Mindfulness has recently flooded the health and wellness social media landscape. With roots in Buddhism, mindfulness is a skill of attention involving focusing on the present moment with curiosity and nonjudgment. Mindfulness practices, including meditation, have many benefits for busy young dance students, who often face a unique combination of stresses around social comparison, self-doubt, body image issues, performance anxiety, and increasingly overscheduled lifestyles. Many may lack an understanding of mindfulness or misperceive its components. Persistent stigmas around mental health may also keep students from openly experimenting with mindfulness practices. The purpose of this article is to concisely define mindfulness for dance students, its potential benefits, and considerations for how mindful practices, particularly meditation, can be integrated into dance students' lives.
