Please answer only if you have experince in ballet or know someone who does...
I am a female, age 14, and I weigh 140lbs (about). Do you think I am too fat to do pointe work? Am I too fat to have a partner? What can I do to ensure that I will be able to start pointe in the fall? (I have to please my teacher and it is totally her choice wether or not I can take pointe) Do you think I need to loose weight for this? Thank you so much

Okay. I am a ballerina. I have taken ballet for a good 15 years. No way hun, you are not to big to do pointe work. When i see "larger" girls doing pointe I admire them, you can do it! You do not have to be a twig to do pointe work. It looks pretty on anyone, just got to work at it like everyone else twig or not. partnering, im not sure. 140 pounds isnt very much. i say good luck. but you can definitely do pointe work. dont be so hard on yourself.
