Reply from Whitney, Age 15 - 03/29/01 Hi Kate!! Actually if anything i would of thought you were underweight, thats what it seems like! I think someone needs to talk to your ballet teacher because I am in dance and so is one of my good friends who is REALLY good at ballet and she is the same height and weight as me! we are 5'6 and weigh about 126 pounds! If you eat healthy and stay in shape you wont have any problems! You should really tell your teachers that (if its hurting you) this is hurtin you and to please stop or otherwise find another place to dance at!! TRUST ME YOU DONT NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT, I WOULD GIVE ANYTIHNG TO BE 100 POUNDS! bye!!
Reply from Julie, Age 15 - 03/21/01 I am also a dancer and I think it is awful that your teacher is telling u that u r fat. She shoulsn't be concentrating on your body size ne way, it is the way that you present yourself in dance that is the most important. I know how it feels being told u r fat, a dancing teacher who has now left used to tell me that i had put on weight and that diminshed my confidence in myself. But u just need to think confidently in keep up dancing, becasue sooner or later, u will turn ne baby fat that uu have into muscle. Trust me it happens, it happened to me. Good Luck!!! p.s u can email me if u want : pigeon_meaner@hotmail.com
Reply from Ariel, Age 15 - 03/19/01 I think your teachers might think you look fat because you don't have very much muscle. You could try lifting weights and running. That might help you, because 100 lbs. is NOT fat! God Bless!!!
Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 03/18/01 I don't think you are fat at all. I don't think your ballet teacher is being very fair at all and it is people like her that give other people a complex. Do you really want to do ballet that much and risk being given a complex?
