NIDMS (National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science).
NIDMS works to provide the dance sector with access to affordable dance specific health care and dance science support services.  Information and resource are spread through workshops, publications and conferences.

"NIDMS was founded in 2012 by One Dance UK, Birmingham Royal Ballet's Jerwood Centre for the Treatment and Prevention of Dance Injuries, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, University of Birmingham and University of Wolverhampton.  This was born out of a need for greater provision of dance medicine and science services for performers, identified through research carried out by Dance UK since 1990".

Nutrition is extremely important for dancers because if they do not get the right nutrients they will not be able to perform to the best of their ability.
"To perform at their best, dancers need to be adequately fueled for the activities in which they participate regularly..." (IADMS, 2016) A balance of nutrients from the right foods will provide enough energy for dancers to meet the physical demands of either classes or jobs in the industry.

The Female Athlete Triad is a medical condition seen in females who are physically active. The combination of not having correct nutrition, overworking the body and lack of energy leads to an irregular menstrual cycle and can then lead to osteoporosis (brittle bone disease). In some cases, dancers are not even aware that they have the female athlete triad and will continue to eat their usual diet despite not gaining the right nutrition.
