There are many assumptions about dance conditioning which are thought to be “myths” and have no basis in fact. The use of kinesiological analysis is relatively new to dance and many of the “old wive's tales” of dance conditioning are still passed on in some dance studios. Following are listed four assumptions about dance conditioning: 1. The dancer who works with weights will develop excessive muscle bulk. 2. If a dancer increases strength of a given area or muscle group, there will be a reduction of the range of motion of that area. 3. If a dancer increases range of motion at a given joint in one direction (for example: inward rotation of the hip joint), there will be an equal reduction of the range of motion in the opposite direction (in this case, outward rotation). 4. The cardiovascular conditioning received in technique class is sufficient to achieve high physical performance levels
