Abstract
A look into the mental health epidemic plaguing the ballet industry and potential solutions to create a healthier, stronger dance community. The pre–professional ballet training environment and methods can cause depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders in students due to competitive environments, authoritarian style of teachers, and the outdated pursuit of an ideal and uniform body type. The dance community has the ability to become a safer space and to help those struggling with mental health disorders
