While female dancers\u2019 beliefs around LBP and dance-specific low back movements exist, no research has explored male dancers\u2019 beliefs. This study aimed to (1) examine the low back beliefs of Australian male professional and pre-professional dancers, and (2) determine if beliefs toward common low back movements and lifting differed when current LBP or history of disabling LBP (DLBP) were considered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>40 male dancers (mean age [SD] 26.9\u2009years [7.9]) from a range of dance backgrounds (all participating in ballet) were recruited to complete a cross-sectional survey comprising a beliefs questionnaire considering dance-specific movement and lifting tasks, the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ) and the Athletic Fear Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ). Primary analysis included initial descriptives, a repeated measures ANOVA for movement-specific beliefs and visual thematic analysis for written responses within the belief\u2019s questionnaire. Secondary subgroup analysis included independent T-tests for those with\/without current LBP and those with\/without a history of DLBP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fourteen dancers reported current LBP and 30 reported a history of DLBP. Dancers held generally negative beliefs toward the low back (Back-PAQ mean 123.1\u2009\u00b1\u20099.7) with neither subgroup demonstrating significant between-group difference ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Dance-specific flexion movements were seen as safer than extension movements ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05), and more extended-spine lifting was seen as safer than more flexed-spine lifting ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Dancers experiencing current LBP held less positive beliefs surrounding some dance-specific movements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dancers hold negative general beliefs toward the low back irrespective of current or historical DLBP, however their beliefs surrounding dance-specific movements were relatively positive.
