    Danced from 3-7, got fat, lost my weight in 9th grade by dancing every day in my bedroom after school and portion control, and have pretty much kept it off since. I still enjoy dancey-type workouts for cardio! SW 192, GW 135 at maintenance for the better part of 20 yrs!

    Danced for 17 years. Taught for 2. Local ballet company (amateur) for 3. Tiny tiny back then. Larger than I ever thought possible now. But I'm working on it.

    started ballet when I was 6......got my pointe shoes at age 12.....danced until I was 16......decided sleeping in on a Saturday morning was preferable to pointe class at 9am!!!!!.....had gone as far as I could in the grades anyway and I didn't want to teach or enter a company so I quit.....i'm now 43!!!!
