Typical hazards & measures
Ventilation, heat and air quality
— Monitor temperature, humidity and CO₂, open high windows or run HVAC between groups, shorten high-intensity sections during heat alerts, provide airflow for cool-downs, and postpone strenuous drills when the studio becomes excessively warm.
Progression to pointe/acro/aerial
— Introduce high-risk skills only after documented screening of age, strength, alignment and injury history, use staged pre-pointe or acro progressions with spotting aids, cap exposure per session, and remove any pupil who reports pain, numbness or instability.
Supervision, competence and ratios
— Set ratios by age and genre, keep full line of sight across the studio, verify teacher competence for higher-risk techniques, brief cover adults before class, and stop activity immediately if safety rules are ignored.
Fatigue and overexertion
— Balance lesson plans to alternate demanding and technical sections, permit opt-outs at fatigue signals, finish with a controlled cool-down, reduce repetitions before exams or after competitions, and communicate rest needs to parents.
Inadequate warm-up and cool-down
— Lead a progressive warm-up covering pulse, joint mobilisation and genre-specific drills, then finish with a cool-down and gentle stretching; reduce intensity after absences or injuries; and prohibit cold starts by requiring timely, suitable arrival dress.
