Am I too fat for ballet?

[Anette1256]

Generally, I don't think that I'm fat or overweight, but I mean this question in the ,, ballet standarts". I have friends who do ballet and they are skinny as hell! I'm 5'6 high and I weight 125 lbs (171 cm/ 57 kg). And I have cruves (booty and boobs)... I love dancing and movement. So what do you think should I take up ballet?

I'm 5 feet 7.5 inch = 171 cm now its correct :)

5'6 is not 171 cm. It's more like 168 cm. You're about the same measurements as me. Maybe professional ballet would be difficult but as a hobby I think you're totally fine. It's not like your body fat gets in the way because you aren't fat or anything.

Sorry for the conversion of units. I am from the Czech Republic where we have centimeters. I'll try to fix it. Even so, thank you very much.

I also have no idea how those feet and pounds work. I'm also from Europe. I just know some feet measurements because I've been on gag for a little longer.
Anyways, 171 cm and 57 kg is not fat. It's just normal. I think you'll do fine.

No you're not too fat!
I don't think there's a weight limit for ballet, there are some overweight ballet dancers and people have many different shapes in dancing! (:

You are not fat. You have the average body measurements. You can think & you can dance too. It is your hobby.
