Members don't see this ad.

I have to give a persentation on the Dermatomes next week. I have to learn the "dance".

I want to do something catchy...has anyone heard or seen this before? If you have, was it set to a song or just kind of recited? I appreciate any tips!! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! And those links will more than likely be helpful as the semester progresses!

I decided to bring this up, was trying to find actual step by steps for the dermatomes dance, specifically the lumbar and sacral... The videos on youtube are priceless!!

I really contemplated being a dermatome map for Halloween.

OMG how come I've never heard of this either? I wanna learn the dance! Ha ha

@Dancer: Ooh, that's an awesome idea! That would be so fun.

Hahahaha! We are also working on dermatomes right now! Never heard about a dance though! Might have to use it!

Actually, if you just look at a picture of the dermatomes (ie - I looked at the leg) you can totally pick up on. I legit learned the hip-to-leg dermatomes in 20 seconds. Haha.
