Science behind DanceSport
Science behind DanceSport is a dedicated section providing access to a curated repository of scientific articles and academic research focused on DanceSport.The resources are thematically categorized into key domains such as Biomechanics, Physiology, Psychology, Injury Prevention, Motor Learning, and Performance Analysis.
This initiative aims to bridge the gap between science and practice by promoting evidence-based knowledge among dancers, coaches, adjudicators, and educators. By exploring the latest research, the DanceSport community can gain deeper insights into the physical, mental, and technical demands of the discipline supporting more informed training, safer practices, and enhanced performance. This platform reflects WDSF's commitment to advancing DanceSport through the integration of scientific understanding.
