This project was designed to evaluate a nutrition educational tool designated to educate high school dancers about the importance of nutrition through collecting feedback from dancers during focus group discussions. The nutrition educational tool was created to be easy to read and understand, while still informing on important topics such as water intake, sleep, food groups, diets, and meal prepping. After giving a presentation of the tool to a group of high school dancers, eleven students from a high school dance team completed a survey answering questions about the tool and then participated in a group discussion that asked guided questions about their perceptions of the material presented and their suggestions for edits. Results showed that overall, the participants found this tool useful, but suggested improvements include missing information on the sleep requirement section, more suggestions for dietary restrictions, and additional details about foods and meal prepping. Overall, students found this tool useful for themselves, but results were mixed about if they would use this information in the future or share it with others. Nutrition is an important topic for high school athletes, especially dancers, and should be taught in order to keep dancers healthy.
