We have not yet had the opportunity to interview this dance blog, if you are associated with the blog please have someone from the blog email us at Brittany@BDancewear.com to set up an interview (only takes a few minutes and it’s free).
In the meantime here is some quick insights about this dance blog from their website.
Art Intercepts is a blog and online resource for dancers, teachers, and dance enthusiasts. Initially, Lauren Warneke’s goal in starting this site was geared around filling the gap between the dance community and the scientific community. As a graduate student in Kinesiology, Lauren found dancers don’t understand the scientific research that is being done for the field and scientists don’t always understand the needs of the community. But, it is more than a dance blog. It is a place that creates opportunities to engage the dance community and its audience in discussion and research to better the field. They actively promote the use of evidence-based practices and tangible discussion online and off to improve artistry, dance education, and the dancer’s career. As dance evolves, so do the demands placed on dancers. Former professional dancer, trainer, and doctoral student Lauren Warnecke uses scientifically supported methods to train dancers as the athletes they are. By doing so, she and her co-workers in the scientific community hope to improve performance, reduce the rate and severity of injury, decrease time away from work, reduce pain, and decrease the amount of pressure and stress that revolving around injury.
