How can someone with newly broken rib dance?

Rib fx: It will be difficult to dance with a fractured rib. I would suggest waiting till the pain resolves.

Slow dance: Depends on how you dance. Certainly no lifts and no strenuous or sudden movements.

Rib fractures : With pain control. I would recommend 6-8 weeks of rest. Allow the bones to heal. At the same time remain as active as tolerated.
