I take ballet? Am i overweight?

Question

I am about 130 lbs, 5'9 and have taken ballet since i was tiny. I am in a pre professional company...and everyone else there is tiny. i feel like a giant!

Answer 1

You are just fine...I used to partner with ballerinas up to 6' tall and 160 lbs....don't worry.

Answer 2

I think you feel tall, not overweight.  Your weight is actually good for being 5'9, don't lose any weight.  Being tall in the ballet world is okay, just harder to find partners for.  Tall dancers have beautiful lines since their arms and legs are so long.  My daughter is also in a pre professional company and their best dancer is about 5'8.  Just dance and be beautiful; you are fine the way you are =)

Answer 3

At 5'9" and 130 h**l NO are you overweight. Are you bigger than the other dancers? You sure are. But you are NOT overweight. I am overweight. I am 5'6" and 175 pounds. Work out the BMI on THAT. I am working on it though.

Tyra Banks is a supermodel. She is 5'11" and 161 pounds. Does she look overweight to you?

Answer 4

Stop obsessing about your weight. There are some famous dancers out there who are about the same height as yours and yet they're still the best dancers out. You just feel taller.

Answer 5

im sure its ok im tall too and remember... muscle ways more than fat!

Answer 6

:) HELLO! I am 5'7" and 105 lbs. You are definitley not overweight!!! You are how you should be-skinny and TALL! :) So don't think your a giant. Now you may be skinny and tall but maybe your feeling you aren't healthy? If so, try changing food eating habits and you already excersize (dance!) Well be confident and don't feel weird because you are perfect the way you are! Hope I helped! :)
