The Royal Ballet School reached a financial settlement with a former student, who said that the body that I suffered from during her existence there left her for life for life.
Ellen Elvic, 31, accused the Elite Foundation in Covent Garden in London of violating the care duty.
She said that while she was a school student, from 2009 to 2012, she developed an eating disorder, which led to anorexia due to the body sample by many teachers.
RBS said she had accepted any responsibility for the case of the previous dancer and had not an apology. It is believed that the settlement is the first of its kind to shame the alleged body in the ballet.
A RBS spokesman said: “We are happy that both parties were able to reach an acceptable agreement in a mutual mutual in this way and we wish Eileen and her family well for the future.” They added that the school “continues to take the welfare of its students seriously.”
Elvik claimed that in her first year at school, she was forced to stand in front of the mirror while one of the teachers referred to areas on the buttocks and her leg that she would have cut if she had a knife, saying that she was disgusted by these parts.
She also said that she was fond of the buttocks and thighs without permission during her pregnancy, and her head was twisted by a male teacher when facing the wrong path in a position.
Elvik claimed that she was in her second year to drink coffee and get sick on a frequent basis, as well as smoking cigarettes in an attempt to suppress her appetite. She said that this act was approved by a teacher she claimed that she and her colleagues had smoked on a tour of the United States.
During her third year at school, Elphick claimed that she got photographs of her to send them to ballet companies for possible employment. When reviewing one photo, she said that one of the senior teacher about her buttocks stated that this was a “issue.”
She was diagnosed with unconventional loss of appetite and dysmorphia, which continues to try. She said that abuse means that she was not able to practice a profession in the world of dance.
“When I was reflected in the training that I went through at the Royal Ballet School, and the eating disorder I developed, I felt that there was different ways of teaching in the years that I was there,” Elvic said.
“I had children who came to me with issues, and I began to realize that there was a big problem for people in my general who have been exposed to me.

“I decided to make a legal claim, I do the public because I want to get awareness so that children can go to dance and not leave it as I am.”
Elvic was among more than 50 dancers previously BBC said There was a long -term “poisonous” culture of shame and bullying in some leading ballet schools in the United Kingdom.
On Thursday, her lawyer, Dino Nokvili from Lee Day, said the settlement “was an important step in highlighting the body of the body and abuse of treatment so that a lot of ballet had to suffer but also the great influence on them.”
He added: “We continue the demand that we submitted in 2023 that the government is conducting a shame in the body and ill -treatment in the ballet. We cannot stand while another generation of ballet dancers suffers.”
