What does YAGP believe about the relationship between health and artistic success?

We believe that a sustainable dance career requires a healthy body and a healthy relationship with food, training and one’s own body.

A young dancer should not have to choose between health and artistic ambition.

The objective should be to help dancers develop the physical and artistic capacity to dance at a high level without compromising their long-term wellbeing.
