Several factors may be associated with intense pain and musculoskeletal injuries in classical ballet practitioners.  Materials and methods: a case study was carried out, in which the data of three classical ballet dancers aged 15 to 17 years old were evaluated in a classical ballet studio selected and located in the interior of Goias. Two instruments were used to collect data, The Classical Dancer Evaluation Questionnaire, formulated by the researcher herself and the physical evaluation, where data were collected from a file prepared by the researchers. Results: the volunteers referred pain mainly to the large movement, with increased abduction hip range of motion and weakness in the lateral hip rotators. Conclusion: this study revealed a higher incidence of pain episodes in classical dancers caused by imbalance of muscle strength in the lower limbs.
