National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science (NIDMS)
One Dance UK is a proud NIDMS partner – the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science.
The National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science (NIDMS) was founded in 2012 out of a need for greater provision of dance medicine and science services for performers, identified through research carried out by Dance UK since 1989.
Through high-quality scientific knowledge, evidence-based practice and better, more affordable access to first-class dance specific healthcare and dance science support services across the UK, NIDMS work to enhance dancers’ health, wellbeing and performance.
NIDMS has six nationwide partners that form the core of the Institute; these are One Dance UK, Birmingham Royal Ballet, The Royal Ballet, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, University of Birmingham and the University of Wolverhampton. NIDMS also works with clinical partners who are integral in the establishment of further NHS dance injury clinics and support the ongoing work and mission of the NIDMS partners.
Wolverhampton taster session attendee
I loved my taster screening session! It was all new to me, the physio/the screen test so I was very excited to take part. I discovered habits of my body that I didn't know I had. The staff were very helpful in breaking down the science of my body and what I can do to get rid of my bad habits to optimise my performance. I received tips of how I can tweak my training to make sure I am really pushing myself and I really appreciated that. All in all, it was a fun session and lots of insightful information was shared. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering to try out this taster session to DO IT!
