Seeking medical attention promptly after an acute injury is essential to ensure proper assessment, treatment, and management.

In general, if you are unsure about the severity of an injury or if you have any concerns about the injured person's condition, it's better to err on the side of caution and seek medical attention. Prompt assessment and treatment can help prevent complications and facilitate a faster recovery.

Remember to hydrate frequently and take breaks in the shade to avoid heat exhaustion. Passion for dance should always be balanced with self-care.

29/04/2024

Heat exhaustion can often go unnoticed, especially when awareness and education are lacking. Many dancers may not recognize the signs or understand the risks associated with overheating under the stage lights. Without proper education on hydration, pacing, and recognizing symptoms, performers may unknowingly push themselves too far.

By raising awareness and providing vital information on dancer health and safety, we can ensure every performance shines without sacrificing the well-being of our talented dancers.

27/04/2024

As dancers captivate audiences with their moves, fluid loss becomes a real concern under the glaring lights. Replenishing lost fluids is essential to keep the rhythm flowing and the performance vibrant. Hydration isn't just a necessity; it's a dancer's lifeline.

Have you ever fainted from fluid loss after a performance? Share your experience in the comments.

26/04/2024

Dazzling costumes and mesmerizing stage lighting add magic to every dance performance, but they also pose risks, including heat exhaustion for dancers. Underneath the spotlight, dancers exert themselves physically, and combined with the warmth generated by elaborate costumes and intense stage lighting, the risk of overheating increases significantly.

What kind of fabric have you found to be the best for your costumes? Share your thoughts in the comments!

29/02/2024

Technical proficiency is a cornerstone of successful dance performance, and conditioning programs are instrumental in developing and maintaining the physical attributes necessary for dancers to achieve and sustain high levels of technical skill. These programs contribute to precision, control, endurance, injury prevention, and overall longevity in a dancer's career.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our IG live series Day 4: What Does the Future of Dancer Health Look Like? Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation!

1. We need equitable funding. We need to treat dancers and invest in humans, not robots.
2. We can learn from other disciplines to improve our skill set, work with our strengths, and work smarter.
3. The economics of dance needs to change to pay dancers a living wage that allows them to make better health decisions.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our IG live series Day 3: What are people saying? Here are 3 key takeaways from our discussion!

1. There are still pervasive attitudes that do not acknowledge dancers as athletes, in and out of the dance community.
2. Education and collaboration is key in changing the attitudes and perceptions about dancer health and wellness.
3. We need communication and education between young dancers/dance parents as well as coordination with studios/companies and the medical/training team.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation!

1. Everyone! Dancers, choreographers, teachers, educators, artistic, therapists, and management all have their own roles to play.

2. Dancer health & wellness needs to be a budget line item. If you don't plan for it, it won't happen.

3. Choreographers and dance administrators must work with the artist in front of them, not the artist they wished they were or want them to be.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our IG live series Day 1: Are Dancers Athletes and Is Dance a Sport? Here are some key takeaways from our conversation!

1. Artiste or athlete - you are both! The terms artist and athlete are not mutually exclusive. Dancers are artistic athletes and should be treated as such.

2. Dancers need to be acknowledged as athletes and dance as a sport because it opens the door to accessing needed resources that their sports counterparts already enjoy.

3. Dance culture needs a paradigm shift in understanding and prioritizing dancer health and wellness. Dance medicine research and education has evolved to meet these increasing demands.

Special thank you to Dr. Melody Hrubes and Dr. Leada Malek for contributing to this important topic! Be sure to tune in again tomorrow at 7:30pm EST to discuss the topic โ€œWho is responsible for Dancerโ€™s Health?โ€

If youโ€™re a dancer, there is I high chance that at some point you will get injured. And donโ€™t be fooled, just because no-one around you is talking about it, doesnโ€™t mean that it doesnโ€™t happen!

In a 2022 study, yearly injury prevalence in pre-professional ballet dancers ranged from 32.1% to 67.4% across 5 years. Take a look around your studio, that means 1/3 to 2/3โ€™s of the dancers around you will have an injury.

Thatโ€™s a lot!!

But donโ€™t freak out, there are things that you can do about it

You can
1. Work on avoiding injury
Or
2. Have a plan in place if you get injured.

Here are some things you can do today!
โšก๏ธHave a consistent warm up and cool down routine.
โšก๏ธPut in the time to condition your body
โšก๏ธHave a plan for when things go wrong

Weโ€™ll talk more about all of these things more, as all of them deserve a deep dive to understand the doโ€™s and donโ€™ts. After all , we want you to get keep dancing!
