Safe dance

The term ‘safe dance’ was created by Hilary Trotter, editor of Ausdance’s three Safe Dance Reports, published between 1990 and 1999. The term described ground-breaking research into the incidence of dancers’ injuries, and the recommendations resulting from that research which outline injury prevention and management strategies.

Safe Dance Reports

Safe dance practice now encompasses all essential knowledge for teachers, choreographers and students. Ausdance has been particularly active in facilitating new research and information services for the dance teaching profession, with the Australian Guidelines for Dance Teachers and the Interim Competency Standards providing specific safe dance guidelines.
