Dancer Nutrition Workshop- Level 1

Your Healthy Dancer exists to empower dancers to fuel smarter, perform stronger, and dance longer—now and for a lifetime. 

We bridge clinical science with performance artistry, delivering evidence-based nutrition, fitness, and wellness education tailored for longevity.

 

Workshop Overview

An interactive, positive, and high-energy experience designed to teach dancers the foundational science of performance fueling. Through hands-on learning, dancers discover how to nourish their bodies for strength, energy, and athletic longevity.

For Dancers Ages 12 and Up

An advanced beginner track focused on empowering older dancers to take autonomy over their daily fueling, energy demands, and long-term health.

Dancers will experience interactive, evidence-based sports nutrition education covering:

  • Macronutrient Mastery: Learning to identify and understand the vital roles that Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins play in a dancer's endurance and muscle recovery.

  • Hands-On Fueling: Building a balanced day of eating using interactive food models to visualize optimal plate distributions.

  •  Mindful & Intentional Eating: Exploring mindful eating concepts to cultivate a positive, sustainable relationship with food.

  • Energy Needs & Planning: Understanding the unique metabolic and energy demands of dance training, and learning how to plan a personalized day of eating.

  • Clinical Health & Awareness: A vital introduction to recognizing and preventing disordered eating, alongside understanding Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) to protect long-term hormonal and bone health.

For Dancers Ages 7 to 11

A foundational, age-appropriate track designed to introduce younger dancers to the joy of fueling their movement through fun, tangible concepts.

Dancers will experience positive, interactive nutrition education covering:

  • Core Fuel Sources: An introduction to identifying basic food groups: Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins.

  • The "Why" Behind Food: Discovering the fun roles macronutrients play in giving them the energy to jump, turn, and stay strong.

  • Building a Balanced Snack: Using hands-on food models to learn how to mix and match ingredients for the perfect pre- or post-class snack boost.

Words from Our Dancers


Here is what dancers shared one year after completing our Wellness Workshop at the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) Ballet Conservatory:

“I learned I need to eat more for breakfast.”
— Maddie 7th Grader

“I learned I need to eat a lot more food, especially protein.”
— Henry 8th Grader

“Thank you so much for everything Ms. Genevieve. Thank you so much for the nutrition part of your workshop, it impacted so many of us, especially me!!”— —L.M. 10th Grader

“Prior to the workshop I mainly relied on protein to give me energy and after changing those thoughts I had much more strength and energy while dancing! Also, I am less sore! So cool! Learning how important fats and carbs were to a dancer was very helpful!”

— Sierra, 7th Grade
