Ballet’s Hidden Pain

Ballet's Hidden Pain reveals the demanding reality behind the art form's graceful facade. It delves into the physical and psychological tolls dancers endure, challenging the romanticized image of ballet. Dancers often begin rigorous training at a young age, pushing their bodies to extreme limits. This pursuit of perfection can lead to a host of injuries, from stress fractures to joint problems, and contribute to mental health challenges like body image issues and performance anxiety. The book explores these issues through scientific research, interviews, and statistical data, connecting exercise science, sports medicine, and psychology to understand the dancer's experience. Chapters progress from introducing ballet training principles, to analyzing common injuries, and finally proposing strategies for injury prevention and mental health support. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the sacrifices made in ballet.
