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.
