Where athleticism and artistry meet
Ballet should
make sense.
Most dancers collect corrections that never hold. Athletistry puts the anatomy beneath the technique in your pocket — programs, camera assessments and progress tracking that turn every correction into something you can train.

The real challenge
It is not
motivation.
Most dancers already care deeply. The difficult part is knowing how to train properly, how to make corrections stick, and how to improve without sacrificing health or artistry. That's what the app is built to solve.
Start training properlyBuild strength without losing artistry
Programs designed around ballet — physical training that improves the dancing instead of competing with it.
Improve technique without injury
Know the anatomy, load and movement strategy behind every correction — then track your weekly load so you build safely.
Practise with purpose
Every exercise has a demo video, cues and a reason. You always know what you're changing and why it matters.
Progress without burnout
Streaks, ranks and a training calendar that keep you consistent — plus tapering for exams and performances.
What's inside
Your whole training
system. One app.
Everything Shane uses with dancers in the studio — programs, assessments, anatomy and tracking — organised so you always know what to do today.
Movement Map &
Ballet Movement Lab
Your camera reads posture front, side and back to find your Dancer Movement Type — then coaches développé, à la seconde, turnout and port de bras live, capturing your best rep so you can re-test and see change.

Your first
ninety days.
The Practice is a 90-day, anatomy-first pathway. It starts the day you join: understand it, apply it, then own it.
Days 1–30
Understand
Learn the anatomy and mechanics beneath the technique — where turnout really comes from, what limits an extension, what a balance is asking of you. Then scan your posture to find your Dancer Movement Type.
Days 31–60
Apply
Train it. Guided strength sessions, turnout work and ballet-specific drills with a demo for every move — this is where corrections you've had for years finally start to hold.
Days 61–90
Own it
Re-test in the Ballet Movement Lab, watch your numbers move, and learn to correct your own dancing — so progress keeps going long after the ninety days.
Founder and head coach
From first position
to principal artist.
Shane Wuerthner trained at the Kirov Academy, danced with Vienna State Ballet and San Francisco Ballet, and became a Principal Artist with Queensland Ballet. He then moved into strength and conditioning — and built Athletistry to combine classical technique, biomechanics and physical preparation.
This app is that system: the way Shane makes complex ballet ideas clear, practical and immediately useful — available every day, not just at a workshop.

What dancers and teachers say about Shane's coaching
Challenged in the right way.
★★★★★
“Technically challenging, but it did not leave me feeling defeated, just challenged in a good way. I took your tips into the studio and saw immediate success with the students.”
★★★★★
“When you explained and showed us the physiology behind movements, everything became so much clearer. The specific exercises and corrections were incredibly useful.”
★★★★★
“Many adult classes do not include this level of correction. The breakdowns, anatomy and training exercises helped me understand how to improve.”
