ok so i have a passion for dancing. i loveee it. i love to be on stage. i love to perform. i've done sports all of my life and i'm about to be a senior and i've never taken a jazz/ballet class. i regret it a lot. i know if i had started dance earlier i could have gone so much further than where i went with sports. i feel so sad ..... like i wasted talent and spent time on things that took me no where.

i started taking hiphop classes....bc that requires no previous dance knowledge....just a little rythym........and a week later they made me a teacher at the studio.

i want to go far and try out for companies and go somewhere.i know i have the stage presence to do it. but every audition, application, or place wants jazz and ballet knowledge. i want to learn jazz and ballet fast and cheap but all of the classes are for 5 year olds and it takes years to learn all i need to know.

does anyone have any advice?!?!?! am i too late!

and if i did learn jazz and ballet where do i go from there?

how do i get noticed?!?! where do i start!?!

let me start by saying this.
im a teenager [younger than you]
and ive been dancing 11 years.
and i dance 10 hours a week
and im a competition dancer. [meanign i compete against other dance schools]
and i love it.
i do ballet/tap/jazz/broadway/lyrical/hip hop.

If you LOVE to dance.
you wouldn't mind dancing with 5 year olds to get technique. If you want to learn ballet & jazz fast don't do it for like 1 hour! You need to practice practice practice!
take advice from me, dancing isn't an easy sport. It takes time & commintment. Alot of commintment. You give up your personal life to dance. You want to dance. You need to be dedicated & you have to be ready for a challenge. Hip hop is nothing compared to ballet. In ballet your graceful. [thats the type i am] and in hip hop your getting low and shaking it.

I am not trying to make your self confidence go down. I just wanted you to face the truth.

Having stage prescence is awesome. Its worth a THOUSAND words. I bet you, you could learn the WHOLE technique process for just ballet - alone for 1 year.

This is what i suggest. Your never to late to dance. I know many people who dance at your age.

When you do learn jazz & ballet I would suggest maybe learning pointe when your teacher says you have strong ankles.
Right now, you don't have strong ankles. I know it for a fact.

Now, you need to work with a professional dance teacher. Who specilizes in ballet & jazz.
TIP - learn ballet first. learn the techniques because you will catch on to jazz quite fast afterwards.

Start by having a professional BALLET teacher teaching you the positions of ballet & the movements & etc. [they will know what their doing]

After you start improving. You can go to competitions & enter. [their not cheap. about a good 2000 dollars] and their on you start getting noticed. You get flyers in the mail & you get awards. Especially when your on your own. You get trophies. BIG ONES TOO! its fun! Dance is a great sport. You just have to be dedicated. & give up things you love for it. :D

Anyways, if you need more help. Please let me know.
:D

hey everyone... im 13/f and I have a serious problem sweating underneath my arms. I have tried a couple special deoderants, but they didn't work. Once I started shaving my under-arms last year was when all the sweating started.I heard there was a shot you could get to stop/not swaet as much...?? If anyone has ANYY info on this shot(name, price, where i can get it....) plzzzzzzz help me!!!!Thankx

Sweating is completely natural. Everyone sweats.
I did some research & this is what I came across.

First of all. I would recommend telling your doctor about this problem.

Second of all. Instead of getting a shot, their is somethign called Maxim. Its $13.95. And not only can you use it for arm pits - but also your face ; feet & hands!

I will provide you with the website I read all of this info. I would consider reading it.

:D

I'm 15 and I'm completley new to makeup. Shocking, right? I don't really need it all that much but I kind of wanted to step up my look a little bit. Can somebody help me with colors to choose or something?

Hair color: Light Brown
Eye Color: Green Blue (hazel)
Skin Color: Light with a few freckles

I'd appreciate it so much :)

Gurl. You remind me of myself. I have light brown hair with green & blue eyes and im light colored with freckles on my cheeks.

My favorite makeup brand is Wet nd Wild.
I absoutely love it.
So I suggest you start out with that brand.

First of all.
Buy the following products from Wet nd Wild:
-eyeliner
-mascara
-blush
-makeup brushes
-eyeliner sharpener
-eye shadow
-eye brow brush
-lip gloss

Get black eyeliner & mascara. [dont get the liquid kind]
Blush that goes good with your skin tone [light red i would suggest]
For eye shadow, I would suggest light brown colors [which are natural colors]. I also like to put glitter as eye shadow also. I would recommend [duff stuff by hilary duff] if you would like to use the glitter as eyeshadow.
Lip Gloss. I had experiences with this. Don't use light colors. Use like a darker shade of pink..but not light pink.
Now when you put this all on.
Don't put it on dark.

I hope I helped you :D
If you have anymore questions.
I would love to answer them!
:P

Ok so i have this friend...and I think he's bulimic. I saw him eating the other day and when he was done...he threw up and it looked like he made himself throw up.

What should I do? Should I confront him about it? Tell someone? Both? Please help, im really worried about him.

Sit down and talk to him about it.
Don't just 'assume' because guess what
maybe he was sick from the food.

If you accuse him of being bulimic, but really isnt. Thats 10 x worse then being confronted by someone that your bulimic.

Anyways, if he is, you need to tell him your not fat. Even if it is or not true. You don't need a friend thinking hes fat & needs to puke just to be skinny.

You need to accept who you are. Your not gonna be a model in a magazine. You don't want to look like someone who your not. And If you love him as a friend. You would help him with his problem.

i started to cut in march and i stopped in june and now im starting again. it feels like i have to do it at least once a day. my friends get really upset when i cut because they dont want me to hurt myself. does anyone know what i can do to try to stop? please help me.

Cutting is an addiction.
& is something really hard to get over!

Is their a reason why you cut yourself?
..if their is [let me know & ill offer you more advice]

I know people who do this - and it upsets me.
This is what you should do.
First, by getting over your cutting addiction, do something that you like. Like going somewhere - Arcades ; Movies ; Ice Skating etc. Get your mind off of things. You don't want to have things on your mind [bad things especially] cause then, it will just keep making you even more upset & want to cut yourself. When you go places go with your friends. Have fun. Get your mind off of things.
Another thing I would say is, spend more time at your friends house rather than at your house.

Please don't feel afraird to let me know whats going on.
Feel free to let me know & I promise to answer your problems.
:D

i met this guy a couple of weeks ago and we hit it of right away and i went to go see him and his a really nice guy and everything i dont know what to do im confused i like him really lots but i dont want myself to get to the point where im to attrated to him to much cause where i was hurt before

Ok.
Let me tell you one thing.
DON'T EVER DATE SOMEONE WHO YOU TRUELY DON'T KNOW YET. I'm saying, if you know absoutely nothing about them..their is no relationship. Talking about how your day is, is not a relationship.
And your right. You most likely will get hurt again by him. You just met him.

Before you start taknig each other more seriously. You need to get to know him. You need to know things about him.

If he has had a bad past - hes not worth it.

I moved into an apartment with my friend and now I wanna move out. The problem is, we don't know who gets what (lamps, tables, couches, kitchen stuff...). Honestly, everything in MY room is what I paid for, and I bought most of everything else, but I can't remember exactly who bought what. How do we decide fairly who gets what? How do I handle something like this better in the future?

My suggestion would be to decide together.
What you want to take.
Sit down with your friend & decide do you want to keep this or not.
I know you don't want her having 'your stuff'. But if you think about it..you guys shared your apartment, you can share your items.

To handle something like this better in the future, I would suggest knowing what you own.
I mean, putting labels down are smart but also tacky.

So in other words, talk to your friend about things. Ask her if she would like to have this. I mean if you seriously really want a specific couch and she doesn't want it [whether she owns it or not], shes giving it to you. And Honestly, you need the basic things in life to live in a house [lamps, tables, couches etc.]. You can't have all of it, cause your friend needs it too!

First, get a pad a pencil and write down [your friend's name] on 1 side and [your name] on the other. Make a list of all the things in your room that you will be taking and decide who is getting what.
That would be my solution.
If you have any other questions.
Let me know :D
