このコンテンツについて
In this insightful episode of Step Up Your Studio, we're joined by Dr. Linda Bluestein, a physician, former dancer, and one of the nation’s top experts on hypermobility and connective tissue disorders in performing artists.
If you’ve ever had students who are "too flexible" or struggle with recurring injuries, this is a must-listen. Dr. Bluestein breaks down the difference between healthy flexibility and hypermobility, the risks that come with it, and what every dance educator should watch for in their students.
You’ll learn:
- How to recognize hypermobility in dancers
- Why some students are more injury-prone than others
- Safer conditioning techniques for hypermobile performers
- The importance of interdisciplinary care in dance medicine
Dr. Bluestein also shares what inspired her to specialize in this field and how her own dance journey shaped her approach to care.
