Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!

Many thanks to Jared Redick, Assistant Dean for Ballet at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. During our 30-minute conversation, we discussed Jared's early exposure to ballet, ballet as an art form, and the physicality of ballet that exposes all dancers to bodily injury.

 

During our 30-minute discussion, Jared related his personal story of injury. While professionally dancing at age 21, Jared suffered an ACL tear after a high jump led to a bad landing. We discussed his barriers to recovery and how he overcame them. Jared also volunteered what he might have done differently, using the insights he has gained after many years of dancing and coaching other dancers.
