Event Description: The Winston-Salem Dance Medicine Conference (WiSDM) is a multi-disciplinary educational opportunity for physicians, allied health professionals, dancers, dance instructors, and students to review (or learn anew) the fundamentals of dance medicine, including unique biomechanics, genre-specific considerations, and social/psychological demands that may influence performance and injury risk. The conference provides both instructional and networking opportunities in order to create an environment conducive to adult learning.
Objectives
Incorporate considerations of the terminology biomechanics of breaking, ballet, contemporary, ballroom, hip-hop and ballroom dance into their dance-specific history and physical examination.
Understand the risks and benefits of early dance specialization and develop methods to assess for injury prevention.
Understand how dance is a multi-sensory experience and learn how to approach an injured dancer with a broad scope and multidisciplinary team.
Incorporate nutrition and mental health components into assessment, treatment, and performance optimization for dancers.
Incorporate a standardized approach to pointe shoe fitting to detect risk factors for injury and make suggestions for performance or risk factor reduction.
Discuss leading research in various dance genres and incorporate recommendations for injury treatment and prevention.
