Maura The Dance Dietitian Nutrition for the Barre and Beyond 🧑🏻‍🩰
The Nutrition Program Built Just for Dancers 🩰
For dancers ages 12+ ✨

My name is Maura and I am a certified registered dietitian nutritionist, a Florida licensed dietitian, and certified in public health. I obtained two bachelor's degrees in human nutrition and dietetics at Kansas State University, as well as completing my master’s of public health in dietetics at the University of South Florida. I am dedicated to helping your child build a healthier relationship wi

th food. As a former ballet dancer, I understand the pressure young athletes face - from body image struggles to balancing performance and nutrition. My own challenges with food and weight management inspired me to pursue a career in dietetics so I could help others find balance and confidence in their eating habits. Today, I specialize in pediatric dance and sports nutrition. Whether you are looking to support your teen’s performance goals, improve a picky eater, or learn how to help your child reach growth goals, I’m here to provide guidance that’s realistic, evidence-based, supportive, and tailored to you or your child’s unique needs.

Which items are you buying?

These items are sometimes forgotten about, but can be super essential and helpful when trying to ensure your organized and fueled properly for Dance.

This is something that Beyond the Barre nutrition will touch base on and phase 3 of my program. I want to make the decisions about food easier for dancers so they can have more time to focus on improving their technique in classes and rehearsals.

Day 14. 🩰

Posting this one a day late because I danced at night—and whew, it was HOT and humid. 🥵 It definitely pushed my limits and wasn’t my best day, but consistency means showing up even when things aren’t perfect.

Today’s check-in ✅

☑️ Switched from barre to more center work.
☑️ Realized my core + abdominal strength still needs work for better balance and turns.
☑️ Noticed I may be winding up too much before my turns, so I’m working on controlling my momentum and using the right amount of force—especially for single turns.
☑️ Most importantly: I showed up.

Not every day is going to feel amazing, but every day gives me something to work on. I’m excited to keep building strength, control, and confidence. 🤍

Follow along as I continue my 30-day journey back to ballet! 🩰

Dancer, I want you to have your best year yet!

Imagine being able to take three months out of your year to focus on the right nutrition so you can build a better base for your dance career.

You may feel that everything is fine right now, but trust me when I say this is what you need to ensure you dance for years.

Dance parents: don’t break her trying to make her better. 🤍

I know you want your dancer to succeed.

You want her to work hard, improve her technique, perform her best, and reach her goals.

But sometimes, the pressure to do more can come at the expense of something much more important: her health.

Overtraining, inadequate fueling, constant comments about her body, or ignoring concerns about food and body image can shape the way she sees herself for years to come.

Your dancer doesn’t just need to become a stronger dancer.

She needs to become a strong, healthy human who can keep dancing for years to come.

That starts with proper nutrition, recovery, and creating a healthy relationship with food and her body. 🩰

That’s why I created Beyond the Barre Nutrition — a 3-month program that includes 1:1 individualized coaching + dance-specific nutrition education to help your dancer learn how to properly fuel for training, growth, recovery, performances, and everything in between.

This isn’t about putting your dancer on a diet.

It’s about giving her the tools to fuel, perform, recover, and thrive.

✨ Launching in 5 days.

I went from a to z to fill in a gap that was missing. 🩰❤️‍🩹

My story starts with falling in love with the art form, then feeling the pressure of trying to be perfect to land a roll. My relationship with food led to many different types of struggles that I wouldn’t have guessed when I was younger, but now I see today.

My goal as a dietitian is to create a new cycle of fueling properly and building confidence in dancers. Are you with me?

My new program launches in six days… whether you’re dancer who needs to learn how to fuel properly or a dancer with years of experience who wants to fix their relationship with food, this program is to empower dancers to be strong, to grow adequately, and to feel more confident in themselves

I’m sorry what…👀

We should not be coming up with excuses for not eating, especiallly when your spending HOURS in class. It’s been shown that compared to some other athletes… dancers are training way longer, so food is necessary.

So if someone tries to convince you not to have your snack… don’t listen to them.
