Mean girls in Ballet??

Question

My friend sais that girls in her ballet class are mean and she doesn't have any "good" friends. I'm 13 and I'm starting ballet soon and I was wondering if there are nice people who don't gossip about others and only care about money and do ballet. What happens if there are mean girls in ballet and I don't have any friends? Thanks!!

Answer 1

well you there to dance and just have fun if they are mean and stuck up fin something wrong with them and say _________(insert name) your________________(insert problem thats wrong with her/him) and then they will seee that theyre stupid and stuck up

Answer 2

Im pretty sure there will be nice people in your ballet class there is nice people every where but there are many mean ones too. We will always encounter someone who doesnt like us and that cant put us down. So when you start ballet just do your best, because thats what it is all about doing your best not their best, be nice, smile, be polite and is you get too nervous and s***w up just ignore the laughs or laugh along and continue your stuff. Oh yeah and remember not to become like them just to fit in alot of people do that and thats just wrong so even if the nice crowd isnt as big as the bitc*y one hang out with the nice one its better in the long run. If you love ballet just hang on, practice, enjoy yourself, and dont let any bad critic put you down.

Answer 3

Of coarse there are mean girls in ballet, its a very girly activity and it just happens. My ballet class was extremely cliquey, but it got better over time. Just be yourself and don't worry, your not there for the people anyway.

Answer 4

Well, it sounds like your friend is at a seriously competitive dance school where everyone b*****s about one another and tries to out do the next girl. Not all ballet classes are like this! I have been to a few and they have all been relatively nice, where you help each other and make up routines together. Dont let this put you off ballet because its great!xx

Answer 5

Remember some of these girls are very spoiled rich girls - also it can be very competitive.  However some of the girls will just be nice - so hang out with them.

Answer 6

Whatever you take anytime in your life you will find mean and cocky stuck up people.  Do it for you..not for them.  If you act nice..nice people will gravitate toward you and vice versa.  Ignore the stuckups.  They aren't worth your time and are just very lonely people.

Answer 7

I do pointe and ballet and there are a lot of stuck up girls who do it.....

To find out who is mean and who is a bitc*.  Listen to the girls who gossip and then look at the girls who don't talk and just love the sport.  

I have a couple of friends but since it is like classy the people think they are just so cool.  

You can make friends people are nice and you just have to make sure the people you are talking to are  nice and sincere, and not mean.

Be civil to everyone but be extra nice to the girls who seem sweet to you.

Answer 8

I have taken ballet for most of my life and have only once met someone who wasn't nice. She quit. Most ballet dancers are nice, but of course there will always be clashing personalities where ever you go and what ever you do. Look for a studio that is more relaxed and has a warm and opening atmosphere.

Answer 9

It depends ballet is a very very veryyy competitive sport, and if your better than the girls in your class they WILL talk about you because they are jealous. You know, in all my years in ballet i never had 1 real friend, and then i thought well duh their my competition, not my friends, and when ever they talk about me i just take it from where its coming from, you know a famous ballerina once told me, "you want people to talk about you" it just goes to show you how good you really are". And from this day i have developed something that makes me not get so upset when the girls talk about me. One time i was doing a solo in a performance, and i was very nervous, and one of the girls said, i hope she breaks her leg, and messes up her performance, and that just made me want to do better, so if you do start ballet, you will in TIME develop that skill that will enable you to just LOVE IT when they talk about you. Just look at all the energy they put into you instead of focusing of themselves. WELL... i hope this helps

Answer 10

I've been doing ballet since I was 4 years old, in a pretty intense school actually. How stuck up the girls are really depends on the intensity of the school. For example at L'Opéra de Paris the only thing the girls think about is competition and winning. Sometimes that is the only way to work your best, even if you do not have many friends in the end. But in less intense schools, everyone is pretty nice, well anyways there's always at least 1 mean girl in each class, but you can deal with it ;)

Answer 11

i know the type of girls in ballet your

friend is talking about, the ones who

form little cliques in ballet, whisper,

act s****., and show off whenever

they can.

there probably won't be such mean

girls in your dance class, or at least

some nice girls.

and if you don't have friends in your

dance class there will be nothing to

distract you from learning ballet!

(:

wow at some of the answers up there. my studio has never been like that. and even if people want to be immature like that, if you like ballet, keep doing it because you'll improve.

Answer 15

I dance because I love to dance not for friends. Dont worry just be you and forget about the mean dancers
