Welcome to Baseline Dance!
I am Dr. Lily McCrossin, PT, DPT. I am a dancer, physical therapist, dance educator, and researcher that supports the dance community. I help dancers improve the way their bodies move and feel while dancing.
My vision is to provide a space for movement artists to refine their skills, promote longevity by preventing injury through continuing education and physical rehabilitation, and foster collaboration within the dance community.
I offer Ballet Rehab Coaching: one-on-one virtual physical therapy and coaching for dancers. In addition, I provide dance science and health education seminars for dancers.
