Summary: The purpose of this research was to investigate the experiences of harm in the dance environment among competitive dancers, focusing on their social identities. Limited attention has been given to instances of harm in competitive dance, and the influence of social identities on these experiences has yet to be discussed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 competitive dancers, and thematic analysis revealed four themes: the higher value of boy dancers, Whiteness as the standard, the impact of socioeconomic status, and the sexualization of young girls and women. Competitive dancers reported that their social identities influenced their dance experience, affecting their opportunities to be showcased in choreography and their relationship with instructors.
