Choreographing a Reduced Risk of Dance Injuries with Dr Jeff Russell
Science is not a big, scary monster, and it is necessary in dance! “Making Sense of Science: Choreographing a Reduced Risk of Dance Injuries” will be an interactive, enlightening trip into how science should inform the practice of dance to reduce the risk of injuries. This process will be compared to planning, creating, and executing choreography. While “injury prevention” is not realistically attainable, many injuries are not necessary. Thus, risk reduction is key. Young dancers’ bodies must be protected to improve performance ability and increase career longevity from a whole-person perspective.
