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

yeah i think you could take pointe. my dance teacher was telling us that she went to a ballet and there was a girl that was bigger than most pointe dancers are, but she was still keeping up with the rest of them and was really good. i think you should deffinetly try it.
