Health screening and profiling

As part of this integrated approach to healthcare, students throughout the whole school undergo termly screening and profiling exercises, to gather research data and create individual conditioning programmes to support them in their training.

Sports science research

The school now uses a research database called Smartabase, to underpin the work of the Healthy Dancer Programme. Smartabase is used by healthcare teams at both The Royal Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet, which means our three organisations can collaborate, sharing research to contribute invaluable insights and expertise to the wider dance community.

We work with leading renowned institutions, such as Queen Mary University of London and St Mary's University, Twickenham, to achieve our aim to bring dance to the forefront of sports science.

The school is embedding research within its programme, including through a resident PhD in Sports Science. Fully understanding dancers' needs through this work means we can offer the best possible support.
