Episode 70: Competition Countdown. Part 2 - Dancer First Aid

Erika Mayall Episode 70

Welcome to a new 4 part series - Competition Countdown. As dance competition season ramps up into full swing in most parts of North America, this series provides useful and usable content to help dancers, teachers, and parents get the most out of competition season. 

In part 2, we dive into what to do when things go wrong. No one wants to get injured, especially not during competition season, but unfortunately injuries happen. In this episode, I discuss whether first aid/medical coverage should be a standard part of dance competitions and battles. You'll also learn about the *new* PEACE & LOVE protocol to follow for injury first aid.
