Actually I've always read that ballet dancers in professional schools had to have a ballet body which I always thought meant that you had to be really skinny... In a lot of schools in Russia the teachers encourage the ballet dancers to lose a lot of weight and then a lot of girls become anorexic.... But that doesnt mean that if you arnt stick-skinny you can't do ballet! But sadly if you look at all the really famous prefessional ballerinas like svetlana zakharova and diana vishneva and polina semionova are very skinny with no hips and flat chests, thats what some ballet teachers encourage their students to look like but I'm NOT saying that I'm encouaging everyone who wants to do ballet to look like that I'm just saying what ive learned on my expeirence and what ive read and done reserch on infact theres a lot of ballerinas that are in companys and they arnt the skinniest people in the world but I know some friends that do ballet and they arnt really skinny but they have fun and thats what dancing is about :) infact if you dance ballet you can get really strong and lose extra body fat that way... :)
