This workshop presentation uses anatomical terms and images to involve the participants in identifying, isolating, aligning, and strengthening essential body parts. Dance injuries usually result from interaction among identifiable risk factors. Hence, those who attend to the medical needs of dancers, those who train them, and dancers themselves should develop a holistic view of the etiology of dance injuries. This lecture introduces as many of these risk factors as time allows. This presentation utilizes Ms. Solomon's research in dance medicine and science to illustrate how the findings of this field can be applied in teaching dance technique.
