Abstract

Background: Dance students train for long hours from a young age, utilising movements requiring extreme ranges of motion for aesthetic performance. A high prevalence of injury exists in dance with Cahalan and colleagues (2018) reporting 29 contemporary dance students sustaining 155 injuries in a training year, indicating dancers often get injured more than once. A systematic review by Kenny et al. (2015) shows previous injury to be a risk factor for future injury in pre-professional dance. This paper aims to report on subsequent injury across participation in a three-year tertiary dance training program.
