Dear Martell School of Dance Parents,

We are pleased to partner with Certified Athletic Trainers at Akron Children’s Hospital with their dance outreach initiative. The program will provide free injury evaluations to the dancers. The injury checks would involve visiting the studio twice a month to evaluate the dancers’ possible injuries. In the case of an injury, exercises may be provided pertinent to the injury and an evaluation of their technique and biomechanics will be completed to determine what might contribute to the injury. We may refer dancers to see a doctor for further assessment. In order to reserve an appointment for an evaluation your child can sign up in the office of the Main Studio. This is available to all students, faculty, and staff.
