DIW knows that it takes more than training and education to set a student up for success. As part of its equity commitment, DIW offers students robust access to support systems designed to help them thrive mentally and physically.​

Positive Pathways fosters the development of positive pathways in the minds of young dancers. Students meet with a licensed professional counselor and attend workshops and activities that improve mental health. ​

Full Out focuses on body conditioning and education. Pre-professional training at a high level requires a dancer to learn how to recover. DIW provides recurring workshops with a physical therapist to teach students how to keep their bodies safe and prevent injury.​

Energy Barre is a nutrition education and healthy meals program that nourishes young dancers and encourages them to eat a balanced diet. Students learn cooking tips from a local chef and nutritionist.​
