Best Answer

Ballet dancers have died when performing in the past, this was due to the stage lighting. Before the use of electric lighting, gas lights were used. If a flammable object caught alight, dancers could and did burn to death.

I am sure over time, props may have caused death when dropped on a dancer.

Nowadays it is pretty rare for a dancer to die whilst doing ballet. They can sustain some very debilitating injuries, spinal problems, paralysis etc, but generally boney and soft tissue injuries, are the most common.
