exercises. We have taken [Morgan’s] advice and she is taking care of her body the best she can. If something hurts, or she feels like she's overdoing it she has been making modifications. Thank you again for meeting with the girls! It made such a positive impact on Dylan."

I haven’t been able to do squats for well over a year and FINALLY this bionic hip said “let’s go!” As I have been re-finding my workout routine I have tried to not be as strict about movement but find ways to play and still get my strength back. Echo 🐶 has been a tremendous help in that! She reminds me to get outside because it’s not a good day unless it’s a frisbee day!  ⛳️ I have started doing different movements in between frisbee throws! 🏋️ These are some jumping squats where I am changing my focus to help heighten my stability! I wouldn’t call them pretty but they are effective!  Try making movement fun instead of a chore!  Happy exercising!

First video- For our dancers who have trouble straightening their legs… BEFORE anything else, get an X-ray and have a physician confirm whether or not a dancers bony structure can actually straighten. THEN try this exercise to help activate the quads with resistance. Place band directly below the knee and slowly straighten the knee thinking about engaging the quads. *pro tip- make sure knee pressing outward during the plié or bending phase of this exercise. Second video For dancers who can’t keep their heels down 🩰 the anterior tibialis is usually weak. You can do this exercise anywhere! Try and do at least 25 a day, slow and controlled. Happy training dancers!!!! #anatomyfordancers #moverightwithmorgan #fitdancers #dancertips #quadriceps #anteriortib #strongdancers #dancerfit #fitness #getfit #recoverywarrior

5 months post surgery UPDATE 📍🤪 #totalhipreplcement I look like a robot 🤖 but I sprinted up a hill! 1st video- hiking/hill sprint 2nd video- lunge to balance 3rd video- reverse lunge to balance 4th video- just for fun 🥏🤘😀 I have been working on regaining strength in all the muscles surrounding my hip joint, especially my gluteus medius. I will start posting some of the exercises I have been doing to help retrain my muscles how to work AND to work properly. I spend a few minutes each day focusing on targeted hip ROM, strength and then I just play with movement… doing familiar exercises but finding ways to make them challenging 😥 you can see this in my lunge sequence. Instead of just doing lunges, forward, on the sagittal plane, I am balancing on a single leg in between each lunge and also completing them backwards. This helps one familiarize themselves with their “backspace” 🦥 The best thing for anyone, not just people in recovery is the work on STABILITY/balance! Let’s get stronger together 💪🏼🥵 The most important hiking tip… try having and Echo with you 🐶❤️😎 💪🏼🌲🌿🥏 #fitness #recovery #surgeryrecovery #newhip #bionic #exercisetips #exercisescience #hiking #discgolf
Let’s be honest, fitness goals are so easy to forget about with the stress of gift giving, making time for family and friends, taking time away from work and your regular schedule and countless cocktail parties. But hey- why not put it all together?! 🌲🎄🍸🍹💪🏼🎅 Here is a great way to workout and have fun! **All exercises can be done with or without a beverage and/or Santa Hat. 🎅🎅 ***There is a small chance you might spill during this process 🫣🤭 Squat Slug- Squat down keeping knees out while holding drink in both hands. As you come to a full stance take a sip. 🍻 Single Leg Swig- recommended towards the beginning of the evening if balance work is new for you. Make sure the knee doesn’t fall in. Bend down on one leg, keep the opposing leg off the ground. On the rise take a sip! 🍺 Glute Gulp- Another movement for the top of the party! Press your working heel to the ceiling behind you as your engage your glute. Come to a “stork” to rest your glute and take a drink. 🥃 Bicep Binge- This one is perfect for all night long! Focus on the eccentric contraction of the bicep as you extend your elbow and bring the drink away from you. Inhale as your contract the bicep in to take a swig! 🍾 Shoulder Press Chug- This one is stellar no matter how crowded the venue! Keep your shoulders straight and core engaged and press that bubbly to the sky! 🧉 Sit Up Sip- My dress wearers, make sure you wear shorts so you don’t miss out on this core burner! Other than that, this one is self explanatory! 🍶 Plank Party- This guy is extra fun and really keeps your core on it’s toes! Place your drink on the floor in front of you, make sure you have a solid grip on the floor as you choose which hand is grabbing the drink first. Let your body twist all the way to the side for that stability control! 🍷 Lunge libation- For those looking for a lighter option here is a little mobility work sipper! 🥃🍺 Thank you to @smulholand and @tamaraburg for the inspiration of these videos and never turning down an opportunity to exercise anywhere! So many bar pushups 🤘💪🏼 #fitchristmas #fitchristmaschallenge #holidayworkout #holidayfitness #stayfitfortheholidays #holidaycocktails🍹
Foot/Ankle strengthening/stability! 🦶💪🏼🫵 Friends, our dancers are lacking foot & ankle dextarity, which is leading to unnecessary injuries and unstable movement patterns. This is an EASY (& fun fix)! This is not only for dancers! Falls/accidents are some of the most noteworthy causes of injury as we age… practice balance during all daily activities …. Brushing your teeth, pumping gas, waiting for water to boil 💁‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Give it a try!!!! #anatomyfordancers #moverightwithmorgan #fitdancers #dancertips #tightcalves #flexibility #rangeofmotion #anklerom
Short bit from my #anatomyfordancers class in Nashville this last weekend at @Heat Convention 💪🏼❤️‍🔥 about flexibility! ALL muscles attach at TWO points within the body: the origin and the insertion… we must think about pulling these two points away from each other to creat elasticity (get more flexible!!) Here I’m talking about the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles ..(* note for the sake of the idea/stretch we are combining them both into the general “muscles of the calf”). The calf muscle begins at the bottom of the femur and attaches at the heel. We need to pull these parts away from eachother when lengthening/releasing the calf 🧘‍♀️ Happy stretching I love this idea when I’m thinking about flexibility! #anatomyfordancers #moverightwithmorgan #fitdancers #dancertips #tightcalves #flexibility #rangeofmotion #anklerom
