Risk of Injury… From Pushing Dance Moves Beyond Limits
Dancers often push their bodies to the limit while having limited time to rest and recover. Overusing the body beyond its capacity can lead to declining health and injuries.
- Muscle Strains: Overworking the muscles or sudden intense tension can result in muscle injuries or tears.
- Back Pain: Caused by lifting heavy dance props, improper bending movements, or incorrect dance techniques, which can strain and injure the back muscles.
- Knee Injuries: Forcing foot movements, losing control during jumps, or improper landings can lead to twisted knees or torn knee cartilage.
- Achilles Tendinitis: Overusing the ankles, dancing on hard surfaces, or performing quick, unbalanced movements can inflame the Achilles tendon.
- Shoulder Tendonitis: Lifting arms excessively high, falling, or experiencing strong impacts can cause shoulder tendon tears.
- Neck Pain: Rapid or frequent head movements can easily lead to neck muscle strain or tension.

How to Prevent Injuries and Enjoy Every Dance Step
Injuries and the dancing profession often go hand in hand, but the risks can be minimized and unexpected accidents avoided by taking the following steps:
- Warm-Up and Cool-Down: Stretch all muscle groups thoroughly before and after exercising to increase flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
- Check Your Physical Condition: If you’re injured, lacking rest, or feeling unwell, take a break to allow your body to recover fully.
- Wear Proper Attire: Choose clothing that fits snugly and does not cause accidents while dancing. Avoid loose or baggy outfits.
- Select a Suitable Dance Venue: Ensure the dance floor is appropriate—level, non-slippery, and safe for continuous movement, to reduce the chance of accidents.
