We Were Told to LOSE WEIGHT at Ballet School....Here's What Happened.

Hello Everyone, Ballerina, Food, and the Power of Words 🩰🥣 In this episode, we’re unpacking a topic that so many dancers silently struggle with: food, body image, and the influence of language in ballet. Even though I adored my teachers with my whole heart, some of them came from an older generation, where the belief was that every ballerina should be one weight, and no higher. One comment, one look, one word can shift how you view yourself and your relationship with food for years to come. We’ll talk about how those comments affected us, how we coped as young dancers, and what the food culture was actually like at the Vaganova Academy. Was it strict? Was it unhealthy? Or was it surprisingly different to what you might imagine? This episode is for every dancer who’s ever questioned their worth because of a number, and for anyone who’s ready to create a healthier, more compassionate mindset around food and ballet. 🎧 Tune in to feel supported, seen, and reminded that you are so much more than your weight. ------- ✨ Welcome to Ballet With Isabella! ✨ https://balletwithisabella.com Ballet With Isabella (BWI) is your go-to online training platform for dancers of all levels!
