A member asked:
Does dancing a lot give people stiff necks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Neck stiffness usually comes from a degenerative joint or disc in the neck. Sometimes it's from a muscle strain or sprain. If the dance moves involved lots of neck flexion, extension, or rotation then irritation to the neck discs, joints, or muscles could occur. If your pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician.
