Dear Colin,
My 13-year-old daughter dances and loves it, she aspires to become a professional one day. However, like many girls, she’s insecure about her weight. Could you suggest a diet and exercise plan that would be safe for a person her age?
Much thanks,
Janet
Dear Janet,
Nutrition is such an important subject that The Australian Ballet always gets the advice of a dietitian/nutritionist to help its dancers, and I suggest you do the same. By assessing the amount of dance training your daughter is currently doing and her eating habits, the dietitian will be able to guide her in her quest to become a professional dancer.
Best wishes,
Colin
