    Anshel, Mark H. "Sources Of Disordered Eating Patterns Between Ballet Dancers And Non-Dancers." Journal Of Sport Behavior 2 (2004): 115. Academic OneFile. Web. 16 Sept. 2014. This article compares the characteristics of eating disorders among dancers and non-dancers. Ultimately it proves that non-dancers don't have the same kind of outside pressure that dancers have. This will be helpful because it'll highlight the influence of ballet culture on young adolescents' perceptions of their bodies.

It was written to inform people that the environment in which one is placed (i.e. the ballet world) is what alters one's mind in the sense that they need to fit the mold of the particular culture's standards.
