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 xoxo

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.

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!

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:

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.

I'm a contemporary dancer.

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!

I completely agree 100%! It is the best job ever! And I have the same problem with loving food its terrible! Lol

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 xxxxx

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?

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!
