Ballet dancers: How do you stay so skinny?

Anyone who takes ballet: are you on a special diet recommended by your ballet school? How do you stay skinny?

No diet recommended. We don't eat a lot and we're always moving around... But we don't all have eating disorders! I hate it when people think that. We do eat very little though, we're pretty much control freaks about anything that goes into our bodies. And we never stop moving around, even outside of class and rehearsal, so we burn those calories really, really fast.

Personally, I try and eat between 1,000 and 1,500 calories a day (I never try to eat below a thousand, EVER, and I don't mind if I go over 1,500 as long as it stays at or below 2,000). I also do pilates, which is like, a miracle.

Hope I helped!

I think it just that dancing is good exercise.|||typically a true ballet dancer is a dancer of ballet because they are naturally long and lean, I have a friend who dances ballet and she is 5'8 and 103....she is very thin, and looses weight if she doesn't eat....|||Ballet (or any other performance dancing) is serious exercise. I think I heard on TV that Marie Osmond has lost 30 pounds while training for her Dancing With The Stars gig. Most ballet dancers have heavy muscular legs and light upper bodies.|||we dance: 6 days a week 2+ hours a day|||I agree with another girl, BALLET IS TOURTURE! But I still love it.|||salsa, where do youu get your information from?? where is there a statistic that says that most ballet students have an eating disorder? that's WRONG.
