ABSTRACT
Kinesiology is the study of human motion. College-level courses for the dancer in the science of kinesiology and injury prevention should be at least a year in length and should include the most recent research in the field of dance science and medicine. Traditionally, courses such as kinesiology have been found in the physical education departments of colleges and universities. It is important, however, that specialists in dance as an art form be available to instruct preprofessional performers and future teachers in the science of human movement and safe performance.
