Dance is a reasonably safe sport if certain guidelines are followed, but there is always the inherent risk of injury as in any athletic or performance based activity. Dance Team is an anaerobic/aerobic activity which includes jumping, stunting, running, powerful motions, and occasional tumbling. An up to date physical must be on file with the team before you may physically participate in any practices or performances following tryouts and the district dance showcase. You must keep your director/coach informed of all injuries and/or chronic conditions as soon as they happen, as well as your progress to recovery. Although the probability of injury is minimized if you practice correctly, there is always the possibility of one occurring. Injuries that can occur in Dance Team include, but are not limited to the following: Blisters, muscle strains, bruises, ligament sprains, joint and muscle soreness, abrasions, contusions, stress fractures, broken bones, spinal cord injuries involving paralysis, and even death. However, if you take certain precautions, the possibility of such injuries will be largely decreased.

• NEVER stunt or tumble or attempt any skills unless a director or director's designee gives permission
• Always practice in the presence of a qualified instructor
• Always warm-up appropriately before dancing (practice and performance)
