Ben Vanthienen

As a young guy, I was very interested and involved in movement. I did a lot of sports and pursued the dream of playing football professionally. I also wanted to be someone in the world of movement and sports. The dream of being a professional football player was soon shelved for a university degree in physical therapy. It became clear soon enough that I also wanted to delve deeper into teaching about the body. So here I now am, a physiotherapist at the school, and teaching the Injury Prevention Training course. I am able to work with young dancers with the same passion for movement. In this role, I try to help them to get through their training without physical issues and motivate them to place their health above all else in their further careers.
