The traditional requirement for dancers to be lean coupled with the fact that dance is a nonendurance form of exercise makes it necessary for dancers, particularly females, to follow diets of relatively low caloric content. Food faddism and irrational use of nutritional supplements are common among dancers, who have little information about nutrition. Further investigation of the general medical and nutritional problems of dancers is needed, and the information from these studies should be incorporated into the curriculum of serious dancers.
传统观念要求舞者保持苗条，再加上舞蹈属于非耐力型运动，这使得舞者，尤其是女性，有必要遵循低热量饮食。食物时尚主义和不合理地使用营养补充剂在舞者中很常见，而他们对营养方面了解甚少。需要进一步调查舞者的一般医疗和营养问题，并且这些研究得出的信息应纳入专业舞者的课程中。
