Marjorie A. Moore, PT, MS(kines), PhD, was a member of IADMS from 1991 until her untimely death in 2010. She made poster, oral, and panel presentations at IADMS Annual Meetings, and she published in the Journal of Dance Medicine & Science. She served on the IADMS Research Committee from 1999 to 2010, becoming involved in most of its activities, including serving as editor of the IADMS Newsletter's Research Forum, evaluating student research papers for the annual Student Research Awards and Student Travel Grants, compiling policies regarding human subject use declarations from other scientific journals, developing the Presentation Proposal Guidelines (for various types of abstracts submitted to IADMS Annual Meetings), rating "model" abstracts for future inclusion in those Guidelines, and judging the poster competition at the Annual Meeting.
Dr. Moore was an associate professor at the College of St. Catherine, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. She taught gross anatomy dissection, neuroscience, embryology, radiology and tissue biomechanics, primarily to graduate students in physical therapy. A consummate teacher and the recipient of three teaching awards during her 30 years as a college teacher, she enriched the lives of many and empowered all with new knowledge and new skills. She used her knowledge to provide editorial assistance with sections of two textbooks used by the dance education community: Sally Fitt's Kinesiology for Dance, and Michael Alter's The Science of Stretching. The work that she did behind the scenes to benefit the Association, its members, and the dancers we serve is very important, yet only a few of us know that she has did it. We appreciate her for her contributions to the many who have and will continue to benefit from her efforts. The integrity of her work, and the humble way in which she approached it, offers a role model to which many will aspire. The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science is pleased to honor Dr. Marjorie Moore for her lifetime of service to dancers and to the dance medicine and science communities. |

Presented at the IADMS 20th Annual Meeting October 28, 2010 Birmingham, UK Mr. Justin Howse was educated at Uppingham School and at Middlesex Hospital, University of London. He served as Registrar in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at St. Richard’s Hospital, Chichester; as Orthopaedic Registrar at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospitals, London; and as Senior Orthopaedic Registrar at Middlesex Hospital, London. In 1966 he became Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Central Middlesex Hospital, London and St. Vincent’s Orthopaedic Hospital, Eastcote. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Howse began working as Orthopaedic Consultant to the Royal Ballet and the Royal Ballet School, taking over from Mr. Ivor Robertson.
In 1972, Mr. Howse published an article entitled "Orthopaedists Aid Ballet” in the journal Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, which is fascinating in its prescience. Building on the work of Mr. Robertson, Mr. Howse writes, "All injuries…are the result of faulty dance technique.” Then, in the space of twelve pages he discusses the athletic nature of dance, the types of injuries (from neck to foot), the methods of treatment, and the psychological aspects of rehabilitation. He goes on to say "in an effort to prevent injuries, all ballet teachers should have a simple basic knowledge of anatomy to enable them to understand more fully and appreciate an individual student’s difficulties.” In 1988, Mr. Howse provided a means to follow this recommendation; he published a book entitled Dance Technique and Injury Prevention. Now in its fourth edition (with the word Anatomy added at the beginning of the title), the book covers basic anatomy and physiology before discussing the diagnosis and treatment of the full spectrum of dance injuries. In 1980, Mr. Howse established the Remedial Dance Clinic (later the RDC Physiotherapy Clinic) on Harley Street in London. For the next twenty years ballet, contemporary, and musical theatre dancers – from London, the UK, and around the world – came for consultation and treatment. Physicians, surgeons, and physiotherapists from these same places came to observe Mr. Howse and learn about the care of dancers. It was eye-opening for visitors to observe a busy orthopaedic surgeon relating many injuries to dance technique, and rather than recommending surgery, working closely with physiotherapists and dance teachers to heal these injuries. Over the years Mr. Howse also served as Orthopaedic Consultant to Surrey County Cricket Club, Badminton Association of Great Britain, The Royal Academy of Dance, The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain, The English National Ballet Company and School, and many other ballet schools. Mr. Howse was one of the founders of IADMS, served as the first Co-President (with Dr. Allan Ryan) from 1991 to 1993, and served on the Board of Directors from 1991 to 1997. The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science is pleased to honor Mr. Justin Howse for his lifetime of service to dancers and to the dance medicine and science communities. |

Presented at the IADMS 21st Annual Meeting October 13, 2011 Washington DC, USA William G. Hamilton, MD, one of the founders of the field of dance medicine in the United States, is the orthopaedic surgeon considered by many to be the world’s authority on injuries to dancers. In 1972 George Balanchine invited Dr. Hamilton to become the orthopaedist for the New York City Ballet and its affiliated School of American Ballet, and in 1980 he was asked by Mikhail Baryshnikov, then the director of American Ballet Theatre, to be their orthopaedist as well.
Dr. Hamilton graduated from Princeton University with an engineering degree, served in the US Army, attended medical school at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital, New York. With his well-established background in engineering, his transition into medicine, and especially surgery, was fortuitous. Presently, he is the orthopaedic surgeon for New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, The School of American Ballet, and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Ballet at ABT. He consults for The Ailey School, the New York Knicks basketball team, and the New York Yankees baseball team. He has written numerous articles and chapters in textbooks regarding injuries to dancers and has lectured on this subject around the world. He holds the following appointments, all in New York City: Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, Senior Attending Orthopedic Surgeon at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, and Assistant Attending Surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He also teaches in the postgraduate fellowship program in foot and ankle surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Dr. Hamilton has served on the Board of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science. He is the Past President of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society and the New York Medical and Surgical Society. Dr. Hamilton has trained many orthopaedists across the USA who specialize in foot and ankle surgery. In addition, he readily shares his surgical expertise with other orthopaedic surgeons around the world. We are all grateful for his indefatigable interest in and generosity towards the dance medicine community. You can often find him at the theater on Friday mornings, watching New York City Ballet company class, and giving wise words of advice such as, "You can’t fool mother nature!” The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science is pleased to honor Dr. William Hamilton for his lifetime of service to dancers and to the dance medicine and science communities. |
