Abstract
<h3>Background</h3> Several studies have investigated injury in specific genres (i.e., ballet, contemporary) and/or levels (i.e., pre-professional, professional) of dance. Less is known about injuries sustained during the teaching of dance, which accounts for the highest proportion of the global dance community. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the risk of injury associated with participation in organized dance education. <h3>Design</h3> Systematic review. <h3>Setting</h3> Formal dance education (e.g., community classes, dance schools/studios, university programs). <h3>Patients (or Participants)</h3> Dance students and teachers. <h3>Main Outcome Measurements</h3> Six electronic databases were searched to August 2020 (Medline, EMBASE, SportDiscus, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Cochrane). Inclusion criteria were: original data from dance teacher/student samples, injury and exposure related to formal dance classes, any dance genre. Studies were excluded if no estimate of exposure was reported, if injuries occurred during rehearsal/performance, or if dance was used as a therapeutic intervention or for exercise. Two reviewers independently assessed each paper for inclusion at abstract and full text screening stages. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Level of Evidence tool. <h3>Results</h3> Twenty-five papers were included. Most studies (n=22) focused on dance students only, two included only dance teachers, and one study included both. The quality of studies ranged from poor to moderate. For students and teachers, most injuries were overuse/chronic and involved the lower limb. Student injury rates were estimated at 0.8–9.3 injuries/1000 h. In dance teachers, a single study described 732 pain reports/1000 h and injury incidence estimates ranged from 0.86–1.25 injuries/dance teacher. Due to limited investigation of risk factors, results could not be stratified by sex, age, or dance style. <h3>Conclusions</h3> There have been few primary investigations of injury in dance education settings, despite large rates of dance participation. Consistent injury and exposure definitions, and high-quality prospective studies are needed for examining injury risk in the dance teaching environment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
