At Dance Education Canada, we know that dance educators wear many hats. Their role goes well beyond the teaching of steps, and choreography of dances. In order for dance educators to support their dancers' overall health and well-being they require an education in, and understanding of, dance injury prevention. Above and beyond the more general dance injury prevention, today we are going to focus specifically on overuse injuries. Helping us learn about some of the most common overuse injuries and, physical compensations is Dr. Julieann Berg.

GUEST: As a young dancer with over 20 years of dance training in everything from ballet to modern and even Latin dance, Dr. Berg is no stranger to the dance world. Dr. Berg received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Columbia University in 2017. Her clinical experience includes treating pediatric patients, adults and dancer athletes through telehealth and in-person sessions. Julieann enjoys educating dancers and dance educators through content creation and workshops.
