Does anybody have any experience with hip bursitis after intense latin practice ?
Any comments on where best to go for treatment and how to recover and/or prevent it ?

Thanks
Roland

I meant to say more in my reply.
Assuming you're a youngish person (under 40, say)you should get your dance teacher to look at your technique. You're probably doing something wrong to cause the bursitis.
Make sure you stretch and warm up before getting into your rigorous training - this is so often ignored by dancers, yet damage can be done if your body is not loosened up and warmed up.
When the problem has been cured, remember to treat your hip with respect and stretch the appropriate muscles. You physiotherapist will give you all the advice you need.
My experience with GP's is that they're not very knowledgeable on sports injuries and will probably just suggest rest. Maybe where you live they're better

Thanks for the replys and suggestions. In the mean time we have been able to address the issue very well. We discovered a earlly good doctor:
Dr. Rose (New York) who specialises in Dance injuries and prevention. He is director of the Harkness center for Dance Injuries and knows what dancers want/need and how to address things
effectively. Although it is a longer term recovery process we are well underway.

I do apologize if this answer comes too late. Since I work in a hospital, I asked a orthopedic technician about hip bursitis. In a very general sense, he commented that hip bursitis is usually the result of not enough exercise (someone who sits on the couch in front of the TV too much).:(

I would definitely get second and third medical opinions on this one.

My experience with sports injuries (including various bursitis problems - though not in my hip)suggests that you're training too intensively. You must ease back and let the inflammation subside. Bursa problems can take 3 - 6 months to clear up. They don't usually stop you training but they're painful.
You should go to a good sports physiotherapist (one who works with a local sports team) who can deal with the specifics of your problem and make suggestions. If it's not gone in 2 weeks, DON'T ignore it
