Elle: The True Story of a Young Girl

My ballet presentation about preventing eating disorders. Film creds to David Kinsella. Editing done by me. It is fictional film wise (the dancer is still alive), but it tells the true story of many young dancers that have suffered from anorexia.

okay honestly this girl's name is not Elle. It's Oksana Skorik (or Oxsana Skoryk) and she's not dead. She's still alive and now dances for the Mariinsky Ballet in Russia. She's over 5'8" and 100 lbs.

I weight 93 pounds, I dance beautifully. I can also stuff my face like a pig. Trololol

Umm...dance is NOT anaerobic exercise. You need to re-check those definitions.

@elliealart Sorry if my english was not good. I has to use google. :) ~Viktoriya

You must be a weight to be anorexic, yes. But unless you are properly diagnosed weight, you'll be diagnosed with EDNOS. ~ Viktoriya

Actually Oksana Skorik (NOT Elle) is alive and this was non-fiction movie documenting Oksana's stey (and the other girls') at Perm Ballet School. It tells her story, not just any doncer, but her REL story. She is most wonderful dancer in the Mariinsky Ballet today. You should learn more about the film before you make another school film about it. Sorry if my english was not good. my cousin dosnot understand me...and i had to write mysef. ~Viktoriya (Виктория)

[KiliniLove]

Thanks!

[elliealart]

@MsWastedGirl1 Yeah, I get what you mean, it's just... it sounded as if you didn't honestly know a thing, you know. I haven't seen any of her videos, but thanks for telling me. I'll take a look. Good luck to you too.

[MsWastedGirl1]

@elliealart I know that, i know. Honestly. My only point is that yeah, anyone could be suffering from Anorexia, I don't know where you live, but I live in the UK and around here Doctors are very strict about diagnosing 'just anyone' with anorexia. There's someone pretty good on Youtube called Magicalcharlotte dont know if you watch her but she didn't get diagnosed for a while, like me, because the NHS are shit. Anyways, good luck
