This was super helpful .. I’m so sorry that you had to stop dancing - I really hope one day you can get back into it just for the love of it 💛 no matter what that looks like … Thanks for validating the things I’m currently feeling 🌻
I’ve never had an eating disorder but I’ve had low self esteem and some disordered eating habits because of dance teachers telling me when I was growing up that I was too fat (at a size 4 jeans mind you) and it really fucks toy up and sticks with you your whole life
I just came back to dance from taking a break from dance I totally agree I do classical ballet and modern ballet and I feel naked with being in a leo and tights and I also stuggle with an eating disorder I never knew how much dance could cause stress and injurys if I dont take care of my body
I was (am?) a dancer for my entire life- I went to a very strict dance program in college. we were actually weighed as part of our grade. The industry feeds this disordered behavior, unfortunately.

Make sure you don't push yourself too far. If you feel like you need a break, then take one.

I had to leave dance because of other girls commenting on me and I was (and still am) definitely a perfectionist.
