Am I too big to be a dancer?

I am a 15 yr old ballet dancer. I am 5'2" and 100 pounds. Am I too big for a dancer?

You sound perfect, if your taking lessons somewhere, ask the people who are training you, or check out sits on the webs that will give you really accurate information, like the Big Dancing Studios.

not at all.
I used to dance.
but I don't anymore.
I have a gold medal and a few other medals.
but no you're a the perfect size.

girl I WEIGHT LIKE LOT MORE THAN YOU AND IM A DANCER ... SO NO YOUR NOT

At the moment your size is perfect.

It is true that smaller dancers are better dancers in general due to the nature of the dance, and also especially when you dance pas de deux. The guy shouldn't struggle to lift you up! But on the other hand you should also have enough strength for ballet can be very strenious.

I think rather worry about your technique and feeling you put into your dancing - in the end that is most important.

And enjoy

HECK NO!!! I am 15 almost 16 and I am 5'4" and I wiegh 114. my little sister is an inch shorter than me, but weighs more than I do. she is a dancer to. no one is to big to dance. it is a sport anyone can learn to do.

well not rally.I am 5 foot 6.5 and I weigh 109
directors ma tell you to lose weight but dont listen

You would be prefect!
I dance ballet I started when I was three so I know a lot about this kind of stuff.
But let me just say one thing. Ballet takes almost eight years to learn. So you may not be able to be a company dancer but you could still dance.

of course your not dont think that go on have a try and and if you think your too big and cant do it then quit easy as that love you babe have a try gd luk

love laurenxxx

nah your really the great size to dancer

No way are you to big to be a dancer. You sound perfect.
why the hell do you think your too big??? I 5'1' and weigh 103 pounds and I Break Dance and people tell me I'm to small. I dont worry about it because if I'm a good dancer than it does really matter. Just love what you do and stop worring.
<3

heck no im 5' 4" and im 14 I wiehg 120 but I play a lot of sports but I dance...

Luk I dont know if thats an gud rate or not but what I do know is that if you love dancing nothing else should matter. Work your hardest & be MORE than the best you can be. If you are determined to do that youd be an awesome dancer

I'm 5ft 7 I doo ballet!! =] its good and all =]

Nope im the same size and age and I also am a dancer. Your not too big. :]

no way thats actually pretty healthy, cause as a dancer you need muscle and seeing as that weighs more than fat so you shouldn't be thinking about your weight as in weighing too much, more of weighing too little. I'm a dancer myself and before summer I was 122 lbs at 5 foot 4.5 inches and was trying to gain 3 lbs in muscle which would have made me more secure and controlled as dancer, sadly I had to undergo surgery and I've lost weight and am down to 115 lbs last time I checked and unfortunately I've lost a lot of the control and balance I once had. Losing weight sometimes can take a toll on your dancing. Just 8 months ago I had clean quintuple pirouette working and a fouette turns on pointe, now I cant do a clean triple pirouette or a fouette on flat... so ignore your weight, eat healthily, and focus on your dancing thats the only way to have fun and get better on your own, you may loose a dress size or two this way, I did!

im 13 and I do ballet I weigh about 105 pounds and im about 5ft4 so I dont think your too big to dance.

No if anything you need to gain some weight. I am 15 weighting 187pounds and can be a ballet dancer can drop it like ta and still do a good damn job. So you are fit to be a ballet.

no way! Your perfect

Perfect size.My friend Lexi is the same.

Nobody Is too big to be a dancer. It's not about your body size, it's feeling beautiful about you and how you dance. I have dancer for 11 years... so I am the one to know.

No way, I'm 5'9" and I weigh 125 (15 years old) and I've been dancing for 6 years. You're fine and I'm sure that any male ballet dancer would be thrilled to have such a feather as a partner.
