The world of ballet education is steeped in a tradition of discipline and established hierarchy. The authoritarian pedagogical approach to ballet education and its negative consequences have been well documented in the dance-specialized literature. However, research on emotional abuse in dance is scarce. In sports, emotional abuse has been extensively researched, and the concept of psychological safety as applied to sports has been developed to protect athletes from such abuse. The present study investigated ballet students’ perceptions of psychological safety and their recommendations to reach it. Their recommendations focused on respecting students’ abilities, individualities, and increasing communication on all levels of interactions. Particular importance was also given to avoiding comparison and competition. Through the recommendations given to teachers, fellow students, parents, and school directors, the participants help us understand what is needed to increase psychological safety in ballet education and provide a healthier psychological environment for future dancers.
