Description

Weight loss is very much at the forefront of our culture, which is unfortunately encompassed by aesthetic ideals. For at least a century, weight loss has driven the billion-dollar industry we know to be “health and wellness.” It’s understandable when a dancer comes to me with the presumed goal to lose weight; I’d be naive to think otherwise.
First, I ask that you trust me. Together, we can work to equip you with a lifestyle that’s both sustainable and enjoyable. Your goal, as of now, should not be a number on the scale. Rather, it should be a feeling: a feeling of strength, long-lasting energy, and confidence in both your body and in your food choices.

A note from Rachel: The importance of dance nutrition goes beyond our plate. This is why I created www.DanceNutrition.com and The Healthy Dancer® communities. Dancers, dance educators, and dance parents can utilize these resources to access information and guides about fueling for performance!

Rachel Fine, the nutritionist for dancers, unravels the myths and clarifies the data using an evidence-based approach. Enjoy Rachel's bits-and-bites as she provides easily digestible (pun intended!) advice for a sustainable dance career. Dance nutrition involves nutrient-dense food choices, meal plans, and balanced recipes. Dance nutrition also plays a role in a dancer’s emotional and mental well-being. With an endless supply of nutrition information, it’s difficult to decipher between healthy habits and unsustainable disordered eating behaviors.
