The dance world can be an intense place full of judgment and
high physical and mental demands on youth. The pressures to have “the dancers
body” or to be a “beautiful ballerina” are all over the place and can be quite
hard for some young dancers to deal with… and rightly so.
So what can be done to promote positive feelings and
positive dancers?
Pegasus has long been on a mission to promote the healthy
dancer. The healthy dancer respects and takes care of their body. We encourage
our students to connect to their own body and to embrace the differences that
make us all unique. Each of us can bring a different quality to our dancing
because of these unique attributes and it is our goal at Pegasus to make sure students
learn to cherish themselves for whom they are.
We should all feel free to be ourselves whether we are in
the dance studio, in the dance school or out in the world!
