Biomechanics in Dance

Biomechanics in dance studies how the body's movements and forces work together during dance. It examines how muscles, bones, and joints work to create precise, controlled motion, helping dancers improve technique and prevent injury. By understanding the physics behind movement—such as balance, leverage, and force transfer—dancers can optimize their performance and execute movements more efficiently. This scientific approach combines principles of physics, anatomy, and physiology to analyze and enhance the art of dance, ensuring movements are both expressive and physically sustainable.
