Project RED‑D
Fuelling health, strength and longevity in dance
Our mission
Project RED-D not only recognises the physical consequences of low energy availability, such as fatigue, increased injury risk, and impaired bone health, but also highlights the mental health impacts, including disordered eating, anxiety, and stress.
The project is tailored to address the nuanced demands of dance, providing specific tools for identifying and managing energy deficiencies in this unique population.
