Dance Medicine at Association of Ballet Academies, Philippines, Inc. (ABAP)

Thank you very much to the Association of Ballet Academies, Philippines, Inc. (ABAP) for having us at their first Dance Convention held at St. Paul College Pasig! We had a session on dance injury and prevention (so much to discuss… we ran overtime) and another on first aid/emergency preparedness for ballet studios.

This two-day convention has two tracks, one for actual ballet classes/workshops and another for lecture-type learning sessions. Aside from our health-related bits this morning and pointe shoes, other talks were on social media engagement, nutrition, mental health and theatrical makeup.
