Fantastic presentation from @WeAreMinding 👏🏻 #IADMS2022

So honored to be part of this fantastic team & proud of the amazing work done by @WeAreMinding and @PointParkU to address the mental health of dancers and trigger culture change! A great and exemplary collaborative journey! #iadms22 @IADMS @KatieInTheGap @BritneyBrinkman

A case for support ⤵️ “#Dance students showed poorer mental health when compared with normative date for the same age group, showing low #self_esteem (44%), high anxiety levels (48.4%) social physique anxiety (55%), and low #resilience (21.8%) @WeAreMinding #IADMS2022 3/🧵

@DancePsychSanna @balletabuse @barkerruchti @AusdancersO @DSSSUK @safeindance Certainly seems like some progress. I will be in New York and meeting with a few of their dancers in November, interested to see what they think!

I can't access the full article, but it sounds like progress... does anyone know more? @balletabuse @WeAreMinding @barkerruchti @AusdancersO @DSSSUK @safeindance

“How do I know that I need help?” One of the most common questions we are asked by dancers. @DrMarinaHarris has answers on our blog. wearemindingthegap.org/post/dont-suff…

@sio_burke It was spot on

I'm not sure who needs to hear this today but you know those old jeans you have in your closet, the ones you desperately want to fit into, the ones you've been saving from when you were either literally or practically a teenager? Throw em out.

@sio_burke You are so right. I have been really battling with finding the right words. Also the implication that other greats would not survive in the current environment. The implication being that we should not expect to be safe from abuse and inappropriate behaviors in service to genius

And this...

THIS!

@ChloeAngyal This this this!!!!!

If someone tries to make you feel bad about going through a mental health challenge, they don't deserve your time and energy.

Looking after our mental health has never been more essential. dancemagazine.com/self-care-duri…

We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Liam Scarlett's death Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this very sad time.

My latest for dance teacher on a topic that could not be more important. What is “tough love?” Does it work? How can you do it right? Spoiler alert - the key is respect. google.com/amp/s/dance-te…
