The aim of this publication is primarily an attempt to describe the dancers’ profession and to identify the most important problems related to its execution. An additional objective of this article is to make an initial analysis of the literature. The reason which prompted the author to undertake such a purpose, is apparent paucity of studies in the existing literature.
