Sonia Rafferty, dance science practitioner, begins by discussing her values and ethos in dance science. We look at the language used around dance science and the potential impacts of this on the connections with the wider dance community. Sonia talks about Safe in Dance International, the importance of awareness of the dancing body and mind, and practitioner experience. We also mention the effects of teaching online on student experience, and potential for future research in this area.
