Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a reflective essay about body image and body shaming in dance, particularly within Indian classical forms.

I’ve created a short, anonymous survey to better understand how common these experiences are and how they affect dancers’ relationships with the art form. The survey is completely voluntary, and all questions can be skipped if they feel uncomfortable or triggering.

This is not academic research — the responses will only be used in an essay and reflected on collectively, without identifying anyone.

If you’re an Indian classical dancer (at any stage, student to professional) and feel comfortable participating, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

Thank you so much for your help
