Eating disorders are relatively common in ballet, with 4% of female ballet dancers estimated to suffer from anorexia nervosa alone, compared to 2% of the general population (Arcelus, Witcomb, & Mitchell, 2014). Notably, this estimate only identifies dancers who meet the full diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa; and it does not capture the women who suffer from a range of eating disturbances, including: atypical anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, or other patterns of disordered eating. The present study explored the factors that contribute to the pervasiveness of eating disorders, as well as the dynamics among those factors to better understand why many dancers maladaptively manage stress through eating pathology. The scope of eating disorders includes: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other eating problems that are not well captured by any particular label. Using an inductive approach, a textual analysis program, Tropes, was used to analyze three autobiographies by well-known ballet dancers (Gelsey Kirkland, Jenifer Ringer, and Monica Loughman). The textual analysis revealed notable shared characteristics among the narratives. Exploring how these references were interconnected revealed three prominent themes: Experience of the Body, Identity, and Defiance and Submission. Through deductive inquiry, these themes were studied through the lens of a psychoanalytic theoretical framework. This study highlights the nuanced and intertwined factors that foster eating disorders among the ballet community. Implications for prevention and treatment are discussed. Keywords: ballet, dance, eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, Tropes, body.
