Nutrition affects body composition and body mass, which is related to sports performance. The aim of this research was to examine the eating habits of dancers in the Republic of Croatia and the relationship with the level of nutrition measured through the body mass index. 34 subjects with an average age of 35 participated in the research. The average length of dancing is 25 years. Through an online questionnaire, information was obtained about the subjects' eating habits, as well as basic information about gender, age, length of dance practice, training intensity, body mass and height, from which the body mass index was calculated. The results show that the majority of respondents are in the range of normal body mass, and there is no occurrence of mass malnutrition, as is common in aesthetic sports. The diet is mostly varied, without avoiding any group of nutrients. The differences found among the BMI values of the subjects distributed according to the consumption of certain foods speak about the possible influence of certain types of food on the energy balance in the body, and on the possibility of regulating body weight through changes in diet. Considering all the results, it can be concluded that the respondents mostly know the main principles of a healthy diet and that the respondents are careful to eat healthy, so that they can withstand all the challenges and demands that are put before them by practicing an aesthetic sport such as dance.
