Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent. -- Kenneth H. Cooper
A dancer's life is hard - it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career. -- Monica Cruz
I believe it's extremely important to include some other type of fitness activity in your training, so cross training will help you to avoid injury when you are dancing. -- Laurieann Gibson
Every dancer has injuries, and your injury could happen that season that you were getting that one part that you've wanted to do your whole career. So you have to appreciate every single moment until it happens. -- Amanda Schull
I endured quite a few injuries when I was younger and had my first surgery on my foot when I was 15. But I love dancing. 'Anna Karenina' was great for me as it meant I could combine the two and I actually went back and did some classes. -- Alicia Vikander
A lot of professional dancers become professional when they turn 15 or 16 years old, when they're still children. So you've trained every single waking moment up until that point for a career that could maybe only last 10 years, maybe longer if your body holds up, if your injuries are kept at bay. -- Amanda Schull
I like to always remind my dancers about ways to avoid injury. One of the basic ways to avoid injury is to always make sure to stretch and warm up your body. This will loosen up your muscles, which will help to avoid common strain injuries such as shin splints and ankle strains. -- Laurieann Gibson
As a former football player who has carried a football more than 4,000 times, trust me, I did not go into ballroom dancing with my body being 100 percent, with no aches or pains or ailments coming with me. When you're dancing, you're doing stuff that your body's not used to, and so you start to aggravate those old injuries. -- Emmitt Smith
