Project RED-D

Up to 60% of dancers can be affected by RED-D (Relative Energy Deficiency in Dance) which is the dancer specific expression of the more commonly known REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). This occurs when energy intake doesn’t meet the physical and psychological demands of dance training, performance and daily life. This is an incredible resource for our dance community.

A studio that works well for one dancer may not be the right fit for another, and it is always wise to do your own research first, and choose the best option for your family.
