Article Synopsis
- Extreme postures in ballet can lead to higher injury risks, and though mirrors are used for self-correction, they might negatively impact performance and kinesthetic awareness.
- A study was conducted with 10 female dancers to compare muscle activity, heart rate, and perceived exertion between mirror and non-mirror conditions during different dance tasks.
- Findings showed no significant differences in muscle activity or heart rate, but dancers felt their artistic expression suffered in the absence of a mirror, highlighting a need for further research on the psychological effects of visual feedback in dance.
