Dance Research Opportunity

Hey, Minnesota Dancers!

Are you or someone you know a dancer interested in an opportunity  to participate in a research study?
If yes, you must have been dancing for 3 hours per week for the past 2 years to participate.

As a participant in a research study of flexibility, motor control, and kinematics of the hip joint, participants’ hip range of motion will be assessed and you will be taught exercises and stretches to perform before we test you again in three weeks.

You get to be a part of a research, try some new exercises out, and get compensated Amazon gift cards. Participants will also be awarded a $10 Amazon gift certificate for the initial visit and another $10 for the follow up!

If you are interested or have questions pertaining to the research, please email the principal investigator Dr. Ana Ribeiro at ribeiro@augsburg.edu or Janell Howard, Research Assistant, at howardjj@augsburg.edu.

We would love to have dancers participate in this opportunity and get to know more dancers in the Twin Cities! Thank you for your time and consideration and support.
