„From idea to impact - prevention starts with movement.“
CENIT e.V. – Association for Interdisciplinary Dance Medicine
“Movement is the visible form of intention.”
— Martha Graham
Dance inspires – and challenges the body. When training and performance push physical limits, strain easily turns into injury.
CENIT e.V. is a non-profit initiative working to make prevention part of everyday dance – early, professional and accessible for all.

Our Vision & About CENIT e.V.
We work so that healthy dancing becomes the rule – not the exception.
Our Vision
Dance inspires – and it challenges the body. To ensure that physical strain does not turn into long-term limitation, we need prevention that is effective, evidence-based and accessible to everyone.
CENIT works to make dance prevention a natural part of our health culture – by making scientific knowledge visible, enabling research and supporting structures that help people of all ages dance healthily.
About CENIT e.V.
CENIT e.V. is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing dance health and injury prevention. We connect expertise from dance, medicine and science to make evidence-based knowledge accessible and to strengthen structures that enable healthy dancing for people of all ages.
We translate scientific insights into practice, foster cooperation between institutions, and promote frameworks that make prevention affordable and widely available.
Full organisational mission (German): Leitbild von CENIT e.V.
Expertise that protects movement.
We make knowledge from dance medicine and prevention accessible, and we foster the connections needed to ensure that healthy dance practice becomes the norm – not the exception.
Research & Evidence
We identify and communicate scientific findings on dance health and prevention. Rather than conducting our own studies, we highlight existing evidence and make it accessible to the wider dance community.
Structures & Practice Support
Prevention becomes effective when it is supported by suitable structures. We foster cooperation and frameworks that help integrate evidence-based health perspectives into everyday training environments.
Dialogue & Cooperation
We bring together schools, companies, health professionals and research partners to strengthen prevention across the dance field — without representing professional interests.
