Answers:
Shouldn't cause you any problems. Check with your doctor to be sure. Be careful with some of the dips and more dramatic moves until you know what your body can do/tolerate. My docs let me do pretty much anything I want as long as I don't over due it and listen to my body. I've done recreational belly dance and yoga, my fusion prevents some positions, but not many.
I've also been an OR nurse for 16 years, one of the most physically demanding areas of nursing (lots of lifting and lots of standing in one place for long periods). I've had 2 children without difficulty (didn't even use an epidural). I love to travel (I don't set off metal detectors), and SCUBA dive. I can pretty much do anything I want...but don't tell my husband I use the scoliosis to get out of vacuuming :)Health Question & Answer

Yes, you can dance with scoliosis. Dance will not cause your curve to get worse. There may be some moves that you can't do because you get pinched, your back starts aching, or you don't have the flexability. If so, you should either modify the dance that you're doing or perhaps skip that move.

I would think it would help. One of the best things for scoliosis is exercise. HOwever, depending on the degree of curvature, it could affect your balance, so be careful. Health Question & Answer
