Founder of Pivot Sport Medicine and Pivot Dancer, a global platform dedicated to dancer health and performance, Dinah combines her years of classical ballet training with her clinical expertise to deliver highly specialized care. She’s known for her sharp eye in assessing movement, pointe shoe fit, and foot mechanics, as well as creating innovative resources for dancers.
Dinah has been part of medical teams at the Olympic, Paralympic, Pan Am, Canada, and World University Games, and has supported sports including fencing, gymnastics, rugby, water polo, swimming, cycling, and more.
