About the Screening Project

Summary

The screening assessment IS:

• A quick screen designed to find “red flags”
• Performed by health care professionals trained to administer the tests
• An opportunity for dancers to meet the health care team
• A source for individual referrals, recommendations and individualized preventative exercise programs
• A living document that changes regularly based on experience and the most recent research

The screening is NOT:

• A comprehensive physical evaluation
• Meant for students or non-professional dancers
• A research tool

Disclaimer

The Annual Post-Hire Screening Assessment was designed for the professional adult dancer. The screen is not appropriate as a tool in any other setting including school settings.
