While many pre-teen and teenage dancers want to amp up dance commitments,&nbsp;growth periods may not be the best time for adding more technically demanding routines. Stick to basic movements, build central strength, and once in better control, be more ready to step up the skill requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Am I still getting over a past injury?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325\" src=\"https:\/\/backstagesocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance.jpg\" alt=\"HistoryofPerformance\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance.jpg 960w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/historyofperformance-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Bottom Line: Trying to push through a past injury that hasn&#8217;t fully healed is a recipe for future trouble.

If your age in years is lower than the number of hours of organized dance activities per week, your injury risk goes up in dramatic fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">With any dance overuse injury, an accurate diagnosis and step-wise, coordinated return-to-dance plan is essential. Working with medical professionals who understand and appreciate the demands of dance can put you on a path to safer and more satisfying times on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The ideal return-to-dance plans focus more on &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">what can a dancer do&#8221; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">than on &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">what can&#8217;t a dancer do.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> A solid plan also encourages communication between medical providers, dancers, and their instructors to allow sensible and acceptable participation as an absolute &#8220;no dance&#8221; policy is rarely needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The step-wise coordinated return may include elements such as marking steps, increased use of mirrors and barres, and initially limiting leaps, turns, jumps and partnering. Reviewing technique and making focused corrections can not only aid in the immediate return process, but also reduce the risk of future injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><strong>Dr. Chris Koutures is a dual board-certified pediatric and sports medicine specialist who practices at ActiveKidMD in Anaheim Hills, CA.
