Strong fitness programs are rarely built alone. Two new projects are underway, and each needs a specific kind of expertise. I am seeking two collaborators: a Judo instructor for new program development and a choreographer for LA Style Disc Dance™. Both roles center on movement, and both will shape the next generation of fitness programs offered to adults who want to move with more strength, skill, and confidence.

Collaborator 1: Judo Instructor for New Program Development

I am looking for an experienced Judo instructor with a strong understanding of body mechanics, movement, and the practical application of Judo principles. The ideal collaborator brings hands-on experience and the ability to translate technical knowledge into effective movement concepts.

Particular expertise is sought in:

• Center of gravity
• Root strength
• Level transitions
• Leverage
• Structural alignment

Experience working with movement under changing or unpredictable conditions is especially relevant. Judo is built on responding to a partner who is always shifting, and that adaptability is exactly what many fitness programs lack.

What the Judo Collaboration Involves

This collaboration requires someone who can contribute ideas, demonstrate and evaluate movement, and work through the development process to refine the program. You will not simply teach a class. You will help decide how Judo principles become movement concepts that participants can learn, practice, and improve over time.

A willingness to collaborate creatively and apply Judo principles beyond traditional instruction is important. Root strength, level changes, and alignment are valuable in any setting, and they can strengthen fitness programs when they are taught with clear progressions and careful attention to structure.

Collaborator 2: Choreographer for LA Style Disc Dance™

LA Style Disc Dance™ is an existing movement program combining music, rhythm, visual tracking, footwork, and handheld equipment. Participants use two paddles and a Kush Ball while walking, skipping, running, and moving forward and backward.

A choreographer is sought to help develop the program for an indoor venue. The collaboration will focus on:

• Creating structured movement sequences
• Coordinating upper- and lower-body movement
• Managing indoor spatial patterns and traffic flow
• Developing a progressive learning curve

A Program Development Collaboration

This is a program development collaboration rather than a conventional fitness instructor position. Choreography, dance, group fitness, or related movement experience is relevant. If you have created routines, designed formations, or taught participants of different skill levels, your background may be a strong fit.

Indoor spaces bring their own challenges. Sequences must fit the room, participants must be able to move without collisions, and the learning curve must feel achievable from the first session. Those are the same design questions that separate well-built fitness programs from those that fizzle out.

Why These Two Roles Matter

Movement quality determines whether participants feel capable or frustrated. Judo contributes an understanding of balance, grounding, and leverage, while choreography contributes rhythm, sequencing, and flow. Together they address how the body is organized and how it travels through space. Combining these perspectives creates programs that feel coherent, safe to learn, and engaging to repeat.

Each role also asks for more than technical skill. The work involves testing ideas in real movement, noticing what works and what does not, and adjusting until the program is clear enough for a new participant to follow. That process rewards people who are patient, observant, and open to feedback from their collaborators.

Who Should Apply

Both roles suit people who enjoy solving movement problems with others. You may be a Judo instructor who wants to see your principles applied in a new setting. You may be a choreographer or group fitness professional who wants to build something from the ground up. Either way, you should be comfortable sharing ideas, testing them with your body, and refining them together.

Strong applicants for either role share a few qualities:

• Hands-on experience in their discipline
• Comfort explaining technical ideas clearly
• Curiosity about how movement can be adapted
• Willingness to collaborate through the full development process

Apply Today

If you are ready to help shape new fitness programs, I would like to hear from you. Tell me which role interests you, describe your background, and share how you would approach the work. Whether you bring Judo expertise or choreography experience, your contribution will help build fitness programs that challenge participants in fresh ways.

I look forward to creating the next wave of fitness programs with you.
