I went to the International Ballet Competition with Alys (I was a student, she was a competitor) and I just want to let everyone know that I saw her in the cafeteria every day. Eating. She's just an amazing ballerina--there doesn't always have to be something behind it.
She's talented and the thin thing ..... her arms are VERY thin, and it affects her dancing, because (even though she isn't) it looks like her arms are always relaxed.
In ballet your arms are meant to look relaxed infact your whole body is meant to look relaxed like you are just gracefully flowing even though you are working really hard. And it hardly affects her if she can do 8 pirouettes. :)
@vanillabean001 by that I mean like... she probaly naturally small boned... but also not cuz she probaly does so much physical activity, and does eat enough food.
@DaniiKay93 Hahaha, OMG "she's just a ballet dancer That's how we are"...that's so not true and you know it.
Of course there are people who are naturally very thin, but I am an ex ballet dancer and I have yet to meet ANYONE in my profession that doesn't have an eating disorder of some kind...The pressure on ballet dancers to be thin IS there and IS very alive still today, and we ALL get disorders when it comes to eating unless we ALL would be naturally that thin, and we ALL ARE NOT!
What is wrong with you? Why would you even ask that? Some ballerinas often suffer from eating disorders but not all of them because it often leads to poor performances. They are not as strong and therefore they have to deal with more problems on and off the stage.
Nope, she's not anorexic at all... if you knew her you'd realize that in a heartbeat. Having known her since she was 12 she's always been extremely lean but never, ever, even remotely sick.
hey just wondering...whats the average age for grade 5 RAD ??
If anyone knows..

Alys Shee is one of my favorite dancers! And she's not too thin- she's young and a dancer. This is her body type- she's beautiful. She's going far.

Okay she might not be anorexic but she still looks sick. Even if she isn't at all. It still looks weird.
