TuTu Thin: A Podcast for Dancers | Be a healthy dancer/athlete in mind, body and spirit.

By: Dawn Smith-Theodore MA MFT CEDS
  • Summary

  • The TuTu Thin Podcast will explore the complex relationship between dancers, athletes, their body and eating disorders, explaining how eating disorders can too easily develop in this driven, perfectionistic yet vulnerable population. TuTu Thin also explores the relationship between the dancer/athlete and the drive for perfection. How can the dancer/athlete develop healthy eating patterns in a world where there is expectation to have a strong, yet thin body. How can the dance teacher, choreographers, coaches and parents identify who may be struggling with an eating disorder? Coaches and dance teachers can promote healthy body image, but what is their responsibility if a dancer/athlete is exhibiting signs of having an eating disorder? Both prevention and treatment of eating disorders for the dancer/athlete are examined as well as how to return them back to their passion for dance or their sport. There will also be interviews with dancers, athletes, and those who work with them to promote wellness in mind, body and spirit.

  • The Olympics.... How to be a Healthy Dancer and Athlete in Mind, Body and Spirit
    Aug 16 2024

    As the Olympics comes to an end and we begin to look toward 2028 in Los Angeles, my town…… I want to express my gratitude to all the athletes who have worked so hard to achieve their dreams. It takes years of dedication and hard work to be able to make it to the Olympics and athletes and dancers cannot do it alone. It takes support from coaches, loved ones as well as the drive from within the athlete. Congratulations to all the athletes who competed in the Olympics….. what an accomplishment. Let's explore the Mind, Body, and Spirit of the Dancer and Athlete
