This workshop will cover key considerations for an adolescent ballet dancer, including the impact of maturation on physical development, the importance of maturation on bone health and potential injury risk factors. We will also consider monitoring and recovery to minimise the associated injury risk factors, with some nutritional guidance and tips to support bone health.
