Ballet Science Blog

The official blog for the Ballet Science podcast, available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

Your spine isn’t meant to be stiff, straight, or locked in place. It’s designed to move, absorb load, and adapt, and understanding its natural curves can instantly change your ballet technique.

In this episode of the Ballet Science Podcast, former professional ballerina and biomechanics Ph.D. Caroline Simpkins breaks down the bones of the spine and explains how each region… the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine… supports the technical demands of ballet.
