Description: The Winston-Salem Dance Medicine Conference (WiSDM) is a multi-disciplinary educational opportunity for physicians, allied health professionals, mental health professionals, dancers, dance instructors, and students to review (or learn anew) the fundamentals of dance medicine, including unique biomechanics, genre-specific considerations, and social/psychological demands that may influence performance and injury risk. The conference provides both instructional and networking opportunities in order to create an environment conducive to adult learning.

Objectives: Discuss dance terminology and how this will be used during a history. Review dance biomechanics and how that influences a physical examination. Describe different genres of dance (including the different demands they place on a dancer and how this can affect injury patterns).
