Online-Survey about health promotion in professional dance

The project is a cooperation between the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Stiftung TANZ – Transition Center Germany and supported by the Federal Government Commissioner of Culture and Media as well as the Berlin Public Sector Accident Insures (UKB).

It is our concern to promote the health of professional dancers, ballet masters, assistants, instructors, dance teachers and choreographers.

The questionnaire is the basis for a study being carried out national wide. It contains questions regarding lifestyle, everyday problems as well as occupational-related diseases. the aim is to develop appropriate measures to maintain and promote your health.

This is exactly why we are asking you as experts for support. Each completed questionnaire will be of great value and benefit for us. We herewith guarantee that all data provided will be anonymized. It goes without saying that you will be informed on the results of this survey.

Dance meets science

What happens when dancers and scientist meet in order to develop a research project together? How do both sides profit from one another? What difficulties are they confronted by?

Tamed is currently accompanying a research project in which dance professors from the Palucca Hochschule für Tanz Dresden and scientists from the University of Bielefeld developed an experiment together in order to more closely investigate “learning movement in dance”. tamed is reporting the progression of this projection in a blog and can offer insight into the specifics of this cooperation.

The Berlin Senate’s offers for further and continuing education

You don’t always have to study for a degree. An inexpensive and quick alternative are the Berlin Senate’s offers for continuing education for teachers, child care workers, pedagogic personnel in schools and teachers for further education. Many events are open to all interested parties who are not childcare workers, social educators or teachers employed in the state school system, but work for independent institutions or are self-employed.

For example: from October 2014 to February 2015 on a total of four two-day meetings, you have the opportunity to educate yourself about “Dance in Early Pedagogy”, i.e., teaching dance to children who are two to six years old. The fee for Kita (kindergarden) employees: € 215,00. Careful: the number of participants is limited.

Junior high school diploma

In order to develop your career, you need a junior high school diploma and, if you want to study, a high school diploma (Abitur). Since diplomas are regulated by the German Länder and not the federal government, it makes sense to research in the Land that you reside in. You can find helpful information at:
