Ballet Body?!


Question:

Ballet Body?

I was wondering what the perfect body for ballet is. Rite now, I'm 13 yrs old, 5'2", and 111.5 lbs (though i look thinner.) Is this an okay body for ballet? I do a lot of lyrical, tap, jazz, modern, etc. and i always feel like the fat . I do take ballet and i'm starting pointe, but i'm going to a new studio, and i want to know if i need to lose some weight to make ballet/pointe easier. What do you think?


Answers:

I don't know anything about ballet or ballerinas, but I found this link to a dance school website: http://www.dancer.com/askteach/generalda...

It seems like you'll have to do some research to find out the specific "body type" that ballet schools frequently look for. If there's a way for you to speak with a dancer or possibly make an appointment to speak with a teacher from a dance school for some guidance, that would probably be best.

Lots of luck!
