摘要：Was conducted a cross-sectional study, where the research subjects were dancers of a ballet school in Caxias do Sul, RS, with the aim of relating self-perception and anthropometric data with food intake of adolescent dancers. To assess the nutritional profile was made an interview with straightforward questions about eating habits and an assessment of body self-perception, also an anthropometric assess (weight, height, body mass index for age and stature for age). After, it was applied a 24 hour recall. It was observed that most dancers evaluated were eutrophic, while 57,1% wanted to lose weight. They worry about the weight in a percentage of 82,1%. There is a lower daily energy and some nutrients intake compared with the reference age group. The data suggest that adolescent dancers are susceptible to poor eating habits in order to get leaner bodies. Key words: Dance, Nutrition, Body image.
