Dance Specific Fitness Tests

The Dance Specific Fitness Tests are the first scientifically validated tests designed specifically for contemporary dancers.

Research shows that cardiorespiratory fitness is an important part of a dancer’s training because the physiological demands of dance performance can be extremely high. Dancers need good stamina to work at their best, delay the onset of fatigue and help prevent fatigue-induced injuries.
