I'm just wondering what kind of injuries that you dancers have recieved from dancing? ex: broke your leg, arm, back etc etc

I've only sprains my angle O_O, I jumped in the air and landed straight on my feet =_=


share your story

[CtlunatC]

[Bboy_CL1]

messed up my wrist from doing airchair freezes , took a month to heal

[benjaminlibl]

Don't want to jinx it but suprisingly I have never gotten injured through dancing. I don't even warm up or stretch eithers.

i was dancing in heels and i stepped wrong. after like two days it got better though. i still dance with heels on. rofl.

[Kristen Kim]

I broke my leg during practice and I've sprained my ankle more than I care to remember.

I do ballet, so most people might not know what I'm talking about...

I was wearing brand new pointe shoes- meaning they were BRAND NEW: hard, inflexible, and slippery. pretty much....hard to work with.
so we were doing pique turns across the floor to the left (my bad side) and suddenly I ended up face down on the ground.
My ankle had twisted underneath myself when I went to pique. Surprisingly it wasn't my ankle that was badly injured, it was my knee that really got scrreeeewwwed.
yuh. wasn't fun. but luckily, that was a year ago, and now I'm (almost) back to normal. just really really paranoid

Today i was looking at my friends head
and it was like huge scars and red bloodness on it.
and im like Oh dang.... what happened THERE?
and he said he was breakdancing on CONCRETE floor...
and scrapped... and ouch... T^T

[Xcstasy]

I dislocated my knee and...
It was a nightmare.
The pain was unimaginable esspecially
when putting it back in place.

I was crippled for 2 weeks...
it was so sad

and my doctor says, after the third time
it will dislocate all the time and
this is my second

I don't think I can handle the pain...
but he also said after a while
it doesn't hurt when dislocating it a lot...
YAY?!?

I hate new pointe shoes...

And the left side. XP


I got scratches from my costumes? Uhm... I fell a bunch of times and got some bruises... Especially when we do contemporary because of the falls and rolls. My knees were bruised, but they went away. Now, I don't get bruises anymore.

[ignoreme]

ok i did say before i didn't have any injuries but recently while i was making/chreographing a new dance routine
i decided to put some new moves like front/back flip, cartwheel, baby freeze, headspin[?] and splits which ripped my pants:lol: cos i didn't have anything on my mind at that moment...but now i have lots and i regret that my brain was empty at the minute.

bak to what injury happened
-i nearly broke my arm while doing cartwheel cos i slipped since i did it in field wen it was raining
-there wasn't any mats so i kinda hurt my bak doing back-flip...again slipped
-headspin[?] was so fun doing that i forgot to turn the gas off and it had hot water boiling which was right in above me....wen i tried to turn the gas off the water fell which burned half of my arm...almost normal and again i slipped so my neck is gone weird
thankfully i didn't break anything. i won't be able to dance for nearly 1whole year which is really frustrating

eekkk I know.

oh yes contemporary/modern class....we're like all over the floor doing rolls or random squats and jumps and by the end of the hour my knees are screaming...hahahha. It's actually really funny because during normal class we look all "graceful" and "professional" and then..there we are, the clumsiest beings on the face of the earth.

[JaeMinluvr85]

I never got serious injuries like breaking any bone or what not but I do get bruises a lot like yesterday I was breaking and I'm still very new at it so I was practicing to do a freeze where all the weight is on my shoulder. Breakers I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm talking about. Yeah well after that and taking a bunch of other dance classes, I am sore as heck!!!!!

But nothing serious and I hope to keep It that way

[emeraldsgirl33]

hmm, well the usual bruises of course. and im farely certain that the reason why my shoulder is kinda screwy is somehow related to dance but hey whatev. hmmmm, STUPIDEST moment would have to be the day of a dance competition when i walked out the door and twisted my ankle when i was stepping down. =.=' had the mother grab some ice and one of my ace wraps (couldnt use it till after the comp anyways tho) and we headed to the competition. competed poms, hiphop, and my jazz/lyrical (cant remember which one) solo. during my solo when i did my flags my knee totally gave out (it pops out and then back in every now and then) and i landed on the hurt ankle.......
hmmm, some general aches and pains from trying to self teach myself some breaking (when i have time).

so far................

[wintermelontea]

well..i've never got injuries caused by dancing..=D
just some muscle ache after dancing, cuz i didn't warm up properly..xD
then it would heal 2-3 days after =D

[Cha_Diana01]

lol i remember hurting my right ankle from dancing like a month ago.. x.x when i feel down i had to dragged myself to the couch. T_T it hurted for about 2 days... when i could walk again!! .. although it still hurts whenever i sit on it now. >__<

[PDURRR]

haha one this one saturday night we were performing and dumbass me ran into someone and practically tripped and pulled my calf muscle? or watever hahah >_< like when the calve is all tensed up and stuck there until it relaxes finally but then its like a pinkberry to walk afterwards. what sucked if that i had to perform again the day after, but yeah i did it anyways. it wasn't so bad..just had to stretch like alot before the show....lol sad thing is that it was caught on video too HAHAH so embarassing to watch lol.

[KoweanTeddie]
