Will Dance Give My Daughter Body Image Issues?

from Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women · host Heather Creekmore - Christian Body Image Author and Speaker

Have you ever wondered if participating in dance could lead to body image issues? Heather talks to clients with a dance background and have body image issues from what a dance instructor said or from participating in an environment that is body-focused and competitive. Today, Heather interviews Mary Bawden, founder of DA:NCE an organization devoted to helping expose the dangers of hyper-sexualized dance, while encouraging children to pursue healthy dance alternatives. Mary talks about how to tell the difference between health dance and unhealthy dance. Mary also talks about the many dangers of allowing young girls and teens to participate in styles of dance that are too "adult" in their nature. The list of side effects or risks from allowing your daughter to participate in this style of dance--which is common now, everywhere--are astonishing. Listen to this interview so you can make an informed decision about the types of dance your daughter will participate in.
