I don't watch DWTS much any more but I do remember episodes where contestants ended up in the emergency room or had to miss practices and performances due to spraining/breaking bones in training......probably less likely to happen to a well conditioned athlete as opposed to a middle aged actor but it would make me a bit nervous
which lessens the injury chances. Not fail safe, just less. The comment by Carrie Anne mentioned needing to dance in heels. If she is not used to wearing heels, that could be a disaster waiting to happen.
