The primary research was conducted by a questionnaire compiled by 47 elementary and high school dance students, of which 21 were elementary and 26 high school dance students. Schools that agreed to participate in the research were Ana Maletić School for Contemporary Dance, School for Classical Ballet and Artistic Dance School Silvija Hercigonja; parental consent was obtained for students under the age of 18. The primary goal was to determine injury prevalence, number of injuries, as well as to establish which body parts are most commonly injured among contemporary and ballet dance school students in Zagreb. The secondary goal was to determine whether there is any difference in the number of injuries and injured body parts between elementary and high school dance students. Overall results show that most injured body parts are foot and ankle (41%), followed by knees (23%), arms/hands (10%), shoulders (9%), back (7%), head (5%) and finally hips (4%). The greatest number of injuries was noticed in lower extremities (hips, knees, feet/ankles), which constitutes 67% of the overall number of injuries among all dancers (96 injuries in total). The research has revealed no statistically significant increase in sustained injuries among high school dance students in comparison to elementary school students. The same also applies to lower extremity injuries, although a general increase in injuries is noticeable among high school dance students (29%). The research has shown that the greatest increase in number of injuries occurs in shoulder joint injuries, where the number of injuries among high school dance students was eight times larger than among elementary school students. The cause of these injuries remains unclear, but it can be assumed that the increase in number of injuries is associated with the fact that high school students have more dancing hours in comparison to elementary school students. Most common injuries among elementary school dancers are foot/ankle injuries (45%), followed by knee (25%), arm/hand (10%), head (7,5%), back and hip (5% respectively) and shoulder injuries (2,5%), while among high school dance students most common injuries are foot/ankle injuries (37,5%), followed by knee (21,4%), shoulder (14,3%), arm/hand (10,7%), back (8,9%) and finally head and hip injuries (3,6% respectively). Further research is needed on injury causes, as well as the consequences and effects they might have in future students’ dance education and their professional dance career.
