Movement Through a Whole-Person Lens
How we move is shaped by our bodies, experiences, relationships, environment, cultures and the way we understand ourselves.
Movement has the ability to connect us - to ourselves, and our bodies, to other people, to our communities and cultures, and to the experinecs that make us feel most like ourselves.
Through a background spanning chiropractic, dance, movement science, performance, and dance/movement therapy, I’ve come to understand movement through a biopsychosocial-cultural lens. How we move is shaped by more than muscles and joints; our experiences, relationships, environment, confidence, culture, and sense of self are part of the picture too.
Whether I’m working with someone navigating pain, returning to something they love, preparing for performance, or building greater physical capacity, my goal isn’t to create a “perfect” body or perfect movement. It’s to help people develop greater connection, trust, and confidence in the body they move through the world in.
Dr. Dylan Tarrant, DC
Chiropractor • Movement & Performance Specialist • Dancer • Educator
Dr. Dylan Tarrant is a chiropractor, movement and performance specialist, dancer, and educator with a background spanning healthcare, dance, movement science, performance, and education.
Dylan earned his Bachelor of Arts in Dance Science from California State University, Long Beach and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences. He is currently completing his Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy at Pratt Institute, further expanding the way he understands movement beyond its physical and biomechanical components.
His professional experience has taken him from the clinic to the classroom, dance studio, stage, and workshop setting. He has worked with dancers and movers across styles including ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern, musical theatre, hip hop, tap, salsa, bachata, Siva Samoa, Hula, and ‘Ori Tahiti. He has also taught kinesiology and movement-related education in academic and professional settings and teaches workshops nationally and internationally.
Dylan is also an active dancer and performer. His own continued experiences as a student, performer, competitor, clinician, and educator shape the way he approaches his work. Rather than viewing movement only through the lens of injury, technique, or performance, he considers the person, their experiences, their environment, their relationships, and the cultural contexts in which movement takes place.
These different parts of his background have come together to shape a whole-person approach centered on connection, confidence, and trust through movement.
