In this episode, I'll discuss the adolescent growth spurt and how it affects young dancers. You'll learn the physical changes that happen in the body during this time, as well as how these changes relate to injury risk in dancers. Finally, I'll discuss the implications for dance, and what we as dance teachers, parents and healthcare providers can do to help dancers going through this transition.
