Today in the podcast we've got a great conversation with Dr. Karen Clippinger from Cal State Long Beach.  Our topic today is the use of anatomy and biomechanics to help dancers perform better (and recover from injuries). Dr. Clippinger is brought to us by the TAMU program in Dance Science!

Randy Dick, co-founder and co-developer of the Athletes and the Arts initiative joins us today in the podcast.  This initiative is working to link the sports medicine world with the world of performing artists such as vocalists, musicians, and dancers.  As you've heard from several of our previous podcasts, there are many overlaps between sports medicine and performing arts so this initiative is timely.

We are joined in the podcast today by Ms. Jennie Morton, a renowned vocalist and dancer who is also an osteopath and works to help performers stay healthy.  She has performed on the West End and travels the world doing workshops on proper practices for health in performers. And if you've wondered how performers can dance and sing at the same time, you need to listen to the podcast!
