Mental health for dancers is finally beginning to get the recognition it so desperately requires, with many professional dance companies now having a ‘team around the dancer’ multidisciplinary health care team, however early intervention for those aspiring dancers is key. Performance Psychology for Dancers will promote the self-regulation and wellbeing that dancers need from early on in their training, to carry them throughout their dance career.
