The Healthy Dancer

When I do research into looking for other blogs like mine, more often I find websites that are selling exercises and advice on injuries.  Honestly there aren't many blogs specifically about injury, many have one or two posts about them but not an entire blog dedicated to them. I came across a blog called The Healthy Dancer and I thought it was a very informative blog for dancers, not specifically on injury but many of her posts inform on how to keep a dancer healthy.

The woman who writes the blog studied dance education and exercise science and has taught dance at many institutions. I think her posts are very detailed about what things to be aware of in order to be a healthy dancer. She focuses mostly on nutrition which is very important in keeping dancers healthy but she explains in detail how everything can affect dancers specifically. Such as her The Female Athlete Triad and What It Means for Dancers post where she talks about caloric energy deficiency, irregular menstrual cycles, and osteoporosis. All of which can increase the risk of injury.

Overall I think it's a great blog that is highly informative in the world of health for dancers. I recommend checking it out!
