Abstract

Thirty years ago the introduction of on-site health care for professional dance companies was a novel concept and dance medicine clinicians often had limited on-site hours, restricted treatment space, and small budgets. Companies are now developing fully staffed on-site clinics and backstage care that provide a multidisciplinary approach to dancer health and wellness. On-site dance medicine programs focus on holistic dancer health and preventive care rather than just triage and rehabilitation. Best practice recommendations for care of professional dancer patients allow for streamlined patient care within a network of medical professionals who understand the demands of a professional dance career.
