Andrea Valentini
Flexologist
Hi, my name is Andrea Valentini! I’ve been a dancer for 20 years and graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a BA in Dance and a BA in Honors Anthropology. I am deeply passionate about combining my creative background with my analytical mindset, and am working towards becoming a physical therapist for dancers. I have been a Dance Science researcher for 4 years and have conducted four fully-funded original projects centering around health and wellness for collegiate dancers. I recently traveled to Ireland to present my research at the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science annual conference. I also work as a Physical Therapy Aide where I help guide patients through rehabilitative exercise programs and assist physical therapists with their documentation. When I’m not working, researching, or dancing, you can usually find me reading, finding the best sunset viewpoint, or playing with my two sweet cats, Boogie and Moose!
