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

My friend weighs about 135, the same as you, and she's taken pointe for about 4 years now. People that weigh a little more are no different than people who weigh a little less. Everyone is different. It doesn't matter how much you weigh, it matters if you have skill and the determination. However, if you want to lose weight, [[ which is optional ]], eat healthy && exercise.

Hope I helped!
