N2  - The needs of a dancer patient can be daunting to the uninitiated physician. A dancer's technique, environment, and mentality are unique among athletes. Compared with popular team sports, like American football, soccer or basketball, physicians are often unfamiliar with dancers' injuries and requirements to facilitate a safe, timely return to dance. The goal of this article is to help foster better communication between dancers and the medical community by describing dance epidemiology, dance basics including technique and characteristics, and some specific dance injuries.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
