#EDAW2022 AN EATING DISORDER IS NOT A TREND OR A CHOICE. You can’t have ‘a bit’ of an ED, or switch it on and off as you like. And contrary to popular belief on (dance) social media, you cannot snap out of it within two weeks with some care and food.

Your relationship with gravity is the only thing about you that’s determined by your weight. Not your self-worth, and not the joy and happiness you deserve. Weight is a number + you cannot be defined by it. #EDAW2022

Don’t miss out 👇🏼‼️

Thank you 🤍🤍 Yes, dancers grow up (and are taught) depending too much on just one person’s (principal teacher’s) opinion 🥴 And often carry that one opinion with them through their entire career.

Dancers experiment w/ their diets by cutting out carbs/sugars, and fats. What if instead, they stopped bc these experiments have all been done + published by scientists, and used that same energy to learn that only the inclusion of all nutrients supports health + performance?!

I have met so many dancers who are intelligent, talented, and complex; yet dedicate so much of their time and energy to weight loss and shrinking themselves in any way possible. Imagine if they focused on growing their mind instead of shrinking their bodies.

Are you aware that health policies for ballet competitions could have no value as dancers manipulate their data to increase their chances of being selected? Teachers and anyone working with dancers, can you please share: ausdancersoverseas.surveysparrow.com/s/ballet-and-d…

Dance teachers, your bond with your students can often be stronger than that with their parents. Will you please stop messaging your former students that they need to stay skinny even though you’re no longer their teacher? This is harassment and bullying.

‘How is it possible that you’re getting even fatter?‘ is a sentence one of my patients (dance student in graduate year) got to hear yesterday. One of the world’s most prestigious ballet schools. Elitist. Expensive. How come state ballet schools can still live in 1922?!

Can someone please explain how a director in London in 2022 can tell their students - participating in the Gala for Ukraine tomorrow - they can’t have a day off (e.g. on Monday) despite their day off being spent dancing at the gala?? #InjuryPrevention ???

I want to thank the nutritionist who posted that beans + chickpeas have ‘loads of carbs’. My sick dancer wants to restrict even more now because their teacher told them to cut out carbs. They’re both an excellent source of plantbased protein. We don’t need more DE/EDs.

You know sth is seriously wrong about how medicine (the world) thinks about dance as a profession when the future soccer player gets their cardio check-up after COVID asap, whereas the future ballet dancer has to wait until next year 😩

Dancers, please consider that your fellow dancer you compliment on being ‘so healthy’ and ‘always getting it right’ may not be healthy at all, and that the reason why they don’t dare to eat any of the foods you think are unhealthy is that they battle an eating disorder … 🥴🥺

It is entirely misplaced and disgusting if - as a HCP - you send love to your followers and subscribers but at the same time, in the same email, remind them to book your online courses. #greedy #ride #ignorant

Anyone really surprised by the allegations of abuse at Zurich Dance Academy?? Hats off to the brave former students that spoke with journalists; this was the only way to finally make it public, after all former complaints had been dismissed.

My favorite dancers? All dancers that are nourishing themselves adequately in a world that tells them to survive on the least amount of food possible.

It's out! The ebook version of my book has now been released (hard copy in October). For students, teachers, dancers, and anyone else looking to learn more about mind and behaviour in dance. Enjoy! us.humankinetics.com/products/essen…

Meme or reality?! 🫣
