Description
In order to develop resilient, successful performers we expose children to a persistent culture of abuse in pre-professional ballet training. Young ballet dancers appear to exhibit vulnerabilities to abuse. Many former pre-professional training dancers exhibit significant mental health issues related to their experiences in dance training. Erin Sanchez (The University of Edinburgh) asks parents: is the possibility of being a great dancer worth the risk? And is the real dangerous idea that dancers could someday be strong, safe and healthy, enough to reject this broken culture?Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
