Hi everyone!
I'm so excited to see fellow dancers on here. What types of training does everyone have? Where do you go to school? What are your weight struggles?
I'm currently a BFA student at The College at Brockport in New York. I am mostly focused on modern and ballet at this point and I dance every single day of the week. It's the best thing in my life! :happy:

Hey Meg!!
My Name is Rebecca and I'm currently studying Musical Theatre in Australia
I've always been mainly a singer and now all of a sudden I've been learning jazz, tap and ballet but everyone else at my uni is super skinny and I just want to be able to compete in the industry so I'm gettin how and fit lol.
I'm so jealous of people that are super flexible, I'm a tapper mostly and I absolutley suck at ballet lol.
Anyway, I think this group is an awesome idea:)
Have a nice day xoxo0 -
Hey everyone! My name is Jessica, I'm 23 years old and a Dance Instructor. I teach tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary and a variety of ballroom and latin. It really is the best job and it's SO nice to be able to exercise for a living! If only I didn't like food so much ;-)0

Hi my name is Jenna and I am 23. I currently teach dance and I love tap! Weight has always been a struggle for me but I want a healthy body if I'm going to open my own studio.0

hey! my names brooke im a dancer from vancouver bc. i do ballet, contemporary, jazz, burlesque and *****cat dolls. contemporary is my passion. went to idyllwild school of music and the arts in southern california for 2 years in high school and was in the dance dept. dance has saved my life and its the reason i get up in the morning and somedays why i continue to wake up and face life. i struggle with depression and an autoimmune disease, so some days are pretty grim. dance keeps me positive and releases toxic energy from my body as well as provides me with a creative outlet. i dont care about being skinny, i prefer to have a nice curvy figure (not overweight though). anyways, please feel free to add me as a friend.0

Hi Everybody!
I'm Jocelyn in Ontario, Canada and I'm a Music Theatre instructor here. I'm teaching voice, acting and dancing at a number of schools in the area and working toward teaching certificates in all these disciplines. My struggle in highschool, college and uni with eating disorders has left me in rough shape physically. My students help keep me grounded and interested in what I'm doing but teaching doesn't keep me as active as I would like. I'm working toward reminding my self that I'm a dancer first and a teacher after...you can't teach if you can't dance! I have a lot of goals for myself in the future including performing and opening my own stuio, it's about time to get my act together!
Thanks for the group!0 -
Hi, my name is Scott. I am studying Dance Education at a University in Utah. I started dancing at age 18 and I love every moment of it. I study modern, ballet, social ballroom, and jazz. I am on here trying to stay healthy, I have had to start eating more than I normally would; but I don't want to over eat. As of right now I only dance four days a week and study anatomy on the weekends.0

Good Morning,
I'm a dancer and a social worker. I have been dancing since I was 6 years of age, and I am trained in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, ethnic, and hip-hop. I also have background in Musical Theatre. Right now......sadly, I'm only doing Zumba (sorry that was a corny dance joke). I went to school at Western Michigan University, I have a dance minor. I started off as a double major, but I wanted to get out of school (regretting that to this day).
I have always been pretty fit, until I had my daughter. I fell for the whole "eating for two" none sense...and I have had trouble ever since getting back to my 'performance' weight. It's all kind of depressing.0 -

Hello everyone! I am not a dance student per se, but I am a student and very active in dance. I will take the bar in Feb. I did ballet/jazz for 12 years, was on a belly dancing troupe for 2 years, taught social ballroom/lain for 2 years, and am now breaking into the burlesque scene. I would love to hear other people's fitness tips, especially flexibility techniques to help me get back into my ballet shape. 0

Hi everyone!
Not sure if I belong here either because I'm not a "professional", but I'm 25 and just started dancing last year at a local studio. I took modern and now I'm almost finished with a summer ballet class. I love to dance and it's an amazing workout that doesn't feel like a workout to me because it's so fun! I love going to each class and feeling my technique get better and better... I'm trying to watch what I eat and dance more this coming year because I hate being the biggest girl in the class!0 -

Hi! I've just made the transition from dancer to teacher this ear and massively struggled to stay slim, I was piling on the pounds at first and not worrying because it made a change from constantly being aware. However now it's getting out of hand and I need some major readjustment. Always struggled with weight but my jobs kept me slim, not ill have to use some willpower ...hoping you can help! What a great group, can't wait to start with my fitness pal xxxxx0

Hi I am 15! I am studing to become a proffesional and i want to lose weight as most dancers do and i have never really been fat but my matabolisum is slowing down and i am slowly realising that i need to start dieting.... are there any good diets or cross training out there?0

Hi, everyone! Nice to meet you. My name is Emily and I live in Chicago. I studied dance for about 18 years. Mostly classical ballet, but also tap, modern, jazz, & a bit of ballroom. I eventually quit my studies due to too many tendonitis issues & podiatry problems. Over the years I've really missed dancing. I have gotten back into it for aerobic benefit & am going to take a class again for fun in the fall. So that counts to join this group, I hope? I joined MFP to lose 30 lbs. of "skinny fat" and get healthy & fit again. I am excited about reclaiming my dancer's spirit and determined to regain some flexibility & energy. Feel free to add me as a friend! 0

Hello my name is Cassandra! I'm 17 years old and I mostly do ballroom dance. though I am working on modern, jazz, hip hip and ballet. My dream is to be a professional dancer, but so far my weight has kind of been holding me back. I want to be able to wear that low back ballroom dress, and do that hard lift and still be comfortable. I'm super excited to be a part of this group. it's nice to know I'm not the only dancer in the world struggling to keep the weight off!

Hey, I'm from Christchurch New Zealand and work for an organisation that focuses on Brazilian dance styles. Personally I focus of zouk and more recently also samba de gafieira/samba funkeado which we're just starting to introduce to New Zealand. I also study full time - but with such limited performing art opportunities in my country I've shelved my former performance studies and taken up finance and economics!0

Hello,
I'm a pre-professional ballerina studying in Russia
Just getting ready go to to class now so I didn't have time to go through the whole thread, but please add me as a friend, I would love to get to know you guys!!0 -
I dance ballet, modern and contemporary. I'm currently using this site to be healthier and stay in shape, not to lose weight per se. Either way, shedding a couple of pounds as well won't be so bad.
