This article is written by Jon Arelus, Milagrosa Sanchez-Martin, and Carmen Del Rio, researchers with a Spanish Sports Psychology Magazine. This article discusses the idea of perfectionism in dancers, and how they always strive to be the best and look the best, and have "an internal motivation to set and strive for achieving high goals". This often leads to eating disorders in dancers. The article states how body dissatisfaction and perfectionism leads to anxiety and depression, which causes a change in dieting.

A study was done on Spanish dancers assessing them on mood, anxiety, body dissatisfaction, etc, and it was found that there is a direct correlation between dieting and mood disorders. It is also stated that dancers have a "three times higher risk of suffering from eating disorders".

This article agrees with my other sources in stating that there is a direct correlation between dance and eating disorders. This source is the first one to bring up the idea of perfectionism, though others have suggested theories like it. These authors feel the correlation is very strong. This source has a good diagram for the relationship of dieting, depression, anxiety, etc.
