Educating the Educator to Reduce Risk of Dance Student Injury

May 23, 2018 updated by: NYU Langone Health
A group of dance educators will attend two dance injury prevention workshops hosted by the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries (HCDI), NYU Langone Medical Center, during which participants will learn strategies to help them train their students in safe ways and impart injury prevention information through their dance classes to their students. The educators will take pre- and post-workshop tests to assess knowledge and perceptions of dance medicine. Several weeks later, participants will take a follow-up survey to assess knowledge implementation and workshop effectiveness.
