Nutrition for Dancers

A dancer's nutrition has a direct impact on how their bodies will respond to them both in and out of the studio. This workshop will cover the basics of nutrition for dancers, including not only what needs to be eaten for optimal performance, but when to eat as well. We will also cover strategies for becoming involved in the shopping for and preparation of their food.
