Ideal Weight For A Dancer? Please help!?

Question

Hi!

I've been dancing since I was three, and now, at 12 (13 in October), I want to pursue a professional career in ballet. It's a little late, I know, but I'm prepared to work very hard. The only problem is that, at 168 cm, ppl thnk i'm too tall, but actually, i've been the same height for 3 years (i've matured rather quickly), nd i weigh 54 kilos, which i think is pretty heavy for a dancer. I dont want t b anorexic or anythng, i jst want to knw an ideal weight for my height.

Thanks

Answer 1

Dancers actually weigh more than the average person because of our muscles. And Muscles weigh more than fat!!

I would say you are just fine.  

Answer 2

i feel the same way i have been dancing since i was two and i am 13 now. my roommate at my dance intensive did not have the perfect body but yet she was an amazing dancer. o that should prove to you weight doesn't mean much. i am really short and i can dance so. i don't think weight should anyone i am 93 pounds and short. i have really muscular thighs  and calfs. so i like to think i am all muscle. you should think that way to. ohhh and your not late.

best of luck

Answer 3

because you are tall your weight should even out all over your body so i would say your the right wieght
