Parents may consult family physicians about the safety of dance training for their children. Injuries in dance training are characteristically associated with improper technique, a poor training environment and fatigue. Many dance injuries can be prevented through attention to the physical and emotional maturity of the child, the quality of the instruction and the training environment. Quality dance training is safe and beneficial for children of any age.
