i'm 12 and most of the girls in my ballet class are skinnier than me.if an average person looked at me they would say i was skinny but compared to the other girls in my class,i look bigger.
my parents say that i'm growing and people gain weight anyway coming into adolescence but i can't help feeling self-conscious!please help!
What your parents say is true, all you can really do is eat VERY healthily. You can get a book at the National Ballet School of Canada's website called A dancer's guide to healthy eating. I'm not saying you don't eat right already, I don't know about that, but it is very important. Also remember that everyone is different, you should never compare yourself to someone else.
when i gained some extra weight after my foot surgery, i would do alot of tummy toning excersices lik sit ups and crunches and sretching while watching T.V, i got alot more toned and burned extra calories too.
It's the same with me (I'm 12 too)! Everyone at school thinks I'm flat chested, but at dance mine are much bigger than anyone else's. If you want to lose some weight, indulge in fruits (they're so good) especially tropical ones, not just the norm like apples & pears etc. Explore your supermarket (I know it's hard because it sounds like you live in the US) Some examples are passionfruit, mangoes, watermelon, honeydew melon & pomegranate!
I really know how you feel, good education and preparation are important components in life and they are treasures I think you are a really smart dancer, congratulations and keep going on your goals.
I couldn't find the video where we were supposed to post new video ideas, so I'll post mine here..
I think it would be a) helpful b) just awesome if you guys made an informational video about what it takes to be a pro dancer in this day and age. I really respect and trust what you guys have to say about things and I feel like I learn from the best!
Do you love ballet??? because if you do, who cares whether you're good or bad at it? if you continue to practice, work hard and stretch, then get up there with a smile on your face and feel confident, people will see you happy, and nothing else will matter. love what you do and be confident in your abilities! i'm sure you're a wonderul dancer!
I've watched all of your videos. Each and every person makes it look so easy and gracefully beautiful and effortless.
...... I just started pointe this year.
And it makes me appreciate what you guys do even more!!
Pointe is harder than it looks! :D But I just watch these videos and think to myself "Keep trying and working and pushing through it because you could look like this someday! " You guys are inspirations.
I wanted to start ballet this year but I can't afford it. I've always wanted to do it and I'm 16 now and I hope to go en pointe one day but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
I started ballet for the 1st time in my life last year at 15, i loved it. i basically feel in love with it.. and guess what? my ballet teacher said i'm goin on pointe in 2 wks! and i'm 16... trust me if u want your dream, work, and it wil come true!
It's just going to be a long wait. My mother also sees it as a waste of time and money because I'm not "going to be using it for anything". Since I want to dance for myself.
She said "If you want to do it wait till your done school and you can do it for fun but I'm not spending so much money for it.
Oh My God im so sad she went to college instead of joining the company, she was brillant

She's so right! When you're dancing nothing else is on your mind. It's a wonderful escape.

Don't be discouraged by lack of money!
you can start dancing at ANY age, so just keep waiting, stretching and keeping fit for when the day comes.
you'll go en pointe one day if you set your mind to it!
