Nico Kolokythas talks about his work at Elmhurst Ballet School, researching injury prevention and developing the "11+ dance". Nico discusses physical development in vocational training, the prevalence of injuries, and how existing injury prevention research may be applied to a dance domain. We chat through Nico's time and discoveries at Elmhurst, the development of the 11+ dance, and how this can be adapted for other settings.
