'How and why are there pressures put on the way dancers should look?'
Instead of focusing on just dancers I have also been researching in to other athletes such as runners and how they cope with pressures put on them with regards to how they should look.
I believe that expanding my inquiry like this has created more questions for me, I have seen certain similarities between dancers and other athletes with regards to pressure put on them.
An article I have read on 'Peak Performance' about professional athletes such as runners has stated that 'In western society,
there is a powerful underlying belief that thinness leads to success, power,
beauty and happiness'.
This statement suggests that there is a certain sense of unspoken competitiveness within not only dancers but other athletes too. With so many web 2.0 platforms now, so many people are comparing themselves to what they see online. I have found this connection between dancers and other athletes very interesting and will be researching in to this further as my inquiry goes on.
I hope this helps anyone in Module three, branching out a bit may help to expand and develop your inquiry as it has done with mine.

Hi Millie, this sounds like a really interesting line of inquiry. How are you carrying out your research into this?
