From calculating individual calorie requirements, reducing body fat, performance preparation, nutrition for a young dancer, recovery from injury, recipes and stock cupboard ideas, this book provides invaluable snippets of advice to dancers..

The author trained as a professional dancer, and is thus fully aware of the extraordinary demands placed on students and professional dancers. Nutrition for the Dancer is a complete guide to nutrition
