Any dancers with lip rings out there?

Question

im a ballet dancer who is starting to audition for companies. Im a pretty good dancer but i definitely dont look like your average "ballerina", I dye may hair at least 2 times a month and i have a lip ring. I'll have a natural hair color for the auditions and I have a pretty discreet lip ring i can wear but people are advising me to completely change my style. I'll do that if thats what it takes but otherwise not sure if im ready for that. any help?

Answer 1

Did you remember that famous gymnist that won all the gold medals. She had all kinds of stuff on her. You must follow your heart/direction. Listen to yourself and what you want most then you will be more comfortable being expressive creative etc. Have fun b u.

Answer 2

It depends on the companies you are auditioning for.

A traditional classical company will want you to match the rest fo the corps.   un-natural hair colors and visable piercings will be a problem.

A more contemporary company might not be as concerned about an uniform appearance.

Answer 3

Weird I think you should take it out before dancing.
