Customer comments on this selection.
 For adults, with CAUTION
Written during the Balanchine era, this book works in a way that can actually encourage an eating disorder or create more motivation for someone who already has one. This comes from someone with an eating disorder. While this book does have interesting information and even a couple pages to identity eating disorders, it's important to keep in mind the time this book was written during a different era in ballet and that the biological information is out of date. I verified that with a medical professional.
The average heights, weights, etc., were also taken from quite a while ago, as far as ballet goes. Different ideals are in place now that then. To strive to be the ideal dancer in this book would be to strive to being too thin by modern ballet standards, which is still pretty damned thin.
An updated edition written in a different way would be a better alternative. Otherwise, this book should only be put into the hands of healthy adults without tendency toward eating disorders.
 Diet
Gives some good info and I felt it really helped me understand about dieting and the dancers body. Full of great information.
 Great for non-dancers as well!
This book helped be understand WHAT kind of exercise I needed to do in order to lose body FAT. I'm not in the "overweight" category, so books that tell you to "just take a walk" or "take the stairs instead of the elevator" aren't the most useful (I already do those things).
I'm not a dancer but I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to go down ONE size, and doesn't need to go down 3 or 4.
Mmmh!
It is a little confuse for young adults, specially if they are not familiar with measurement :-(
Diet for Dancers
Awesome book for any type of Dancer!
