What is this episode about
The Royal Ballet School in London and Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham are two of the best in the United Kingdom, and both have been accused of engaging in bullying and body shaming. Panorama looks into these allegations. These prestigious boarding schools accept only the most talented young dancers who aspire to make a career out of their art.
But many adolescents report that they experience intolerable pressure from educators to maintain a thin body type as they approach and enter puberty. Reporter Mark Daly speaks with ex-students who say they’ve developed eating disorders or other mental health issues and are now advocating for a shift in the school’s “corrosive” culture.
