Your Body.
Your Dance.
Building body appreciation and resilience in dancers
An evidence-based, peer-led programme that helps change dance culture and the unrealistic body ideals, adapted from The Body Project for the studio, the mirror and the stage.
A conversation, not a lecture
Built on cognitive dissonance
Through guided discussion and activities, dancers voluntarily speak and act against the "ideal" body, which will have less influence over time.
Adapted for dancers
Reworked around the realities dancers live with daily: mirrors, costume, casting, aesthetic feedback and the pressure to look a certain way.
Peer-led & small group
Delivered by trained facilitators in small, supportive groups across a short series of sessions. They are safe, warm and led by the dancers themselves.
Anywhere dancers train
If your dancers are growing up surrounded by mirrors and high expectations, the programme is for them. We work with groups aged 18 and up.
Built on two decades of research
Our adaptation is rooted in The Body Project, one of the most thoroughly evaluated eating-disorder prevention programmes to date, and seeks to increase body appreciation and resilience.
