Intervention type: PROCEDURE
Intervention: Resting Metabolic rate
Description: Resting metabolic rate will be measured by resting gas analysis. Each participant will lie down for a period of 15 minutes, in the final 5 minutes their expired gases are analysed using a breath-by-breath gas analyser (Cortex).

Intervention type: OTHER
Intervention: Energy expenditure
Description: Energy expenditure was estimated using accelerometery (Genieactive) and activity logs in the participants' normal environment, assessed during 3 weekdays of scheduled dance training and 2 weekend days without scheduled dance training. Focus is on daily energy expenditure
