Movement, freedom, rhythm, accuracy, show. Dancing for spectators is delight and relaxation. But do we know how much work is behind a dance performance? Rehearsal hours, hard work, stress and effort to make every move impeccable are not included in the invitation to the show. Studies in recent years show that perfectionism in dancers is extremely dangerous for their mental health, as we learned from this article by Crystal Nicholls – professional dancer.

This is especially true for young dancers. Here\’s how perfectionism impacts other aspects of their lives:

A study by California State University shows the dark side of perfectionism in professional dancers. Unrealistic goals and perceptions of failure can lead to anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder or depression. That is why it is important to talk about the problems that haunt dancers and not just about the beauty of dance. Performance is achieved with discipline and a lot of work, but these should not be confused with the neurotic perfectionism that tends to dominate the world of professional dance.
