How many of you have ever been awestruck by the skill and talent that dancers and performing artists possess? If this is you, have you ever taken a moment to consider dancers as not only performing artists but as athletes? Dancers are highly trained and often fight through pain and injury to perform their craft with a smile .

In this episode with Dr. Danelle Dickson, a physical therapist based in Washington, D.C. who specializes in working with dancers and performing artists, we discuss these topics. Additionally we dive into how dancers can optimize their performance, decrease their injury risk and improve the longevity of their careers so that they can continue to do what they love for years to come.
