Question
Hi! At the moment I'm writing my master's thesis about the ballet dancers' injuries. I've already done the researches in Ballet school so I know what are the most common injuries but now I need some theory about teaching. How the excercises of ballet influence the injuries which touch the future, professional dancers?I have troubles with finding the books or articles according to it. Are you able to help me? Please:) It's very important.
Thank You in advance.
HI Artur. Ballet exercises taught and executed correctly prevent dance injuries. I have written many articles about ballet technique and how to prevent injury.
They are posted at my blog http://www.balletshoesandpointeshoes.blogspot.com
The blog goes back through 2007. I think you will find some pertinent information there.
All the best! Dianne

Expertise
I can answer questions about ballet positions, ballet movements and ballet technique, pointe shoes and pre pointe exercise, mens training, ballet diet, general health issues related to dance, artistry, performance, modern dance, rehabilitation from injuries, and teaching ballet. I have taught ballet, choreographed, produced and directed dance companies. For any answers related to health questions I will offer my experience, and give references to information, but I also automatically include "see a professional".
