TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Lateral bias, functional asymmetry, dance training and dance injuries JO - Journal of dance medicine and science A1 - Kimmerle, Marliese SP - 58 EP - 66 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - The purpose of this article is to: 1. provide a conceptual framework for consolidating laterality research in dance training from an interdisciplinary perspective; 2. encourage the reporting of lateral data; 3. promote the development of standardized methods for assessing lateral preference and functional asymmetry so that data sets from student screenings, lab studies, and injury reports can be compared; and 4. stimulate further laterality research in the dance studio to examine student preference and teaching bias, thereby promoting balanced training.
