Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining the relationship between pain and athletic identity among adolescent ballet dancers. Conducted in 2022, the research involved 44 American female ballet dancers aged 10 to 18, who completed surveys to assess how pain affects their connection to dance. Findings indicated that dancers experiencing pain had higher scores of athletic identity, particularly in terms of exclusivity and negative affectivity, and trained significantly more than those without pain. The study emphasizes the need for dancers to incorporate rest and recovery into their training and highlights the importance of dancer-specific education on coping with injury and pain to support their overall well-being.
