title: A within-subject analysis of the effects of remote cueing on pelvic alignment in dancers.
abstract: Many professionals who treat and train dancers believe that good alignment at the pelvis can facilitate movement efficiency and reduce injury risk in a variety of dance genres. This study evaluated the effects of a remote cueing technique on pelvic alignment for dancers in a university-based professional training program. Two female dancers participated in 20-minute individualized observation and training sessions twice a week for eight weeks. Pelvic alignment improved to criterion levels for both dancers, suggesting that individualized approaches may have special utility in training dancers.
