Ballet is not the Cause of Eating Disorders in dancers. It can be one of the main triggers, and the common culture is unfortunately eating-disorder-promoting rather than -preventing. The important thing to remember is that Eating Disorder is a biopsychosocial illness, and that dancers can be vulnerable due to various reaons, mainly the temperament (personality traits) and the dance training environment. Knowing the facts can help you prevent the disorder from developing, meaning that dancers’ health and career can be prolonged.
