Helping Your Child Navigate Body Changes and Puberty in Dance

Is your child struggling with their changing body while in the dance studio?

About This Episode

In this episode of THE JUSTIN & INEKE PODCAST, tackle the “taboo” topics that every dance parent needs to know. From the myth of the “perfect” dancer’s body to the physical and emotional shifts of puberty, we draw from years of studio teaching to help you support your young dancer.

In this episode, we discuss:* The history of dance body aesthetics and why it’s changing.* How to handle puberty and growth spurts without losing motivation.* The real reasons dancers drop out and how parents can help.* Identifying and preventing eating disorders in a high-performance environment.
