Even in a largely taciturn art form, language is everywhere and it influences how we see and experience the world. In this episode, Monika Saigal, MS, RD, CEDRD-S, CDN, enlightens us on how the words we choose can influence eating behaviors and mindsets. She explains how some conversations that may seem commonplace in a dance setting, are in fact problematic and she offers suggestions for how to create climates that support a positive body image.
