Purpose of Review <p>This review aims to comprehensively analyze the epidemiology, mechanisms, and risk factors of dance injuries, with a focus on incidence, anatomical distribution, injury types, and gender differences, to inform targeted prevention and treatment strategies.</p> Recent Findings <p>Recent studies highlight consistently high injury rates among dancers, particularly affecting the lower extremities (ankles, knees, feet). Muscle strains, ligament injuries, and chronic overuse conditions prevail, influenced by dance genre, training intensity, biomechanical factors, and psychological stressors. Gender differences reveal distinct patterns: females exhibit higher susceptibility to lower back and knee injuries, whereas males face higher risks of acute injuries in the lower back and feet.</p> Summary <p>Key findings underscore the need for discipline-specific and demographically tailored injury prevention programs. Modifiable risk factors-such as training methods, neuromuscular control, and psychological support-are critical for reducing injury prevalence. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies and interdisciplinary collaboration to optimize dancer safety and performance longevity.</p>
