electra Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I am a ballet dancer. If you don't know it already the world of ballet is full of thin people. They all have nice long legs and beautiful arms. I feel like I will never reach these expectations. I keep watching all these videos full of perfect bodies and that makes me feel depressed. I love ballet and I want to be a professional dancer.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way about yourself. I really like the advice from @Blue22031 about how being a ballet dancer doesn't mean you have to change yourself. I'm wondering, are there any videos out there of ballet dancers with body types that are different to being thin? Also, can I ask, what are two or three things that you like about your body or appearance? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
