This study investigates how different factors affect the balance of ballet dancers. It looks at how the degree of turnout, which is the rotation of the legs, influences a dancer's ability to maintain balance. The study also examines how different lighting and spatial conditions, such as using or not using mirrors and lights, impact dancers during their training and performances.

Participants will be observed under various conditions to see how these factors affect their balance and performance. The study will take place in Bloomington, focusing on classical ballet dancers from the IU Bloomington ballet department. No compensation will be provided for participation.

• Who can participate: Participants must be students at Indiana University-Bloomington, majoring in ballet at the Jacobs School of Music. They should not have any current lower extremity injuries, recent surgeries on their lower extremities, or vestibulocochlear dysfunctions that affect balance.
• Study details: Participants will undergo balance tests under different lighting and spatial conditions to assess their balance and performance. A placebo is not applicable in this study.
