Vision for the IADMS Bulletin for Dancers & Teachers

The Bulletin exists to bridge research and practice in dance medicine, science and education. Our vision is to create a publication that:

• Connects: Translates peer-reviewed research into accessible, engaging and practically useful insights for dancers and teachers.
• Respects: Meets educators and artists where they are, valuing their lived knowledge and artistry alongside scientific evidence.
• Empowers: Provides tools, strategies and resources that can be applied immediately in studios, classrooms, and rehearsal spaces.
• Communicates: Uses clear writing, visuals and multimodal formats (e.g. diagrams, videos, lesson plans, pedagogical frameworks) to make ideas tangible and adaptable.
• Dialogues: Encourages reflection, adaptation and feedback, positioning the Bulletin as a space for ongoing conversation between researchers, teachers and dancers.
• Centers wellbeing and artistry: Ensures that every piece contributes to healthy, inclusive and sustainable dance practices.
