Objective of the study was to assessing the impact of ankle stability training on the balancing abilities of female dancers in sport dancing.
Methods and structure of the study. The 10-week experiment involved 42 female sport dance dancers aged 16-18 years from the «Yiya» Club in Anyang (China). The participants were divided into 3 groups with different forms of training: experimental group 1 – normal physical training, experimental group 2 – ankle muscle strength training and experimental group 3 – ankle muscle strength training + ankle proprioception.
Results and conclusions. Higher rates of static, dynamic balance and technical skills were obtained in the third experimental group through the use of a training method aimed at achieving ankle stability (ankle strength training + proprioceptive training).
Ankle stability training can be integrated into the sports training program for dancers aged 16-18 years, which will help improve the physical stability of athletes. Trainers are advised to use proprioceptive training with increasing intensity to ensure that the training effect is more significant.

Keywords: sports dance, women dancers; ankle stability training, body stability, balance.
