Welcome back to Part 2 of our Dance & Higher Education podcast episodes!


This week we discuss the exciting prospect of clubbing coming back to the UK, and our own excitement around this!

Our conversation is honest, raw and eye opening. 


We have another scandalous backstage confession from one of our listeners, we had such a giggle reading this! To quote our anonymous listener ‘I have never been so MORTIFIED in my life’ - you guys are in for a treat! 

Welcome back to another episode of #backstageconfessions!

This week we will be covering the topic of body image, as well as our own experiences with body image issues and how these also affect dancers and other individuals in the sports industry. 


We answer and discuss three body image related questions as honestly and as openly as we possibly can, and talk about how we’re feeling about our own body image now that lockdown restrictions are being lifted and the summer months are hitting in the UK. 


If you feel you are struggling with any of the symptoms surrounding body image or body dysmorphia, please contact a healthcare professional. A link to the NHS psychological therapy services and the young minds charity for mental health will be linked in our show notes.
