I received a link to an online article that grabbed my attention as it discusses eating disorders in ballet companies and the perils of discussing it openly.

Nutrition and disordered eating in dance – some thoughts from the conference
This one day symposium organised as part of the Healthier Dancer programme, by Dance UK was held at the Royal Society of Medicine at 1 Wimpole Street, London. A great venue and auditorium for this type of event. And it was really good to see so many from the dance world interested in this vitally important topic. Lots of useful information was given by the eminent presenters looking at the topic from a variety of perspectives.
