Dance Nutrition Essentials

Did you Know?

One of the top 5 factors that prevent injuries in dancers is NUTRITION.

Yet dancers are struggling to fuel...

• 1 in 2 dancers are in a state of low energy availability. That means they are not adapting to training; not performing at their best; and more prone to career-threatening injuries.

• 3 in 4 dancers are feeling the pressure to lose weight.

• 1 in 3 teenage dancers are engaged in disordered eating behaviours.

• 1 in 6 dancers experience eating disorders, which is an illness that has the highest mortality rate of all mental health disorders. Sadly, many dancers cease their dream and career because of this.

All of this can change.

We can each take a role in creating a safer and more productive space for dancers to truly nourish their mind and body to reach their optimum performance capacity.

That’s why we have created this Dance Nutrition Essentials course - to help dancers, their teachers, families, and healthcare professionals, to feel more confident, equipped, and skilled, in supporting the health and wellbeing of dancers.
