Three hundred and fifty-two injuries in 185 theatrical dance students at the North Carolina School of the Arts were diagnosed and treated from September 1981 through May 1982, the most recent academic year. The total number of dancers enrolled in the school was 218; thus, 84.9% of the dance students were evaluated for an injury by a physician, with 87.8% of the injuries sustained during dance. Approximately one-fourth of the dance-related injuries involved the foot or ankle. The injuries were usually not severe, and proved amenable to treatment by conservative measures.
