The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science's paper on fitness training for dancers states*:
Dance calls upon all aspects of physical fitness. Good physical fitness is key to reducing the risk of injury, enhancing performance, and ensuring longer dancing careers.
A physically fit dancer is one who has the ability to meet the demands of a specific physical task at an optimal level. The goal of improving dancers’ physical fitness is to minimize the difference between the dancer’s individual maximal abilities and their performance requirements.
It is important that dancers encorporate fitness training into their schedule to help better prepare them physiologically for the demands of current choreographic work.
Unless dancers are physiologically prepared to the same extent as they are artistically, their physical conditioning may potentially be a limiting factor in their development."
