The purpose of this study was to examine how the environment of dance impacts college aged dancers' view of body image. Previous research has looked at dance as a whole (Oliver., 2018), but this study aimed to determine if the environment truly had an impactful role. The environmental factors examined were aesthetics, peers, and mirrors. Seven participants were recruited from the Arizona State University dance program and were asked to fill out a questionnaire relating to these factors. Due to various limitations, most notably sample size, the study was deemed inconclusive and unreliable. This study did not find any definitive resolutions on the environment's influence on dancers' body image perceptions.
