[quote=Anonymous]I was a ballet dancer until 10th grade, when my parents became concerned about the pressure to maintain a certain weight and look (FYI, at the time I was 5' tall and weighted 98 pounds). They encouraged me to take a break and spend the summer taking tennis lessons, then try out for my HS team. I made the team and dropped ballet (BTW, the ballet footwork and agility is really great for tennis). I still love dance of all kinds, but, wow, am I glad my parents were proactive. I saw too many dancer friends develop eating disorders in HS and college. [/quote]
