Listen for free

  • Summary

  • The TuTu Thin Podcast will explore the complex relationship between dancers, athletes, their body and eating disorders, explaining how eating disorders can too easily develop in this driven, perfectionistic yet vulnerable population. TuTu Thin also explores the relationship between the dancer/athlete and the drive for perfection. How can the dancer/athlete develop healthy eating patterns in a world where there is expectation to have a strong, yet thin body. How can the dance teacher, choreographers, coaches and parents identify who may be struggling with an eating disorder? Coaches and dance teachers can promote healthy body image, but what is their responsibility if a dancer/athlete is exhibiting signs of having an eating disorder? Both prevention and treatment of eating disorders for the dancer/athlete are examined as well as how to return them back to their passion for dance or their sport. There will also be interviews with dancers, athletes, and those who work with them to promote wellness in mind, body and spirit.

    From Dancer with Cirque de Soleil to Eating Disorder Coach with Marcia Moreno Littman
    Sep 27 2024
    Marcia Moreno Littman started dancing at the age of four and was instantly in love! Excelling in tap, hip hop, ballet, and contemporary, she became a professional dancer at age 15 and won the title of Miss Dance International for the United States in 2000. Marcia has danced in many shows including “The Fashionistas”, Cirque Du Soleil’s “Zumanity”, the role of the Dreamer in “Le Reve”, Twyla Tharp’s “Come Fly Away” Broadway Tour, American Idol, and Dancing with the Stars. After many years of struggling with an eating disorder even at the height of her career, she began embarking on her journey of recovery at the age of 29 to save her life. At 41 today, and after being recovered for 11 years from ED, she takes great pleasure in coaching others through their recovery journeys. She completed Carolyn Costin’s coaching program to become a certified CCI eating disorder coach with great pride in 2023. For Marcia, being a coach and guiding others towards recovery is a true calling of the heart.
