13 year old, pre-professional ballerina, eating issues?
Hey! Basically I'm a 13 year old girl who is also seriously concentrated in ballet. I am homeschooled and live for ballet! My family is concerned about my eating issues and sudden weight loss. I also struggle with anxiety because I am very much a perfectionist.
I am looking for someone who has experience with those sorts of things and understand the demands and dedication of being involved in a pre-professional program. I travel very often so my time zone is never consistent. Just want someone I can bounce ideas off of and get feedback. I don't know what else to type D:
Thanks!
@ballerinadreamer As a listener, I would love to talk to you. I have knowledge and experience of what you prefer me to understand and am currently accepting 1-1 chats. PM me if you would like to talk
Hey @ballerinadreamer! I'm a professional performing artist (not in ballet though!), and I know what it's like to be a perfectionist in the arts - spending long hours trying to get that one sequence just right, and then maintaining it that way. I understand that sometimes non-artists don't understand the extremes of what we are willing to sacrifice, and I won't ever judge your dedication - in fact, it inspires me! Drop me a message if you'd like to chat! :) Just a note though, I also travel a lot so my time zones keep changing, but I'm willing to do continuous message exchanges for support if that's okay with you!
Hi, I have no clue if you will see this because this was posted 9 years ago. But i’ve been dealing with some crazy things right now. I really wanna go into Ballet, but I don’t think I’m quite good enough. I found myself questioning what I wanna actually do after high school since I’m a senior this year if you went into Ballet, do you have any advice?
