(1) Background: Dance teachers (DT) are dependent on their functional body. Pain can hardly be avoided during the professional practice of dance. Pain can become so intense that it impairs, or even prevents, the professional practice. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of pain intensity of the most severely affected body regions of DT in pain during the three-month period prior to the survey. (2) Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by an online survey. A total of 166 DT participated in the study; 143 of the DT were in pain during the three-month period and were included in the analysis. Using multiple linear regression, the determinants of pain intensity were identified from population parameters, occupational data, pain localisation, and temporal pain course. (3) Results: Regions of the lower extremity and head/trunk regions were most frequently indicated as the body regions with the most severe pain. The multiple regression model generated with the factors "functional impairment", "biomechanical exposure", and "pain at rest" explains a statistically significant, moderate proportion of the variance in pain intensity (R = 0.22, F (3, 106) = 10.04, < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Intensity of pain in DT seems to be related to the physical demands of professional practice.
(1) 背景：舞蹈教师（DT）依赖于他们的身体机能。在舞蹈的专业实践中，疼痛几乎是不可避免的。疼痛可能会变得如此剧烈，以至于会损害甚至阻止专业实践。本研究的目的是在调查前的三个月内，确定 DT 在疼痛中身体受影响最严重的部位疼痛强度的决定因素。
(2) 方法：这是一项横断面研究，通过在线调查进行。共有 166 名 DT 参与了这项研究；在三个月的时间里，有 143 名 DT 感到疼痛，并被纳入分析。使用多元线性回归，从人口参数、职业数据、疼痛定位和时间性疼痛过程中确定疼痛强度的决定因素。
(3) 结果：下肢和头部/躯干区域是最常被指出的疼痛最严重的身体区域。用“功能障碍”、“生物力学暴露”和“静息时疼痛”这三个因素生成的多元回归模型解释了疼痛强度的方差的统计学上显著的中等比例（R = 0.22，F（3, 106）= 10.04，<0.001）。
(4) 结论：DT 的疼痛强度似乎与专业实践的身体要求有关。
