Lower limb injuries in dancers are a very common complication preventing them from maximizing their performance or even causing one to end their dance career. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic stability using the Y-balance test (YBT) in professional folk dancers in comparison with the non-dancers. The study involved 30 folk dancers from the Urpin Folk Group and a control sample of 30 individuals from the general. Analysis of the results showed no statistically significant difference between the folklorist group and the control group in the anterior direction. However, the differences between groups were statistically significant for the posteromedial direction with the medium effect size for both legs and for the posterolateral direction with the strong effect size for both legs. The differences in the composite score for the right leg were not statistically significant with the small effect size, yet the difference in the left leg in the composite score was statistically significant with the strong effect. The results of the study indicate that folk dancers present poorer dynamic balance compared to the general population
