Ballerina Lashes Out At Lack of Body Positivity in the Dance World

One ballerina is working to change the rigid ideal of a “dancer’s body.” Colleen Werner, a professional ballerina in New York City, just posted a rallying cry for anyone whose body has made them feel out of place in the industry. Posing by the water in her leotard and pointe shoes, Werner shared a lengthy story on Instagram about the body issues she’s encountered in her years as a dancer. “The dance world is FAR from body positive, and I want to help change that,” she wrote.
