About the Bridge dance project (BDP)

Origin

The Bridge Dance Project was created because there has been a growing concern about the increasing number of injuries to young dancers - about the body potentially being "pushed too hard / too far".  In Mia Michael's video #3, she mentions as an example a 16-year old dancer with a double hip replacement.  The field of Dance Medicine and Science has been in existence for 40 years, and up to this point, has positively influenced primarily the professional ballet and the academic dance communities. Unfortunately, this information has had very little crossover into the commercial and competition dance areas, aside from a few dedicated professionals striving to "spread the word".
